Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce tie the knot in NYC
Fox News' Chanley Painter reports on pop star Taylor Swift and NFL player Travis Kelce getting married at Madison Square Garden.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding guests can't stop spilling details from the couple's star-studded celebration.
The loose-lipped guests have revealed everything from Adam Sandler's marriage advice to the couple as their officiant to Swift's personal touches and emotional moments. Swift and Kelce married on July 3 in front of 1,000 guests at Madison Square Garden, a representative for the pop star told Fox News Digital. The two opted not to have a traditional wedding party, instead choosing to have Swift's brother as her "Man of Honor" and Kelce's brother as his "Best Man."
Swift's rep revealed the couple's wedding ceremony looks were designed by Jonathan Anderson of Christian Dior Haute Couture. The "Life of a Showgirl" singer accessorized with Cartier.
While Swift and Kelce kept much of their wedding under wraps, guests have gradually offered fans a glimpse inside the celebration through interviews and social media posts.

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid shared some of the biggest revelations, calling the wedding "spectacular" and praising Swift for orchestrating the celebration.
"The wedding was spectacular," he told KSL News. "I know how weddings go, it’s normally not the groom doing the planning. So I give Taylor a lot of credit for putting together just a beautiful venue and wedding and so on. Well planned out."
Reid also shared Sandler's memorable marriage advice.
"Adam Sandler did the ceremony there, and he mentioned, ‘Kiss her every chance you have.’ In its own simple way, that’s a pretty good message. Kiss her before bed, kiss her before you go to work. It’s hard to argue when you’re kissing somebody. He even mentioned, if you have a small argument, finish it with a kiss and make sure that you work it out."

Swift and Kelce put a personal stamp on their wedding ceremony by writing their own vows, according to "Good Morning America" anchors who attended the star-studded celebration. Robin Roberts and George Stephanopoulos gushed about the couple's "intimate" secret garden wedding.
"They wrote their own vows," Roberts said.
"In little books!" Stephanopoulos added.
Filmmaker Joseph Kahn offered one of the most detailed firsthand accounts.
"Had a wonderful time at Taylor Swift/Travis Kelce’s wedding last night," he wrote on Instagram. "I got to meet Steven Spielberg and the lovely Kate Capshaw and talk filmmaking with the GOAT (lifelong dream achieved)."

"What I will say about the wedding was it was so much funnier and emotional than expected, and as big as it was, it also felt very intimate," Kahn added. "And yes, literally everyone was there. I told Lotte many times it was like living in the internet, and AI would crack if it tried to render it. Anyway congratulations Taylor and Travis! Wishing your beautiful family and future family endless happiness!"
As guests continued to reveal behind-the-scenes details of the celebration, another closely guarded piece of the wedding also surfaced online: the couple's invitation.

A photo of the invitation was seemingly shared by Ashish Ferguson — the brother of Kelce’s childhood friend and former personal chef, Kumar Ferguson — in a handful of photos from the July 4 weekend. The photo of the invitation has since been deleted, but not before users grabbed a screenshot.
"You’re invited. July 3rd, 2026. Manhattan. Love, Taylor & Travis," the invitation, which was watermarked with Ferguson's name, read.
Commenters were quick to point out his mistake.
"I guess we forgot about the NDA? You sure they wanted their save the date card out there?" one user wrote.
"IS THAT THE INVITATION??? IT'S BEAUTIFUL WTF," another added.
"Did Taylor like her leaks? That's a death sentence," one said.

Reception details also emerged through guests and attendees.
Ashley Smith, sister of Kansas City Chiefs offensive lineman Trey Smith, caught Swift's bouquet. The small bouquet featured Sweet Pea and Queen Anne’s Lace along with light pink flowers.
"Celebrated an Enchanting Love S(T&T)ory And somehow…I ended up catching Tay Tay’s bouquet," Ashley wrote on Instagram. "So here’s to believing it’s bringing a lifetime of love, luck, and laughter my way."
"Congratulations, Taylor & Travis! Cheers to forever T&T!"

Country star Maren Morris shared one of the celebration's personalized keepsakes, posting a photo of a white handkerchief.
"So it's gonna be forever..." was embroidered onto the white fabric, a nod to Swift's 2014 hit single "Blank Space."
Beyond the firsthand social media posts, attendees also shared additional behind-the-scenes details with NBC News, offering a closer look at the couple's reception and entertainment. Guests played games to win raffle tickets, two guests told the outlet. They could use the raffle tickets they won to try to win different prizes — including designer handbags and a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle, similar to the car the two rode in for their first public date in 2023.

Kansas City Chiefs player Drue Tranquill's wife, Jackie, shared a photo of a black Chanel bag with a winning raffle ticket to her Instagram. The pink raffle ticket featured the T&T logo and read "winner."
The raffle quickly became one of the wedding's biggest talking points — even among guests who missed out.
Robert Pattinson joked about missing out on the opportunity to win free stuff due to his work schedule. The "Batman" star's fiancée, Suki Waterhouse, did attend the star-studded wedding.
"They were giving away lots of stuff?" Pattinson said during an interview with Entertainment Tonight on July 6.
"What did I get?" he quipped.

Beyond the interactive games and raffle prizes, guests were treated to an all-star lineup of musical performances. The two anonymous guests confirmed to NBC News that there were performances by Paul McCartney and Stevie Nicks. McCartney played The Beatles' "I Want to Hold Your Hand," according to People.
"After the ceremony, Taylor’s mom Andrea invited everyone into the reception room where the stage was set up," a source told the outlet.

In a since-deleted post viewed by Fox News Digital, AMC Theaters CEO Adam Aron wrote extensively about the wedding, saying, "It did not look like Madison Square Garden."
"Immediately upon entry, everything… floors, walls, ceilings… was draped in peach and white," he wrote. "Large blown up pictures of Taylor and Travis at each age, year by year from one year-old to late teenager-hood, were on display."
He explained that "a small portion of MSG was cordoned off, devoid of any notion that a basketball or hockey game ever shared that space," and "somehow magically, someone created an outdoor garden at a lush countryside retreat. Everything draped off this time in green and white. Real flowers and I think artificial trees welcomed fifteen rows of maybe 75 or so chairs.
"They say there were around one thousand attendees, but surprisingly, it all felt intimate and small. Everything was close."

Aron recounted that "relaxing and mellow romantic songs" were played before the ceremony began, when "a few violins and cello ushered in the wedding party."
According to the CEO, Kelce wore a white tux, while Swift wore "a stunning white wedding dress with a long veiled train."
"Then the vows," he continued. "Long, entertaining, personal, charming, emotional, irreverent and endearing explorations by each as to how they met, why they want to be with each other for all eternity, the promises they made in joining their much-beloved two whole families (Kelce’s and Swift’s) as one, and committing to their new mutual life together."
He also said Swift and Kelce's "profound love" for each other was clear throughout the ceremony. He called their first kiss a "sweep you off your feet kiss."

Beyond the surprise performances, personalized touches and reception festivities, the wedding left a lasting impression on Swift and Kelce's loved ones.
"They cried, and they laughed, and they danced, and they hugged, and they kissed," Swift's Aunt Robin told LBC News.
Even Travis Kelce's mother, Donna Kelce, couldn't hide her excitement about the celebration, though she stopped short of revealing too much.
"I really can’t say a heck of a lot except it was magical, man, magical," she said at Macy's Fourth of July celebration.
