NEED TO KNOW
- Multiple musical performances at Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce’s wedding have now been confirmed including Paul McCartney and Stevie Nicks
- An impromptu performance by officient Adam Sandler is also said to have taken place
- Taylor Swift reportedly sang parts of her vows to Travis Kelce as part of the ceremony
If there’s one thing Taylor Swift knows how to deliver, it’s a show — and her wedding to Travis Kelce was no exception.
Kelce all but confirmed live music was on the cards back in September 2025, telling New Heights guest host Jimmy Fallon that he and Swift were “live music kind of people.”
Ahead of the big day, reports circulated that Stevie Nicks was expected to take the mic, with Paul McCartney and Tim McGraw (who Swift famously named a single after) also tipped to perform.
Meanwhile, Swift had already dropped a hint that good friend Ed Sheeran would be part of the entertainment lineup. Then, there were whispers of a piano being wheeled into Madison Square Garden — sparking Swiftie theories about a surprise performance from the bride herself. So, who actually ended up taking the stage? Here’s every confirmed performer, so far.
Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce’s Wedding Performers
Paul McCartney Performed I Want To Hold Your Hand For The First Time In 60 Years
If there was one performance that instantly cemented Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding as music history, it was Sir Paul McCartney’s surprise appearance.
According to PEOPLE, McCartney took to the stage during the reception to perform the Beatles classic I Want to Hold Your Hand after Taylor’s mother, Andrea Swift, invited guests into the reception space where a stage had already been prepared.
“After the ceremony, Taylor’s mom Andrea invited everyone into the reception room where the stage was set up,” the source revealed.
The moment carried even greater significance because, per The Guardian, it marked the first time McCartney had performed the song live in approximately 60 years. The Beatles last played the track in September 1964 during a performance at New York’s Paramount Theatre, and McCartney had never performed it publicly since.
McCartney and Swift have shared a longstanding friendship, famously appearing together on the cover of Rolling Stone in 2020, where they discussed songwriting, fame and their creative process.
Stevie Nicks Delivered A Surprise Reception Performance
Another legendary performer reportedly enlisted for the evening was Stevie Nicks.
Appearing on Good Morning America, co-anchor Robin Roberts, who attended the wedding, confirmed Nicks took to the stage but remained tight-lipped about any further details.
While her setlist remains tightly under wraps, multiple outlets, including The Guardian, confirmed the Fleetwood Mac icon took to the stage alongside Paul McCartney during the reception.
The appearance feels especially meaningful given the pair’s decades-long friendship. Swift has frequently cited Nicks as one of her greatest musical inspirations, the pair famously performed together at the 2010 Grammy Awards, and Nicks has repeatedly championed Swift throughout her career, once calling her “the poetic songwriter of our time.”
Taylor Swift Sang Parts Of Her Wedding Vows
Perhaps the most emotional musical moment of the evening came not from a guest performer, but from the bride herself — and, hoenestly, did we expect any less?
According to Entertainment Weekly, guests revealed that both Swift and Kelce wrote their own vows, each lasting around 20 minutes, with Swift choosing to sing portions of hers during the ceremony.
The couple reportedly read their vows from matching gold books, adding another highly personal touch to what guests have described as an incredibly intimate ceremony despite its extraordinary scale.
Adam Sandler Embodied The Wedding Singer
Although he wasn’t booked as one of the night’s headline performers, Adam Sandler reportedly contributed one of the ceremony’s most memorable musical moments.
The actor and comedian, who officiated the wedding, is reported to have performed an original song written especially for Swift and Kelce during the ceremony.
Per an official statement from Swift’s rep, Tree Paine, Sandler was personally chosen to officiate after becoming close with the couple through Happy Gilmore 2, in which Kelce made a cameo appearance.
The lyrics to Sandler’s original song haven’t yet been made public, and with the wedding’s strict no-phone policy, it’s possible they never will be.
Late Night Karaoke With Sabrina Carpenter, Ciara & More
With so much musical talent in one room a sing-along was inevitable, right?
According to popular celebrity gossip site Deuxmoi, “the Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce wedding celebration allegedly featured late night karaoke with Ciara, Sabrina Carpenter, Kesha, The Chainsmokers, Avril Lavigne, and Tate McRae.”
