Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have finally tied the knot on their love story, getting married in front of friends and family at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Friday (July 3). A sign, which MSG shared a photo of on Instagram, outside of the world-famous venue confirmed they had exchanged their vows. “JUST&T MARRIED!” read the black text over pink background.
Swift’s rep also confirmed the happy news in a press release, revealing that the pop superstar and football player wore outfits designed by Christian Dior Haute Couture. The couple did not have traditional bridesmaids or groomsmen, but Swift’s brother Austin was her man of honor, while Jason Kelce was Travis’ best man, the release revealed. Actor-comedian Adam Sandler officiated the nuptials.
The couple’s nuptials come a little less than a year after they announced their engagement following two years of dating. In August 2025, they shared photos on Instagram from the Kansas City Chiefs tight end’s flower-garden proposal — as well as Swift’s massive diamond ring — and wrote adorably, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.”
Fans have since been impatiently awaiting the big day, with speculation over the wedding’s date and location reaching a fever pitch in June as reports started surfacing that Swift and Kelce would use MSG as their venue on Fourth of July weekend. More commotion over the event came with the news that it would coincide with NYC’s most severe heatwave so far this year, with temperatures reaching triple digits on the day they said “I do.”
“If you happen to be getting married at Madison Square Garden, you will be staying inside and you will be staying cool,” Mayor Zohran Mamdani joked at a press conference about the extreme weather days before the wedding. “I think it’s a good example to set for the city at large.”
Swift and Kelce have been together since the summer of 2023. After the football player attended one of her Eras Tour shows in Kansas City that year, he grumbled on his and brother Jason’s New Heights podcast about his failed mission to meet the 14-time Grammy winner backstage, where he’d hoped to give her a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it. The episode caught the attention of Swift’s mom, Andrea, who encouraged her daughter to give Travis a chance.
“I call up my resident expert on Kansas City Chiefs, my cousin Robin, and I go, ‘Tell me about this guy named Travis Kelce,’” Andrea recalled in an episode of Swift’s Eras Tour docuseries on Disney+. “She goes, ‘Oh my god, he’s the nicest guy, and you know what? He really loves his mom.’ And I went, ‘Ding ding ding.’”
Swift and Kelce hard-launched their relationship shortly after that, with the hitmaker attending one of Kansas City’s games to cheer on her then-boyfriend from a box suite. That would be the start of many Arrowhead Stadium visits for Swift, while the football player began attending a series of Eras shows across the globe. During one of her stops in London, he even joined her on stage for a surprise cameo.
“When you say a relationship is public, that means I’m going to see him do what he loves, we’re showing up for each other, other people are there, and we don’t care,” Swift told TIME for her 2023 Person of the Year interview. “The opposite of that is you have to go to an extreme amount of effort to make sure no one knows that you’re seeing someone. And we’re just proud of each other.”
Over the course of their romance, Swift penned a number of songs that are almost definitely about Kelce, including “So High School” and “The Alchemy” from 17-week Billboard 200-topping album The Tortured Poets Department, as well as Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hits “The Fate of Ophelia” and “Opalite” from The Life of a Showgirl. Swift first announced the latter album on New Heights; while she was busy recording the episode, a crew was secretly setting up a romantic proposal scene outside.
Now, as the couple closes out their engagement era and steps into a new chapter as husband and wife, they’re making sure to spread the love. One day before their nuptials, Swift’s rep announced that the pop superstar and Kelce had donated $26 million to a variety of charities located across the United States in cities with special meaning to them, including their hometowns as well as Nashville and Kansas City, where Swift and Kelce respectively began their careers.
