Travis Kelce has spoken publicly for the first time about his wedding to Taylor Swift, calling it the “best night of my life”.

Singer Swift and NFL player Kelce, both 36, wed at New York’s Madison Square Garden on 3 July.

More than 1,000 guests attended the event and while many have since posted photos on social media from the night, the newlyweds themselves are yet to share any photos from their big day.

However, Kelce has now broken his silence on the recent nuptials.

Following a practice session with his team the Kansas City Chiefs, the professional American footballer addressed the wedding.

Speaking to reporters, he said: “It was a fun off-season, man.

“Wedding was the best night of my life, and I appreciate everybody who came out and celebrated and had fun with us.”

He went on to call it a “crazy night” that was “full of a lot of celebration”.

The NFL player also shared that it had been his “childhood dream” to go to Madison Square Garden.

“I always told myself I’d go for a play-off game when the [New York] Knicks were rocking,” he said.

“My wife went when I was stuck in training camp. I didn’t get my opportunity to go then.

“So, it’s kind of cool to be able to live out my childhood dream of being in that venue… the mecca of all sports venues.”

He added: “To be able to get married in there… I can’t thank the owners of MSG enough for letting us get the opportunity to do that, knowing that we wanted a private event and everything, it was perfect. The AC was cooking… that was the best part.”

In the nearly six weeks since Swift and Kelce’s wedding, neither has released any official images from the day.

The marriage was officiated by Adam Sandler.

Other guests included Selena Gomez, Ed Sheeran, Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper, Zoe Kravitz, Graham Norton, and Hugh Grant.

Camila Cabello, Jason Sudeikis, Jimmy Fallon, Tom Brady, Chris Rock, Jessica Alba, Steven Spielberg, Eric Stonestreet, Stephen Colbert, Sombr, Kelsea Ballerini, Benson Boone, Tommy Hilfiger, and Miranda Lambert were also among the A-listers.

A billboard outside the venue read “JUST&T MARRIED” after the ceremony took place.

Swift and Kelce’s romance began in 2023 after Kelce publicly announced on his podcast that he was interested in Swift, which she later said was a “wild, romantic gesture”.

Swift and Kelce announced their engagement in a joint Instagram post in August 2025 that read: “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.”
