Swift, Kelce to hold 2nd MSG event after donating $26M to charity

Music superstar Taylor Swift and NFL star Travis Kelce are officially husband and wife.

The couple wed in a ceremony in New York City officiated by actor and comedian Adam Sandler , a representative for Swift confirmed to ABC News on Friday.

Sandler starred in the 2025 film "Happy Gilmore 2" alongside Kelce, who had a cameo , and has been a guest on Kelce's "New Heights" podcast. He has also spoken about being a huge fan of Swift's, along with this two daughters, telling Conan O'Brien in a 2024 interview of her music, "There's not a word my kids don't know. I know them too, by the way."

Swift's brother, Austin, served as her "man of honor," while Kelce's brother, Jason, served as his best man. They were the only members of the wedding party, according to the rep.

Both the bride and groom wore custom looks by Dior, with the bride wearing a haute couture gown designed by Jonathan Anderson.

Swift and Kelce both worked "in close collaboration" with Anderson on their wedding ceremony looks, according to Swift's representative.

No official wedding photos have been released by the couple, who held a two-day wedding celebration at Madison Square Garden said to include more than 1,000 guests.

The world-famous arena, home to the New York Knicks, recognized Swift and Kelce's marriage Friday with a sign that lit up to read “JUST & T MARRIED,” referencing the couple's first names.

Celebrities including actors Hugh Grant, Ethan Hawke and Jason Sudeikis, singer Benson Boone, soccer legend Abby Wambach and NFL stars Chris Jones and Cooper Kupp were photographed arriving at MSG late Friday afternoon in black-tie attire as a cocktail hour was scheduled to begin.

On Thursday evening, Swift and Kelce held a smaller gathering at the arena for around 100 people, sources familiar with the plans told ABC News . An SUV with tinted windows believed to be transporting Swift was photographed arriving at MSG around 5 p.m. on Thursday.

For both events, a strict no-phone policy was in place for everyone inside the venue, including guests, vendors and security personnel, according to sources.

Representatives for Swift or Kelce did not confirm any details about the events.

Just hours before their event Thursday, a representative for Swift confirmed to ABC News that she and Kelce had donated $26 million to charities both in New York City and across the United States.

The "Shake It Off" singer and Kansas City Chiefs tight end announced their engagement last August in a social media post that included photos of Kelce's flower-filled proposal and a close-up of Swift's old-mine brilliant–cut diamond ring, which ABC News confirmed was custom-designed by Kelce and jeweler Kindred Lubeck of Artifex Fine Jewelry in New York City.

The couple's romance began in the summer of 2023, when Kelce revealed on his "New Heights" podcast that he'd unsuccessfully tried to give Swift a friendship bracelet with his phone number during one of her Eras Tour concerts.

Swift later told TIME she found the gesture "metal as hell," and the two started spending time together soon after.

By November 2023, Kelce confirmed their relationship in an interview with WSJ. Magazine, praising Swift's ability to handle intense public scrutiny.

Swift, meanwhile, revealed in her December 2023 TIME Person of the Year interview that the couple had enjoyed private time together before going public.

"We actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I'm grateful for, because we got to get to know each other," she said at the time.

In an interview on Kelce's "New Heights" podcast last August, Swift described her now-husband as a "human exclamation point."

"He's just a vibe booster in everyone's life that he's in," she said. "He's like a human exclamation point."

Throughout their relationship, the pair have been each other's biggest supporters, with Swift attending Chiefs games, including Super Bowl LVIII and Super Bowl LIX , and Kelce cheering Swift on at numerous Eras Tour stops, even joining her onstage during her London show in June 2024.

Before her final Eras Tour shows last December, Kelce wrote Swift a love letter that she was seen reading aloud in the "The End of an Era" docuseries.

"So many unbelievable memories in this tour, but my favorite was seeing you in concert for the first time, being mesmerized and swept off my feet by a woman who doesn't even know me," Swift reads aloud from Kelce. "I selfishly say thank you for creating this legendary tour and to [tour manager] Robert [Allen] for making you stop through Kansas City, Missouri. That night too in KC was the beginning of me meeting the love of my life."
