Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce get married at MSG! Start star-studded wedding celebration
Published in Entertainment News
NEW YORK — In a marriage for the ages — and certainly for the tabloids — Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce tied the knot at Madison Square Garden Friday evening.
“JUST&T MARRIED!” a jumbo electronic billboard blared in black letters on a bright pink background on Seventh Avenue outside Madison Square Garden around 7:30 p.m.
Despite the typo, it had finally happened. After months of swirling rumors, speculation and drama about when and where they would take their vows, the popular power couple finally got hitched.
Only about an hour earlier, the famed “Cruel Summer” singer’s trademark silver Chevrolet Suburban had been spotted arriving at the Midtown arena.
Shortly after 7 p.m., the Empire State Building announced it would be lighting its spire a “light blue sparkle color” to fete Swift’s wedding.
Earlier in the afternoon, stars from myriad media and generations were seen en route to or outside of The World’s Most Famous Arena, where the lovers, 36, were believed to be tying the knot Friday in front of up to 1,200 guests. However, it’s also thought they may just be rejoicing in honor of recent, understated and private nuptials.
Among the most notable seen dolled up and going to the Garden earlier on were Swift’s longtime friends, like the Haim sisters, Lena Dunham, Mariska Hargitay and husband Peter Hermann, as well as Gigi Hadid and beau Bradley Cooper, People reports. Zoë Kravitz, newly engaged to Swift’s ex Harry Styles, was also photographed, as were Karlie Kloss and husband Josh Kushner.
Jason Sudeikis, Ethan Hawke and the latter’s wife Ryan, as well as Hugh Grant and wife Anna Aberstein, were also among the famous faces going to the event. Abigail Anderson, known to Swifties as the pop star’s longtime best friend, was seen Thursday ahead of a reported rehearsal “celebration,” as well as Friday.
In addition to Stevie Nicks and Paul McCartney both reportedly performing with the Grammy-winning bride, there were a slew of musicians seen Friday — or posting about their prep for the festivities — including Jack Antonoff, with whom Swift has often collaborated since her hit 2014 album, “1989,” The Chicks, Ellie Goulding, Sombr, the Chainsmokers’ Alex Pall and Drew Taggart.
Other hitmakers included Benson Boone, Camilla Cabello, Swift’s longtime friend and occasional collaborator Ed Sheeran and his wife Cherry Seaborn, along with Rascal Flatts’ Joe Don Rooney and his wife Jenny Hecht.
Around 5 p.m. Friday, Emma Bunton aka Baby Spice, who Swift has called a childhood idol of hers, was seen arriving in a black car while sporting big dark sunglasses. Some in the crowd mistakenly shouted, “It’s Kate Moss!” as the former Spice Girl ignored them.
Authors Jenny Han — whose “The Summer I Turned Pretty” was adapted for a hit Amazon show that uses Swift’s music — and Glennon Doyle were also photographed, the latter holding hands with wife Abby Wambach, formerly of the U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team.
Those from Kelce’s world who were spotted include Chiefs coach Andy Reid and sportscasters Erin Andrews, Joe Buck and Charissa Thompson, as well as — perhaps more intriguingly — New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel and his wife Jennifer.
Vrabel has made headlines in recent months over the nature of his relationship with The Athletic’s former NFL reporter Dianna Russini, after eyebrow-raising photographs surfaced of the pair together over many years.
Selena Gomez, Dunham, Antonoff, Adam Sandler, Cooper and Anderson were all among those seen Thursday ahead of what was said to be a rehearsal dinner.
Regardless of the cause for celebration, an estimated 200 New York Police officers have been assigned to the arena, the perimeter of which is closed down through Saturday afternoon.
