It is official. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are married. The couple, both 36, tied the knot on Friday evening in a lavish ceremony at New York City’s Madison Square Garden. They closed down one of Manhattan’s busiest corridors for what was easily the celebrity event of the year.
Their longtime publicist, Tree Paine, confirmed the nuptials in a statement and shared several intimate details about the ceremony. It brought together 1,000 of the couple’s closest friends and family members.
Adam Sandler Officiates Star-Studded Wedding
In a surprising twist, actor and comedian Adam Sandler officiated the proceedings. Swift’s team simply described him as a “friend” of the couple.
Sandler’s role made a lot of sense given his connection to them. Kelce appeared alongside the comedy legend in last year’s ‘Happy Gilmore 2,’ and Sandler has also been a guest on the Kelce brothers’ podcast ‘New Heights.‘ On that show, he talked about the relationship and said, “My family was like, ‘Yes! Look how good they are together!’“
Instead of a traditional wedding party with bridesmaids and groomsmen, Swift chose her brother, Austin Swift, to serve as her ‘Man of Honor.‘ Kelce’s brother and former NFL star Jason Kelce stood as his Best Man. This choice really highlighted the close family bonds that have been a big part of their public romance since they started dating in 2023.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s Wedding Fashion
Both the bride and groom wore custom looks from Christian Dior Haute Couture. They were designed by Jonathan Anderson, the creative director of Dior’s Women’s, Men’s, and Haute Couture Collections, who worked closely with the couple. Swift’s publicist noted that this was the designer’s first couture wedding dress for a world-renowned celebrity, which made the moment pretty historic in the fashion world.

The Love Story of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce
This wedding is the culmination of a love story that has fascinated the public since its unlikely beginning in 2023. Kelce had tried and failed to give Swift his number during her Eras Tour concert at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City. He later talked about the missed connection on an episode of ‘New Heights.’ Swift found the gesture “adorable” and “metal as hell,” and told Time magazine that she appreciated Kelce’s “wild romantic gesture.”
The couple spent a lot of time together away from the public eye before Swift became a regular at Kelce’s NFL games. This included a dramatic trip from Tokyo to Las Vegas to watch him win the Super Bowl in 2024. Kelce returned the favor by appearing on stage during Swift’s London Eras Tour performance that same year.
The pair announced their engagement in August 2025 with a joint Instagram post that read, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married!“

Madison Square Garden was completely transformed for the occasion. Massive signs lit up around the complex that read “JUST&T MARRIED,” which was a clever nod to both Taylor and Travis’s names. The Empire State Building was also lit in blue on Friday night in honor of the singer.
Guests started arriving at 3.30 pm, with a cocktail reception following at 4.00 pm. The ceremony itself began at 5.30 pm in the arena’s main hall. Security was extremely tight, with over 130 police officers deployed. Attendees were also reportedly asked to sign non-disclosure agreements.
The guest list was full of big names from entertainment and sports, including Gigi Hadid, Selena Gomez, Hugh Grant, Jason Sudeikis, Ed Sheeran, and Bradley Cooper, among many others.
As the celebrations continue deep into the New York night, one thing is for sure: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have written the final chapter of their blockbuster romance, and it is a love story for the ages.
