\u201cThe ceremony joined both families together and was officiated by friend Adam Sandler,\u201d the statement said. Both Swift and Kelce wore looks from Christian Dior, designed by Jonathan Anderson. Swift also wore custom Christian Louboutin shoes and jewelry from Cartier.<\/p>\n
The marriage was also announced on a video screen outside Madison Square Garden, where Swift and Kelce were holding a star-studded event on Friday.<\/p>\n
\u201cJUST&T MARRIED,\u201d the sign read.<\/p>\n
During an extreme heat wave, Swift and Kelce hosted two events at the famed Manhattan arena. On Thursday, they invited about 100 guests to attend a rehearsal dinner at the Infosys Theater, a venue inside the Garden, according to an internal police memo with details about the gatherings that was previously reported<\/a> by The New York Times.<\/p>\n Friday\u2019s event was a much grander affair, with around 1,000 invitees, many of them celebrities streaming in from around the world.<\/p>\n The guest list<\/a> spanned worlds of music and sports and beyond \u2014 like the bride and groom themselves \u2014 and included Bradley Cooper<\/a> and Gigi Hadid<\/a>, Selena Gomez, Reese Witherspoon and Dakota Johnson<\/a>. Also in attendance were the actors Hugh Grant, Ethan Hawke, Mariska Hargitay and Jason Sudeikis; musicians including the Chainsmokers<\/a>, Ed Sheeran, Sombr, the Chicks and Benson Boone<\/a>; and National Football League stars like Cooper Kupp and Chris Jones.<\/p>\n Their nuptials were hotly anticipated for months, from tabloid speculations about dates and venues to prediction markets taking bets on the details of the big day. The event, a union of two superstars in their respective fields \u2014 music and sports \u2014 was hailed by some fans as a kind of American royal wedding.<\/p>\n The couple\u2019s relationship began with a missed connection in 2023, after Kelce tried and failed to give Swift his number at an Eras Tour concert stop at his home turf, Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo. He later lamented his failed effort to reach Swift in an episode of \u201cNew Heights,\u201d the podcast he hosts with his brother, the retired professional football player Jason Kelce.<\/p>\n Swift became a regular and highly photographed fixture on the N.F.L. circuit.Credit…Doug Mills\/The New York Times<\/p>\n It caught Swift\u2019s attention, and she found it adorable and \u201cmetal as hell\u201d that Kelce had called her out in that July episode, she told Time magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n In a later interview<\/a> on \u201cNew Heights,\u201d Swift described Kelce as having thrown a \u201cman-tantrum\u201d when the initial meet cute didn\u2019t work out. \u201cIt was such a wild romantic gesture to just be like, \u2018I want to date you,\u2019\u201d she added.<\/p>\n The singer and the athlete began hanging out soon after Kelce\u2019s \u201cman-tantrum,\u201d away from the public spotlight.<\/p>\n \u201cSo we actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew,\u201d Swift told Time magazine about the relationship, \u201cwhich I\u2019m grateful for, because we got to get to know each other.\u201d She added, \u201cBy the time I went to that first game, we were a couple.\u201d<\/p>\n Swift became a regular and highly photographed fixture on the N.F.L. circuit, including when she made a hasty trip from Tokyo, where she was performing on the Eras Tour, to Las Vegas to watch Kelce and his teammates win the Super Bowl in 2024<\/a>. Kelce, in turn, made an appearance onstage in June that year during a London stop on Swift\u2019s tour, donning a top hat for a Vaudevillian number during the \u201cTortured Poets Department\u201d set of the show. (Some fans have speculated that several tracks on that album are about Kelce, including \u201cThe Alchemy,\u201d a love song peppered with football references.)<\/p>\n The pair announced their engagement<\/a> last August on Instagram with a series of photos captioned, \u201cYour English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,\u201d with a firecracker emoji. (Or, put in Swiftie sleuth parlance, an emoji of TNT, for trinitrotoluene, or Taylor \u2018n\u2019 Travis \u2014 get it?) The post also included a snippet of the song \u201cSo High School,\u201d another track from \u201cThe Tortured Poets Department,\u201d which fans believe is about Kelce.<\/p>\n In the photos, Kelce is on bended knee before Swift under an elaborate floral arch. Both are wearing clothing by Ralph Lauren. On Swift\u2019s finger is what appears to be a bezel-set diamond<\/a> on a yellow gold band.<\/p>\n The engagement ring, designed by Kindred Lubeck of Artifex Fine Jewelry in New York, features a stone estimated to be between seven and nine carats and could have cost anywhere from $250,000 to $500,000, Ann Grimmett, the vice president for merchandising at Jared Jewelers, told The New York Times<\/a>. Swift said<\/a> on the British radio show \u201cHeart Breakfast\u201d that she had sent a video of Lubeck\u2019s work to Kelce over a year before he proposed. She was touched that Kelce had been paying close attention.<\/p>\n The photos set off a frenzy online, as fans speculated wildly<\/a> about what the couple\u2019s wedding might look like, parsing old interviews with Kelce and even Swift\u2019s song lyrics for clues.<\/p>\n \u201cI actually don\u2019t know people who have gotten married in the fall,\u201d Kelce said<\/a> in a 2025 episode of \u201cNew Heights. \u201cAll the weddings I\u2019ve been to, and all my friends do it in the summer.\u201d In a different episode, he told Jimmy Fallon the couple were \u201clive music people.\u201d <\/p>\n Rumors initially swirled that the couple would wed in Rhode Island, where Swift owns a home in the Watch Hill neighborhood of Westerly, known as Holiday House, which she purchased in 2013 for $17.75 million in a reported<\/a> all-cash deal.<\/p>\n The mansion is heavily featured in Swift\u2019s song \u201cThe Last Great American Dynasty,\u201d which tells the story of the home\u2019s original owner, the oil heiress Rebekah Harkness. Swift has also been known to throw celebrity-filled parties<\/a> at the estate, particularly to celebrate the Fourth of July.<\/p>\n
