Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Officially Marry in New York City
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were married in a ceremony held at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Friday, July 3, 2026. The couple’s nuptials were confirmed shortly after 7:30 p.m. ET by a “JUST&T MARRIED!” sign displayed on a video screen outside the iconic venue.
Ceremony Details
Swift’s publicist, Tree Paine, confirmed that the wedding was officiated by Adam Sandler. The couple opted for a more intimate approach, with no bridesmaids or groomsmen present. Instead, Taylor Swift’s brother, Austin Swift, served as her man of honor, while Jason Kelce took on the role of best man for Travis Kelce.
Taylor Swift wore a custom haute couture gown designed by Jonathan Anderson of Christian Dior, marking the first time Anderson has created a wedding dress for a celebrity of her stature. Travis Kelce also donned a couture outfit by Anderson. Both the bride and groom chose Christian Louboutin shoes, with Swift accessorizing her look with Cartier jewelry.
Pre-Wedding Celebrations
The wedding festivities included a rehearsal dinner attended by approximately 100 guests at the Infosys Theater within Madison Square Garden. Notable attendees included Selena Gomez, Jack Antonoff, and Bradley Cooper. Speculation arose regarding potential concert performances during the reception, fueled by video waivers signed by guests. Photos shared on social media showed attendees leaving the dinner with monogrammed gifts.
The wedding ceremony commenced at 5 p.m. ET, with the reception scheduled to continue until 4 a.m. ET the following morning, as detailed in a city permit obtained by law enforcement.
Celebrity Guests
Numerous celebrities were spotted arriving at Madison Square Garden for the event. Among them were Ed Sheeran, Jessica Chastain, Dakota Johnson, and many others. While some guests arrived openly, others were shielded from public view as black cars entered a large white tent set up for the occasion.
In the days leading up to the wedding, Swift’s team maintained a low profile regarding the event. However, they did announce that the couple had made $26 million in charitable donations to various organizations across the country.
Security Measures
Security measures surrounding the event were extensive. Ahead of the rehearsal dinner, a white tent was erected at the VIP entrance, and police officers were stationed around the venue. Snipers were positioned atop Madison Square Garden, and surveillance helicopters monitored the area. Streets surrounding the venue were closed to both vehicle and pedestrian traffic.
Despite the heat wave affecting New York City, fans of Taylor Swift gathered outside the venue, eager to catch a glimpse of the festivities. The crowd reportedly cheered when actor Hugh Grant passed by.
Wedding Planning and Privacy
Swift collaborated with wedding planner Mark Seed, known for organizing high-profile events, including Jack Antonoff’s wedding. Guests at the ceremony were required to sign non-disclosure agreements, and the use of phones was prohibited.
The couple announced their engagement on Instagram less than a year prior, showcasing a heartfelt moment where Kelce proposed in a rose garden. The engagement post humorously noted, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,” alongside images of Swift’s impressive diamond ring.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s relationship became public in late summer 2023, following Kelce’s mention of Swift on his podcast, “New Heights.” The couple confirmed their relationship a few months later, with Swift attending Kelce’s games, including his Super Bowl victory in 2024.
