Jason Kelce Calls July 3 Swift-Kelce Wedding Great, Says He Drank More Than 15 Beers

Q: From Paul McCartney to a classic car raffle, what surprises defined the year's most exclusive reception?

The reception’s standout surprises were a rare Paul McCartney performance and an elaborate prize raffle capped by a classic 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle. At the Madison Square Garden celebration, McCartney reportedly performed “I Want to Hold Your Hand,” a notable choice because it had not been played live by him in roughly 60 years. Stevie Nicks was also said to have performed, adding to the reception’s unusually high-profile music lineup. The party also leaned into interactive spectacle. Guests earned raffle tickets through games including skee-ball, mini-golf and a football-themed ring toss, then competed for luxury prizes. Alongside designer Chanel and Dior handbags and Cartier watches, the headline item was the vintage Chevelle, turning the reception into something closer to a celebrity carnival than a standard wedding after-party. Other unexpected touches reinforced the event’s exclusivity. Adam Sandler reportedly officiated the ceremony, and the arena itself was transformed into a garden-like, fairytale setting under intense secrecy, with locked phone storage, draped windows, NDAs and tightly controlled guest transport. Taken together, the reception was defined by a mix of old-school star power, playful extravagance and military-level privacy—features that helped make Swift and Kelce’s wedding the year’s most talked-about celebration.

July 9 in Nevada, Jason Kelce gave one of the first firsthand comments on Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s July 3 wedding, calling the Madison Square Garden celebration a “good time” and “great.”
Fans at the American Century Championship also got one more detail: when asked if he had 15 beers at the festivities, Jason laughed that it was “way more.”
Jason, 38, served as Travis’ best man while Austin Swift was Taylor’s man of honor, but he stressed before the wedding that further details were “not our information to share.”
The remarks fit Jason and Kylie Kelce’s long-running public support for the couple, with Jason saying in June he was “very happy for both of them” and eager to celebrate.
