Taylor Swift, Kelce wed in New York with global stars present

Pop superstar Taylor Swift and NFL star Travis Kelce have officially tied the knot in New York City, culminating in a lavish wedding that attracted a constellation of A-list celebrities. The union has captured intense global fascination, dubbed by some as America's "royal wedding."

Taylor and Travis did not have bridesmaids or groomsmen. Instead, her brother Austin Swift served as Taylor’s Man of Honor and Jason Kelce was Travis’s Best Man.

The ceremony took place over the United States' 250th birthday weekend, amidst a record-breaking heatwave and under a near-total news blackout, with guests reportedly signing non-disclosure agreements. The secretive nature of the event only amplified the anticipation surrounding the nuptials, which were rumored to be held at the iconic Madison Square Garden.

Swift's longtime publicist, Tree Paine, confirmed the marriage late Friday, providing select details about the intimate ceremony. Notably, the couple eschewed traditional bridesmaids and groomsmen. Swift's brother, Austin Swift, served as her Man of Honor, while Travis's brother, Jason Kelce, was the Best Man. Friend Adam Sandler officiated the ceremony, joining the two families together.

Christian Dior Haute Couture designed the wedding attire, with custom shoes by Christian Louboutin and Cartier jewelry adorning Swift. Outside Madison Square Garden, a giant screen displayed "JUST&T MARRIED!" – a nod to the newlyweds. Despite the secrecy, fans known as "Swifties" gathered outside the venue, singing Swift's songs. However, heavy rain and a severe thunderstorm warning disrupted some of the outdoor festivities on Friday night.

I grew up with her music and I’m really excited to get to be in New York today for her wedding day.
