It looks like Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce said "I do" this weekend in the middle of Manhattan.
The Asocciated Press reports that Swift and Kelce married at Madison Square Garden on Friday, surrounded by hundreds (or perhaps thousands) of their closest friends, family, and fans. Welcome to New York, indeed.
While preparation for the event was shrouded in secrecy, Swift and Kelce's friends and family could be seen entering the venue in black tie on Friday afternoon. In the evening, digital screens outside the arena said "JUST&T MARRIED" — seemingly, a reference to Taylor and Travis.
Swift's representatives didn't immediately respond to questions from Business Insider about the wedding. Still, the AP reported that Adam Sandler officiated the ceremony, with Swift's brother serving as her man of honor and Kelce's brother Jason serving as his best man.
Here's a rundown of everything we know about Swift and Kelce's nuptials.
The couple reserved Madison Square Garden for three days
In early June, Page Six broke the news that Swift and Kelce were planning to marry at MSG, New York City's most iconic sports and music venue.
According to TMZ, over 1,000 guests were expected to attend the ceremony at MSG. The tabloid also reported that Swift and Kelce paid millions to rent the venue for multiple days. (If true, that shouldn't be much of a problem, as Swift's net worth recently reached $2 billion. Kelce's personal fortune is nothing to sniff at, either.)
The New York Times later corroborated the report, citing an entertainment industry executive who said Swift had rented MSG for July 2 and July 3.
Additionally, City Hall spokesperson Dora Pekec confirmed to CBS News that a permit was filed to close the streets surrounding MSG from July 2 to July 4.
Why get married on the Fourth of July weekend, you may ask?
Swift has a long history of celebrating Independence Day with friends and family; she is known for throwing lavish parties at her Rhode Island mansion to mark the summer holiday.
In 2023, shortly after splitting from Matty Healy, Swift celebrated the Fourth of July with a group of friends, including the Haim sisters and Selena Gomez. She shared photos from the party on July 7, 2023 — the first night on the Eras Tour's stop at Arrowhead Stadium, where Kelce would first lay eyes on Swift.
"Happy belated Independence Day from your local neighborhood independent girlies," Swift wrote in her Instagram caption. "See you tonight Kansas Cityyy."
The couple has reportedly 'transformed' the venue
Swift and Kelce have reportedly hired teams to overhaul MSG's interior. An anonymous source told People magazine, "I've never seen it look so different."
Multiple trucks have been spotted outside the venue in the week leading up to the rumored wedding date. People reports that some equipment boxes were labeled "Mirror Ball" and "Garden Party."
These may be simple shorthand to aid with prep, but they could also be Easter eggs for eager Swifties.
Swift has a song called "Mirrorball" from her 2020 album "Folklore."
As for "Garden Party," that may be a reference to Swift's 2012 deep cut "The Lucky One." The song, rumored to be inspired by Joni Mitchell, tells the story of a mysterious starlet who gave up the spotlight: "They say you bought a bunch of land somewhere / Chose the rose garden over Madison Square."
Could Swift be choosing both the rose garden and Madison Square?
Page Six previously reported that Swift and Kelce are building a castle inside MSG, although People received conflicting reports.
"Not a castle, but it looks very special," a source told People. "They have grass, carpets, and canopies, and it looks like a place where you'd get married. There's a stage set up, but it's special."
The couple wore Dior and Cartier, while guests sported black tie
The couple was dressed in Christian Dior Haute Couture, with shoes custom-made by Christian Louboutin, the AP reported, adding that Swift wore Cartier jewelry.
Swift and Kelce's wedding guests, including Erin Andrews, were seen streaming into the venue in black tie over the weekend.
Kelce's brother was his best man, and Swift's brother was her man of honor
Former NFL player Jason Kelce served as his brother Travis's best man, and Swift's brother Austin served as her man of honor, the AP reported, citing an email from Swift's publicist, Tree Paine.
Austin Swift, Taylor's younger brother by about two years, has a somewhat low profile. He has been credited as a producer on some of Taylor's projects and appeared in photos on the couple's social media pages.
Kelce's teammates have booked hotel rooms in Times Square, according to reports
Citing a source familiar with the accommodations, The New York Times reported that multiple members of the Kansas City Chiefs booked hotel rooms at the Marriott Marquis in Times Square for the Fourth of July weekend.
Stevie Nicks and Tim McGraw were expected to perform at the ceremony
Multiple sources told Rolling Stone that Stevie Nicks planned to attend Swift and Kelce's wedding, with one source saying she's scheduled to perform.
Swift has cited Nicks as one of her biggest musical influences and trusted advisors. For her part, Nicks has repeatedly praised Swift's songwriting and even wrote an introductory poem for Swift's 2024 album, "The Tortured Poets Department."
That same year, Nicks told Rolling Stone that she supports Swift's relationship with Kelce.
"She's in a good place right now, and I think she has a good man," Nicks said. "I hope they fall deeper and deeper in love and ride off into the sunset. He does his thing, and she does her thing, and then they come back together and get married and have babies if she wants that. I just want all of that for her."
According to Page Six, Tim McGraw was also slated to perform at the event.
This would be a full-circle moment for Swift, who released her debut single, "Tim McGraw," 20 years ago.
The Swift-Kelce wedding guest list included many celebrities
People spotted entering the venue included actors Hugh Jackman, Jason Sudeikis, Dakota Johnson, pop star Ed Sheeran, and Swift's friend and producer Jack Antonoff. Singer-songwriter Camila Cabello also posted a fit-check video from a vehicle en route to the ceremony.
Swift is known for having many famous friends, so pals like Gigi Hadid, Ashley Avignone, Lena Dunham, Hayley Williams, Benson Boone, Sombr, Gomez, and the Haim sisters also seem like shoo-ins for the guest list.
The same goes for her childhood friend Abigail Anderson Berard (yes, the Abigail who was name-dropped in two of Swift's songs: "Fifteen" and "Ruin the Friendship").
"I've heard Taylor invited so many people it's going to be bigger than the Met Gala," one industry insider told Page Six.
