Swift and Kelce Marry in New York
Pop star Taylor Swift and football player Travis Kelce, both 36, are now married. Swift's publicist said they married on Friday evening at Madison Square Garden, a famous arena in New York City. About 1,000 guests came. The comedian Adam Sandler led the ceremony. There were no bridesmaids or groomsmen. Instead, Swift's brother Austin and Kelce's brother Jason stood with them. Both wore clothes by the fashion house Christian Dior.
The two started dating in the summer of 2023. They met around Swift's huge Eras Tour. They announced their engagement in August 2025. For months, fans tried to guess where the wedding would be. They looked at city papers and trucks near the arena. Madison Square Garden can hold nearly 20,000 people. But its closed design gave the couple privacy. Cameras and drones could not see inside.
Guests said the wedding felt personal, even though it was big. The arena became a green and white secret garden, with real flowers and a large staircase. The singer Stevie Nicks performed. The couple read vows that they wrote themselves. Famous guests included Selena Gomez, Bradley Cooper, and many football players. The first photos from inside soon appeared online.
