After months of anticipation, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding day has come and gone, but the finer details are still trickling through.
Ever since the couple announced their engagement in August 2025, following nearly two years of countless date nights, Eras Tour appearances and Chiefs games, fans have been trying to piece together every last detail of what would become one of the biggest celebrity weddings in recent memory—an “American royal wedding”, if you will.
Would Swift wear an American designer or a storied European fashion house? Could Madison Square Garden really be transformed into a wedding venue? Which famous faces would make the guest list?
Now, we finally have some answers. Jonathan Anderson designed Swift’s Christian Dior Haute Couture wedding gown (the first celebrity bridal creation of his Dior tenure), while Adam Sandler unexpectedly stepped into the role of officiant. The bridal bouquet has finally been revealed too, although some are confused by its tattered state.
Despite extensive street closures around the venue designed to give the couple a degree of privacy, paparazzi and dedicated Swifties still managed to catch glimpses of the star-studded arrivals, including Zoë Kravitz, Dakota Johnson, Camila Cabello, Ed Sheeran and Karlie Kloss.
Here’s every photo, official update and behind-the-scenes detail to emerge from the wedding weekend so far.

Three days after tying the knot at Madison Square Garden, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding invitation has allegedly resurfaced. One of the couple’s reported 1,000 guests briefly shared a screenshot of the digital invite on Instagram before quickly deleting it.
According to E! News, the invitation was posted on July 6 by Ashish Ferguson, the brother of Kelce’s childhood friend and former personal chef, Kumar Ferguson. The e-card was watermarked with the guest’s name.
“You’re invited. July 3rd, 2026. Manhattan. Love, Taylor & Travis,” the invitation read. “One night only. Early evening. Black tie.”
The design featured what appeared to be a hand-painted watercolour landscape (Taylor’s handywork, perhaps?), depicting a sunset over lush greenery. It also offered a subtle nod to the couple’s reported “garden party” theme, with People reporting that Madison Square Garden had been transformed with “a forest” of real trees for the celebration.
Stevie Nicks & Sir Paul McCartney Performed
The entertainment was every bit as star-studded as the guest list.
Stevie Nicks performed during the reception, while Sir Paul McCartney reportedly treated guests to a rendition of The Beatles classic I Want to Hold Your Hand. Guests dined on an expansive menu featuring Italian favourites, sushi, roaming canapés and multiple open bars throughout the venue.
Appearing on Good Morning America, co-anchor Robin Roberts confirmed Nicks took to the stage but remained tight-lipped about any further details.
Inside The Ceremony
New details have emerged from inside the ceremony, revealing just how dramatically Madison Square Garden was transformed for the occasion.
According to PEOPLE, the iconic arena was reimagined as an enchanted forest, with towering trees and lush ferns surrounding rows of white-covered chairs. Guests watched on as Taylor Swift made her way down a central aisle to a stage, where she and Travis Kelce exchanged vows.
“Taylor walked down a center aisle up to a stage where they said ‘I do,” an insider revealed.
Rather than reading from printed pages, the couple reportedly spoke from matching gold vow books, with each sharing personal vows that lasted around 20 minutes.
Donna Kelce Calls Wedding “Magical”
Travis Kelce’s mum, Donna Kelce, has shared her first public comments since the ceremony while at the Macy’s 50th Fourth of July Celebration in New York City.
Asked about the star-studded celebration, she kept details tightly under wraps, but offered a glowing review of the day.
“I really can’t say a heck of a lot except it was magical, man, magical.”
Her brief remarks are among the first public comments from a close family member following the wedding.
More Celebrity Guests Confirmed
As more guests begin sharing snippets from the celebrations, the wedding’s already staggering guest list continues to grow.
Among the newly confirmed attendees are Reese Witherspoon, Emma Stone, Paul Rudd, Jessica Alba, Tom Hanks, Jennifer Lopez, Mariska Hargitay, Joey King and Liam Hemsworth, joining previously spotted guests including Selena Gomez, Gigi Hadid, Bradley Cooper, Hugh Grant and Ed Sheeran.
Details Emerge About The Ceremony & Taylor Swift’s Dior Dress
After the ceremony, AMC Theatres CEO Adam Aron briefly lifted the veil on Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s closely guarded wedding, sharing — then deleting — a detailed account on X. “It was such a privilege to be THERE,” he wrote, describing Madison Square Garden transformed with peach-and-white drapery, childhood photos of the couple and a garden-inspired ceremony space that “felt intimate and small.”
He praised Swift’s “stunning white wedding dress with a long veiled train” and called the couple’s vows “Long, entertaining, personal, charming, emotional, irreverent and endearing explorations” of their relationship. His now-deleted post remains one of the only firsthand accounts to emerge from the highly secretive celebration.
GMA Host Spills On The “Moving” Vows
Good Morning America host George Stephanopoulos gave the first official statement on what went on during Swift and Kelce’s ceremony — notably touching on the couple’s vows.
“The ceremony was great, moving. Adam Sandler, funny and touching,” he told ABC News.
“Vows, everything you would hope for, real, vulnerable, serious, and silly. Deeply loving. Who knew that a wedding in Madison Square Garden could be so intimate?”
The Wedding Favour Handed Out To Guests
Singer Maren Morris gave fans a glimpse of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding favour on Instagram, revealing the embroidered keepsake handkerchief guests received at the celebration.
The design featured the couple’s monogram, wedding location and date, alongside the lyric, “so it’s gonna be forever” from Swift’s Blank Space. Guests at the intimate rehearsal dinner were reportedly also gifted velvet boxes containing diamond-encrusted champagne flutes.
Guests Share Their Wedding Looks & Reviews
Swift’s country roots rang true for the guest list with Kelsea Ballerini, Maren Morris and Kristian Bush sharing some glamourous pre-wedding snaps of their attire.
Meanwhile, artists Nelly (who famously joined Swift on stage during both her Red tour in 2013 and 1989 tour in 2015) and Ashanti, who was empowered to re-record her own albums by Swift, were both in attendance.
Taking to Instagram, Nelly shared a video leaving the wedding with the caption: “S/O to @taylorswift & @killatrav!! Wedding was incredible.”””
Empire State Building Becomes Taylor’s ‘Something Blue’
In one of the evening’s most striking tributes, the Empire State Building illuminated entirely in blue following the ceremony.
The iconic New York landmark regularly changes colour to mark major cultural moments, and the display served as a symbolic “something blue” for the bride.
JUST&T MARRIED!
As celebrations continued inside, Madison Square Garden’s exterior signage was transformed to read “JUST T&T MARRIED!”
The playful message echoed the personalised “T&T” monogram featured on keepsake boxes distributed during the rehearsal dinner and served as the confirmation fans had been holding out for.
The Bride Wore Dior
Just one photo of the bride in her gown is all we ask for. While we’re still holding out hope to see a glimpse in the days ahead, we did receive the next best thing: confirmation of the designer.
“The bride and groom’s wedding ceremony looks have been created by Christian Dior Haute Couture. They are designed by Jonathan Anderson, Creative Director of Dior Women’s, Men’s and Haute Couture Collections, in close collaboration with the Bride and Groom,” an official statement read.
The details didn’t stop there, the statement adding: “Their shoes were custom made by Christian Louboutin and the bride wore Cartier jewelry.”
A Possible Sombr Performance
Musician, Sombr, shared a clip to social media ahead of the wedding as her got dressed in Kyosuke Kunimoto suit, captioning the video: “feeling gorgeous rn”. At her 2026 Songwriters Hall of Fame ceremony, Swift selected the musician to perform renditions of two of her hit songs. It was a heartfelt moment the was the culmination of a long-running friendship between the duo.
So, if she’s trusting enough to have Sombr perform her hits at such an occasion, could she have placed the same faith in him to perform at the wedding?
Adam Sandler Confirmed As The Couple’s Officient
One of the day’s biggest surprises came after the ceremony concluded, when it was confirmed actor Adam Sandler officiated the wedding — a detail also confirmed by Swift’s publicist, Paine.
“The ceremony joined both families together and was officiated by friend Adam Sandler,” the statement read.
The pair have maintained a friendship for several years, with Kelce previously appearing in Happy Gilmore 2.
Taylor & Travis’ Bridal Party Revealed
Swift’s longtime publicist and friend, Tree Paine confirmed the couple chose not to have a traditional bridal party for their wedding.
In the statement released to People Paine confirmed: ““Taylor & Travis did not have bridesmaids or groomsmen. Instead, her brother Austin Swift served as Taylor’s Man of Honor and Jason Kelce was Travis’ Best Man. The ceremony joined both families together.”
Celebrity Guests Arrive For The Wedding

Lena Dunham’s Rehearsal Dinner Speech
If the rehearsal dinner was meant to set the tone for the wedding weekend, Lena Dunham certainly made sure guests wouldn’t forget it.
