Summary
Hasan Piker called taxpayer-funded security for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s New York wedding a “dramatic misuse of public resources” and “a bad look” in comments posted across his social platforms.
The criticism centered on a roughly $15 million, multi-day event at Madison Square Garden, where media reports said public security costs were borne by taxpayers.
About 1,000 celebrity guests attended the Friday wedding in Manhattan, prompting street closures and crowd-control measures by New York City police and other agencies.
A city permit obtained by the AP showed the ceremony began at 5 p.m. ET, after a 100-person rehearsal dinner Thursday, with the reception scheduled to run until 4 a.m. Saturday.
