Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's star‑studded New York wedding draws 1,000 guests
Taylor Swift and NFL tight end Travis Kelce were married on July 3, 2026 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The ceremony was attended by roughly a thousand guests, including a roster of Hollywood A‑list stars such as Brad Pitt, Scarlett Johansson, Hugh Grant, Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise. A strict no‑phone policy was enforced; phones were collected and placed in a glass case so guests could enjoy the night without device distractions.
ESPN broadcaster Joe Buck, who attended with his wife Michelle Beisner‑Buck, said Kelce became a “puddle” of tears both when his nieces walked down a small ramp and when Swift walked down the aisle. He described the vows as long, well‑written, funny, sweet and emotional, and recalled that Paul McCartney performed “I Want to Hold Your Hand,” his first public rendition of the song since 1964. The couple also made a $2 million donation to Answer the Call and a total of $26 million to various charities, prompting gratitude letters from first‑responder families.
Friends and fellow guests, including supermodel Karlie Kloss, praised the couple as an “amazing” pair, while attendees reported a relaxed atmosphere after the phone collection and a “pinch‑yourself” feeling throughout the celebration.
