Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding took place at Madison Square Garden on Friday (July 3) after a smaller "pre-party" took place on Thursday.
As well as inviting close friends and family to their special day, the pop star and NFL player invited a slew of celebrities to celebrate with them.
The newlyweds wore Christian Dior down the aisle, according to Swift's publicist, and decided not to have bridesmaids and groomsmen, as Adam Sandler officiated proceedings.
Around 7:30PM local time on Friday, LED signs outside the venue even displayed text that read “JUST&T MARRIED!”
The public announcement even prompted the White House to post a spoof announcement of their own, while Midtown Manhattan came to a standstill for the couple, for one of the events of the year.
But two big names who were noticeably absent from their festivities were Blake Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds.
Lively and Reynolds, once one of Hollywood's sweetheart couples, have run into controversy in recent times, thanks to the former's legal battle with her It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni.
It has been 18 months since the actress chose to sue her former co-star, alleging sexual harassment and a ‘retaliation campaign’ against her.
They would eventually agree to an out-of-court settlement, but Lively is still demanding millions from Baldoni's team in settlement payments.
Swift, who was mentioned in court documents, has since seemingly distanced herself from the couple, despite being pictured with Lively at Super Bowl LVIII in 2024.
A source told Page Six: “Taylor’s in a different place now and she just wants to be around people she trusts and who bring her peace,
“It’s a shame because she and Blake really were close, but she doesn’t think it’s something that’s going to be fixed. As far as [Taylor’s] concerned, their friendship is done.”
In fact, the publication confirmed that the couple weren't invited to Swift's wedding back in June, with a source explaining: “There was a point where Taylor thought she and Blake would get past all of this,
“She didn’t expect things to end up like this. At first she figured once everything settled down, they’d be fine.
“But then more stuff kept happening and it just got harder to come back from,” they explained.
The source went on: “It wasn’t one big thing, it was everything adding up.
“By the time Taylor was making decisions about the wedding and who she wanted there, she realized she just didn’t want that kind of energy around something so important and it really was a turning point for her.”
Lively and Reynolds were instead pictured in Lake Placid, New York, on the same day, supporting their daughter Betty as she competed in a horse show, per TMZ.

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds were notably absent from Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's lavish wedding celebrations this week, fueling fresh speculation about the reported rift between the former friends.
While A-list guests gathered at Madison Square Garden in New York City for the couple's glamorous rehearsal dinner on Thursday evening, Lively, 38, and Reynolds, 49, were reportedly several hours away, while supporting their six-year-old daughter, Betty, at a horse show in Lake Placid, New York.
Photos obtained by TMZ showed the couple dressed casually as they attended the event.
Their absence has sparked renewed rumours that Swift, 36, has distanced herself from Lively following the actress's legal dispute with Justin Baldoni.
Swift is famously the godmother to Lively and Reynolds' three daughters, James, Inez and Betty, making the reported omission all the more noticeable.
As celebrity guests, including Selena Gomez, Gigi Hadid, and Jack Antonoff, arrived at Madison Square Garden for the celebration, sources suggested Lively's absence would be difficult to overlook.
One insider previously told the Daily Mail: "Madison Square Garden holds more than 20,000 people. If Blake isn't there, nobody can blame a lack of space."
The source continued: "The guest list is so massive that Blake's absence becomes impossible to ignore. People will notice immediately."
They added: "Taylor could invite practically everyone she's ever known. That's why Blake not getting an invite would speak volumes."
According to the insider, "This isn't about logistics or capacity. If Blake is left off the list, it's personal."
They also claimed: "The bigger the wedding gets, the worse this looks for Blake."
Another source said: "There will be movie stars, athletes, politicians, and music royalty in that arena.
"When Blake isn't among them, that becomes one of the biggest stories of the night, and Taylor knows it."
Since the well-documented feud between Baldoni and Lively, reports have suggested Swift has stepped back from her longtime friendship with Lively, while Kelce reportedly unfollowed Reynolds on Instagram.
Despite the speculation, neither Swift nor Lively has publicly addressed the status of their friendship.
Swift and Lively had been close friends for around a decade, frequently celebrating milestones together, with the singer even referencing Lively and Reynolds' children in her music.
Meanwhile, Swift and Kelce kicked off their wedding celebrations in spectacular fashion at Madison Square Garden, where Selena Gomez, Gigi Hadid, Bradley Cooper and other celebrity guests were seen arriving for the exclusive rehearsal dinner ahead of the couple's main celebration on Friday.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce finally made it official in a huge wedding ceremony at Madison Square Garden on Friday night (July 3).
Arguably the biggest pop star in the world tied the knot with the NFL star in a ceremony littered with celebrity guests, with comedian Adam Sandler officiating.
The newlyweds wore Christian Dior, according to Swift's publicist, and decided not to have bridesmaids and groomsmen.
Instead, Swift's brother Austin Swift served as her man of honor, while Kelce chose his brother, former NFL star Jason Kelce, to be his best man.
Around 7:30PM local time on Friday, LED signs outside the venue displayed text that read “JUST&T MARRIED!”
The “T&T” part represents their first initials, which were also on guest merchandise for the event.
Roads in the area were shut for one of the biggest celebrity events of the century, as Manhattan came to a standstill for the stars.
Speaking to The Independent, Swift's representative Tree Paine said: “The bride and groom’s wedding ceremony looks have been created by Christian Dior Haute Couture.
“They are designed by Jonathan Anderson, Creative Director of Dior Women’s, Men’s and Haute Couture Collections, in close collaboration with the Bride and Groom.
“This is the designer's first couture wedding dress for a world-renowned celebrity. Their shoes were custom-made by Christian Louboutin and the bride wore Cartier jewelry,” the statement read.
Unsurprisingly, a number of blacked-out SUVs were deployed to allow guests to shield themselves from any photographers or fans waiting to get a glimpse.
Streets in Midtown Manhattan were closed in preparation, as crews at the arena set up curtains and gazebos for the celebration.
Some of the celebs spotted around the venue include actors Hugh Grant and Jason Sudeikis, singer Benson Boone, and model Gigi Hadid, who wore a sparkly pink dress.
Actress Dakota Johnson was also pictured, while numerous members of Kelce's football team could be seen, though they arrived at the wedding in plain view while many other guests chose to exit under the enormous tent erected for privacy reasons.
TV presenter Graham Norton, who was famously invited to the wedding when Swift was a guest on his talk show, was also seen arriving at the wedding.
Fans huddled outside the venue on Friday, with many wearing concert merch while belting out Swift tunes, as others climbed scaffolding in an attempt to get a better view of celebrations.
The wedding celebrations began on Thursday (July 2) in a far smaller event, with a reported 100 people believed to have been present.
A permit with New York officials has been made public, calling the event a "pre-party."
The following day, a far larger event was held, with police presence on the heavier side while temperatures reached 37C (98.6F) in New York.
The NYPD closed streets off to vehicles and pedestrian traffic around the arena around midday.
Despite the curtains and tents put up to shield guests from paparazzi and fans, many managed to get snaps of celebrity guests arriving at the arena.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce tied the knot this week, celebrating with a lavish event at Madison Square Garden in New York.
The couple shut down some of the busiest roads in Manhattan and took over at the city's most iconic venue to celebrate their marriage on Friday (3 July).
Swift and Kelce walked down the aisle in outfits designed by Christian Dior, after months of rumors surrounding their special day.
Fans were only given glimpses into the star-studded event in Midtown Manhattan, as a large tent was erected in front of the arena, allowing guests to arrive in a private setting.
Contrary to images of Taylor Swift in a wedding dress circulating online, which have since been revealed to be AI, no official wedding photos have been released of the bride and groom.
But for the first time, some of the names on the guest list have been revealed.
The A-list couple was joined by close friends, family and fellow celebs at the iconic New York venue.
While the full list has not been released, a number of big names were spotted arriving at MSG to celebrate one of the biggest events of the year.
Despite several big names being rumored, the actual list included the likes of the following, as reported by Page Six:
It was also since been reported that talk show host Graham Norton, actor Jason Sudeikis and singer Benson Boone were in attendance.
Most of the guests partied with the newlyweds until the early hours of the morning, hours after LED signs outside the venue displayed text that read “JUST&T MARRIED!”
There were no bridesmaids and groomsmen, with the couple deciding to have one person each.
Swift's brother Austin Swift served as her man of honor, while Kelce chose his brother, former NFL star Jason Kelce, to be his best man.
Speaking to The Independent, Swift's representative Tree Paine said: “The bride and groom’s wedding ceremony looks have been created by Christian Dior Haute Couture.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are set to tie the knot in a massive ceremony at a colossal venue in the next week or so, but some big names have been left off the invite list.
The ultimate celebrity couple's wedding will be the talk of the town when it takes place, with attention already being brought to the guest list and even the rules.
One wedding guest has already shared that the A-list couple does not want gifts from guests, but there's still a lot more that isn't known by the public before the wedding takes place at Madison Square Garden in New York, fit for around 1,000 guests.
Names such as Selena Gomez and husband Benny Blanco, as well as Cara Delevingne and Ed Sheeran have been floated around as rumored star-studded guests at the event.
Queer Eye star Antoni Porowski, a friend of Swift's, was also said to have been invited, though when asked about it, he said: “They’re getting married? Wow, I should really send some flowers or some kind of a congratulation.”
But what about those who weren't invited?
It has only been reported by publications so far, but it is believed that a number of big names will miss out on one of the celebrity weddings of the decade.
Here are the six names that are rumored to have made the no-invite list.
Page Six reports that the actress has not been invited to her former bestie's wedding, just two years on from their antics at the Super Bowl together.
The outlet added: “There hasn’t been an olive branch when it comes to their friendship,” an insider said.
“And Taylor hasn’t extended a wedding invitation to Blake.”
The Taylor Swift superfan has been left off the guest list, as she was asked if she was invited by ET.
“No, of course not. Me? No. She’d be smart not to invite me, honestly,” she admitted.
Glaser went on: “I look forward to the grainy helicopter pictures that I see of it eventually, but that’s all I should get.”
Swift was known to be good friends with Miles and Keleigh Teller in the past, but it looks like they have been overlooked for her wedding.
Page Six has claimed that they did not make the guest list, with the reasoning unclear.
According to TMZ sources, the friends had grown apart "due to differences in their lifestyles," but the explanation behind this is being kept under wraps.
Maisie Peters, 25, is a singer who served as the opening act for Swift's Eras Tour in August 2024 at Wembley Stadium in London.
The artist, known for the 2017 tune Place We Were Made, revealed that she was not invited to the wedding during an appearance on the Zach Sang Show.
When asked about the wedding, she revealed: “I’ve not received a sourdough loaf or a wedding invite, I think that’s OK.”
The Swiftie admitted in December that he was also snubbed, telling People: “No, I didn’t get an invite to the wedding. I ain’t expect one. You know what I’m saying? The whole nine.
"But they know they got my blessings and if she invites me, you dig? All right. I’m going. King Swiftie going to be at the wedding.”
He may have been handed an invitation since then, but this has not been confirmed.

Ryan Reynolds has trolled Taylor Swift and Blake Lively by editing a photo of the pair and replacing their faces with himself and Travis Kelce.
There aren't many friendship groups that can claim to be as iconic as Reynolds, Lively, Swift, and Kelce, especially when they go on double dates together.
It would seem that the two couples aren't afraid to poke fun at each other either - though we should know that about Reynolds and Lively already.
Lively and Swift were photographed together at Beyoncé’s Renaissance movie premiere in London last Thursday, where the Gossip Girl alum had her hand on the thigh of the 'Cruel Summer' songstress, who dazzled in a silver Balmain gown with a thigh-high slit.
Reynolds saw this image and evidently decided that it needed jazzing up a little bit, so he showcased his photo editing expertise to the world.
"I feel like I should remember this," Reynolds captioned the edited picture on Instagram, which now featured his face edited over Lively's, and Kelce's over Swift's.
As per Page Six, Swift and Kelce reunited in Kansas City, Missouri, on Friday, sporting what fans speculate were matching Christmas sweaters at a festive bar called Miracle on Main Street.
The two were joined by Kelce's Kansas City Chiefs teammate Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany Mahomes. The Super Bowl champions later jetted off to Wisconsin for their game against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.
Prior to the game, the Packers' head coach Matt LaFleur was questioned about Swift attending, to which he replied: "It is what it is. It comes with it I guess. Is she supposed to be here? That’s what I’ve heard. So we’ll see."
Swift did attend the game, and sadly for her, she watched Kelce and the Chiefs suffer a 27-19 defeat at the hands of the Packers.
In October, she brought Reynolds and Lively along to Kelce's game against the New York Jets, where they were spotted arriving at the stadium with Hugh Jackman and Sabrina Carpenter. The group then headed to a VIP box, where they enthusiastically cheered for the football star.
Despite the public show of affection, not everyone is convinced that Swift and Kelce are actually loved up, as the former UFC star Paige VanZant explained.
During an episode of her podcast Paige and Austin, the former professional mixed martial artist made some bold claims, stating that she thinks that the 33-year-old singer and the 34-year-old NFL star are in a relationship that is "100 percent fake."
"I think that the Taylor Swift-Travis Kelce 'love story' - I believe it’s 100 percent fake," she said on the show. "Come for me, Swifties. I have UFC fans coming for me, I think I can handle the Swifties."
She continued, explaining the reasons behind her conclusion.
"It is publicity. It is — one, it’s huge for the NFL because yes, the NFL is big. Taylor Swift is huge and now she’s getting an entirely different demographic to come watch the NFL," VanZant said. "Think of the wives that are buying Travis Kelce jerseys now. It’s a huge publicity play on both fronts. It’s good for Taylor Swift, it’s good for the NFL, it’s good for Travis Kelce.
"There is so much strategic stuff that’s happening," she added.
Regardless, they and their A-list friends are clearly having fun!
