Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Are Married: Everything We Know

Where and when did they actually get married?

Madison Square Garden in New York City, on Friday, July 3, 2026. The venue itself confirmed the marriage with a lit-up sign reading "JUST&T MARRIED," a reference to the couple's first names, once the ceremony concluded. Swift and Kelce had gone to real lengths to keep the location and date private beforehand, including digital invitations watermarked with each guest's name and bundled with NDAs barring advance disclosure.

Who officiated, and who stood up for them?

Adam Sandler, described by Swift's representative as a close friend of the couple, officiated the ceremony. Rather than a traditional wedding party, Swift's brother Austin Swift served as her "Man of Honor," while Kelce's brother, retired NFL lineman Jason Kelce, stood as best man. Kelce's four nieces served as flower girls.

How big was the guest list, and who actually showed up?

Around 1,000 guests attended, drawing from a genuine cross-section of music, film, and sports. Reported attendees include Selena Gomez, Julia Roberts, Ed Sheeran, Jack Antonoff, Tom Hanks, Zoë Kravitz, Steven Spielberg, Bradley Cooper, Gigi Hadid, Hugh Grant, Ethan Hawke, and several of Kelce's Kansas City Chiefs teammates. AMC CEO Adam Aron, one of the attendees, described the transformation in a since-deleted post, saying the venue didn't look like Madison Square Garden at all once the ceremony space was fully built out.

What actually happened during the ceremony and reception?

According to two guests who spoke with NBC News, the couple wrote their own vows, with Swift's vows including a bit of singing, and the exchange reportedly moved Kelce to tears more than Swift herself. The reception featured live performances from Paul McCartney and Stevie Nicks, plus a raffle featuring the same model of car the couple took on their first date. At the rehearsal dinner the night before, Swift and Kelce sang their favorite rock song together, though Swift didn't perform at the wedding itself.

What has Travis Kelce said about it since?

Speaking to reporters as he returned to Kansas City Chiefs training camp for his 14th season, Kelce called it plainly: "Wedding was the best night of my life, and I appreciate everybody who came out and celebrated and had fun with us." He also reflected on the personal significance of getting married at Madison Square Garden specifically, calling it "cool" to live out a childhood dream tied to the arena.

How long had they actually been together before this?

Swift and Kelce started dating in September 2023, going public not long after, and became one of the most visible celebrity couples in the world through her Eras Tour and his Chiefs games. They announced their engagement in August 2025 with a joint Instagram post captioned, "Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married," accompanied by photos from Kelce's proposal in a flower garden.

Did the wedding plans change from what was originally reported?

Yes, somewhat. Earlier reports throughout late 2025 and into 2026 suggested the couple might marry at Ocean House in Rhode Island on June 13, a date reportedly significant to Swift given her connection to the number 13. Sources close to the couple had also indicated they wanted something private and "not a spectacle." In the end, the wedding moved to Madison Square Garden and took place a few weeks later than the earlier rumored date, though the emphasis on privacy, achieved through NDAs and a fully transformed venue, held up regardless of the change in location.
