After months of speculation and predictions, American pop star
Taylor Swift married her longtime boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce, at New York Cityโs Madison Square Garden on Friday. A representative from Swiftโs team confirmed the news in a statement to the media.
The statement mentioned that the two were married in a ceremony officiated by comedian
Adam Sandler. The couple had no bridesmaids or groomsmen. Swiftโs brother, Austin Swift, served as her โMan of Honour,โ the representative said, while Kelceโs brother, retired NFL offensive lineman
Jason Kelce, served as Kelceโs best man.
According to Swiftโs representative, her wedding dress was created by Christian Dior Haute Couture. The photographs from the ceremony are yet to be released. Meanwhile, law enforcement sources noted that the couple welcomed around 1,000 guests at Madison Square Garden to celebrate their marriage.
It was not immediately clear if the wedding ceremony occurred at Madison Square Garden, or at some point before. Large black SUVs were seen starting to arrive at the famous venue shortly after 3 pm ET (local time), pulling into white tents set up outside, CBS News reported.
โItโs a love storyโ
Meanwhile, a large crowd of onlookers and fans lined the streets near the arena, donning signs of support and hoping to catch a glimpse of those attending the wedding. Some of the celebrity guests were also spotted arriving at the venue.
This included Hugh Grant, Jason Sudeikis and Ethan Hawke; soccer star Abby Wambach; sports broadcaster Joe Buck; musician Benson Boone, NFL star Cooper Kupp, and Paulina Gretzky, daughter of hockey legend Wayne Gretzky, CBS News reported.
According to the statement, a rehearsal dinner was held at
MSG on Thursday with about 100 family and friends on the guest list. Some of Swiftโs friends, including Lena Dunham and her childhood friend, Abigail Anderson Berard, were spotted arriving for the dinner, USA Today reported.
So far, the details from inside the venue have been hard to come by. However, reporters have been watching for days as a parade of 18-wheelers delivered and unloaded supplies, mostly under wraps.
