Pop superstar Taylor Swift and NFL player Travis Kelce spared no expense for their recent wedding, reportedly paying approximately $160,000 to close several streets in Midtown Manhattan for the celebration. The couple, who tied the knot earlier this month, secured the necessary permits and security measures to ensure privacy and manage the event.
New York City Mayor's office confirmed that Swift covered the costs associated with the permit granted for the wedding. This significant sum ensured that key thoroughfares in the bustling Midtown area, known for landmarks like Times Square and the Empire State Building, were closed to the public on the day of the ceremony.
The wedding took place on July 4th, a date that also marked American Independence Day, adding a layer of public observance to the private event. The closure of streets likely facilitated a more controlled and exclusive atmosphere for the high-profile couple and their guests.
Taylor Swift has already paid the costs of the permit of $160,000 that was given for the event and the reaction to it.
