Summary

  • $26 million in donations to more than a dozen groups emerged as a central detail of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s July 3 wedding at Madison Square Garden, according to new accounts from guests and aides.
  • Eric Stonestreet said the arena setting gave the couple and invitees unusual privacy and normalcy, with security allowing them to celebrate safely despite the scale of the venue.
  • New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani said Swift paid $160,000 for the permit covering police supervision, after street closures and crowd-control measures drew some criticism.
  • Adam Sandler officiated the ceremony, Tree Paine said, while Austin Swift served as man of honor and Jason Kelce as best man; the couple wore custom Dior by Jonathan Anderson.
  • The guest list included Selena Gomez, Ed Sheeran and Bradley Cooper, but Swift and Kelce still have not publicly released wedding photos.
