Taylor Swift Honeymoons in Montana With Jason and Kylie Kelce After 1,000-Guest Wedding

Q: Will New York taxpayers foot the $160,000 security bill for the lavish Swift-Kelce wedding?

No. Reports indicate the roughly $160,000 policing and street-closure cost tied to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s Madison Square Garden wedding was paid through the event permit process, not left to general taxpayers. The key evidence is a city official’s statement that Swift had already paid the permit cost, described as more than $160,000, covering the city’s response to the event. That response reportedly included more than 130 NYPD personnel, with overtime and crowd-control measures required because of the wedding’s scale and the location above Penn Station. That matters because the wedding prompted unusual security demands: hundreds of guests, major street closures around MSG, and concern about large fan crowds gathering outside. Independent reporting estimated the NYPD deployment alone at over $160,000, including detectives and additional officers assigned to manage the area. There was public concern that New Yorkers might absorb the expense, especially given the city’s broader summer security burden from other major events. But the available reporting on this wedding points the other way: the event permit fee was structured to cover the city’s costs for this specific response. So, based on the reporting now available, the security bill for the Swift-Kelce wedding was not being passed on to New York taxpayers.

Taylor Swift, 36, is spending part of her honeymoon in Montana with new in-laws Jason Kelce, 38, and Kylie Kelce, according to a People-cited insider.
Travis Kelce, 36, was not confirmed to be with them, though a recent source said the newlyweds planned to enjoy a few weeks together before NFL season resumes.
Both couples were reportedly seen in California on Thursday, where Swift and Kelce are believed to be attending JuJu Smith-Schuster’s wedding this weekend.
The Montana trip follows the couple’s July 3 wedding at Madison Square Garden, where streets were shut down and about 1,000 guests attended under heavy NYPD security.
On this week’s "New Heights," Travis said he proposed last August just after Swift appeared on the podcast, a moment he said he will "remember forever."
