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 are officially married - and all eyes are on what the bride wore when she walked down the aisle at Madison Square Garden.
The couple, both 36, shut down New York's most iconic venue for their nuptials, which took place on Friday, July 3.
Their wedding had been months in the making, with fans given only small glimpses of the decorations as they were loaded into MSG ahead of the big event.
While several AI images of Taylor in a wedding dress quickly circulated the internet, no official photos have yet been released of the bride and groom.
However, details of her wedding dress have been shared, with a representative for the singer confirming she and Travis were both wearing Christian Dior Haute Couture.
The rep told Page Six that the newlyweds' outfits were designed by the French fashion house’s new creative director Jonathan Anderson “in close collaboration” with Taylor and Travis.
Both outfits were made in Dior's ateliers at 30 Avenue Montaigne in Paris, and this is Anderson's first couture bridal gown for a major celebrity.
Dior had reportedly won against some stiff competition in the form of Ralph Lauren, Stella McCartney, Oscar de la Renta, and Vivienne Westwood, to be chosen to design Taylor's wedding dress.
According to TMZ's sources, Taylor's dress was described as a "long gown with a train".
The couple's footwear was no less lavish, as both Taylor and her NFL star husband wore custom-made Christian Louboutin shoes, while Taylor's jewelry was from Cartier.
The Grammy Award winner's stunning engagement ring is a custom old mine ring made by Artifex Fine Jewelry’s Kindred Lubeck, who worked with Travis to design it.
The big day was dubbed the wedding of the century, with 1,000 people in attendance, including Taylor and Travis's family and friends, as well as a host of A-list guests.
The pair opted not to have bridesmaids or groomsmen, but instead had their brothers joining them, with Tay's brother Austin serving as her man of honor, while Travis's brother Jason was his best man.
Jason and his wife Kylie's children also reportedly served as flower girls, who threw petals at Taylor's feet as she walked down the aisle.
The ceremony was officiated by comedian and actor Adam Sandler, who reportedly sang a "humorous yet touching" original song he had written about the couple and their love, according to TMZ.
Food for the event was reportedly catered by Zero Bond, one of Taylor's favorite places to eat in New York, which she visited just a couple of weeks ago to celebrate the Knicks' Game 4 win in the NBA Finals.
Guests were also reportedly able to enjoy "carnival-like games" after the venue was transformed, with insiders comparing the decor to "Alice in Wonderland meets The Wizard of Oz", with a greenhouse and garden built for the day.
Now, fans are eagerly awaiting the first official photos of Taylor and Travis as a married couple.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have reportedly laid down one firm rule for guests at their lavish wedding celebrations.
The pair are said to be hosting a large, multi-day event at New York City’s Madison Square Garden today (July 3), with the occasion being described as the “wedding of the century.”
Swift and Kelce, who announced their engagement in August 2025, have kept the finer details closely under wraps, but the buildup in Manhattan has sparked strong rumours that the big day is now happening.
MSG was reportedly selected because of its strong security and privacy setup. With no windows for photographers and underground VIP access points, the venue is thought to be ideal for an A-list gathering.
The main reception is expected to welcome around 1,000 to 1,200 guests, with the celebrations reportedly running until 4AM on July 4.
Though best known as a sports arena, the venue has allegedly been completely reworked for the occasion.
Trucks labelled “Garden Party” have been spotted arriving, while workers have been unloading trees, foliage, drapes, a 40-inch mirror ball and a large white staircase.
Sources say the space is being turned into an enchanted garden with royal castle touches, which may be a reference to their garden-themed engagement in August 2025.
The guest list is reportedly packed with high-profile names including Ed Sheeran, Selena Gomez, Gigi Hadid, Suki Waterhouse, Zoë Kravitz, the Haim sisters, Jason Kelce and Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid.
According to reports, the couple have asked guests not to give them wedding gifts, with the loved-up pair instead asking those invited to donate to charities close to them.
The no-gifts instruction was revealed by San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle, who said in an interview with ExtraTV that he was on the guest list and confirmed the couple had asked for no presents.
Guests are also reportedly set to enjoy performances from Stevie Nicks and Tim McGraw. The entire event is said to be operating under state-visit-level security, with costs estimated at between $3 million and $5 million.
Staff are reportedly required to sign NDAs, wear special wristbands and surrender their phones before entering.

The biggest celebrity wedding of the 21st century is upon us, and it's said to take place at Madison Square Garden (MSG) this weekend.
Taylor Swift is set to tie the knot with NFL star Travis Kelce after three years of being together, at one of the most iconic venues in the country.
A lot has been leaked about reported details of the wedding, including NDAs for guests, and how celebrations may last for several days over the weekend.
It's widely believed that the more intimate ceremony will be held on Friday (July 3), with close friends and family, while celebrations with the 1000-or-so guests are set to take place later on in the weekend.
Details of the wedding have been widely kept under wraps, as it was even reported that the pair watermarked invites so they would know if anyone leaked information to the media.
It was also recently confirmed that Swift wouldn't change her stage name, though she would go by Taylor Kelce legally following the wedding.
On the eve of Mrs Travis Kelce's big day, names on the guest list have reportedly been made public, with some recognizable A-listers making the cut.
Kelce's brother Jason and his wife Kylie will be in attendance, while it is expected that Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his wife Brittany will also attend the wedding.
Swift's music producer Jack Antonoff and his Hollywood star wife Margaret Qualley are set to be on the list, while the likes of Sabrina Carpenter and Lana Del Rey are expected to be there.
Selena Gomez is expected to attend, after Swift was a bridesmaid at her wedding to Benny Blanco in 2025, while the Haim sisters are also expected to attend, as they were spotted sitting with Swift at the NBA Finals.
Talk show host Graham Norton is also rumored to have been invited after Swift verbally invited him when she appeared on his show last year.
But what about stars from across the pond attending Swift's big day?
Ed Sheeran
The pair have been friends for years, having collaborated on numerous songs over the years.
Despite Sheeran only finding out about their engagement on Instagram as he didn't own a phone, it looks like he'll be there for his bestie's wedding.
Swift joked that getting in contact with the 'Shape of You' singer requires an email to set up a FaceTime, and wait time so he can find an iPad to call with.
Previously speaking on Hits Radio Breakfast Show, Swift all but confirmed Sheeran's invitation after host Fleur East asked if he would be performing at her wedding.
The '22' singer replied: "It would be hard to keep him from it, I think! That’s the thing, he’s like, 'I’m always being asked to sing at weddings.' It’s like, 'Ed, if there is a stage, you know you’ll be on it.' He knows what people want, and he wants to give people what they want."
Sophie Turner
It's been reported that Swift and Turner formed a close friendship in late 2023 after Swift offered the Game of Thrones actress her New York City apartment to her and her two daughters following the actress' divorce from Joe Jonas.
Jonas also happened to be one of Swift's ex-boyfriends, but this hasn't stopped Turner from gushing over the artist's songs over the years, even publicly praising a song written about her then-husband.
Turner and Swift were seen having girls' nights out in New York during the couple's split, while also being spotted at Kansas City Chiefs games years later, according to TODAY.
Like Sabrina Carpenter, Suki Waterhouse opened for Swift during her Wembley Stadium show at the Eras Tour in 2024.
They were close for years though, as Swift once said that Waterhouse was "the wildest person I know who I would also trust to keep any secret."
Waterhouse also told Variety that she would be going to Swift's wedding, admitting that there's "nothing scarier than the actual planning part, right?"
She added in her May 2026 feature: "I’m gonna go to Taylor’s wedding, and maybe I’ll get some inspiration. It will be amazing."
Cara Delevingne
Model and actress Cara Delevingne has a close relationship with Swift, which spans over the past 12/13 years.
After modelling in the 2013 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, the pair formed a friendship, with the Brit even appearing in the star-filled Bad Blood music video in 2015.
Delevingne also claimed that she lived with Swift after a hard break-up at one point - since then, the duo have been seen together at events, often to support each other.
Dua Lipa
Dua Lipa may be fresh off her own wedding to Callum Turner in June, but it's been rumored that the New Rules artist has been invited to Swift's wedding.
The artist was recently pictured in New York, further sparking rumors about her attendance.

Travis Kelce’s friend has revealed a strict rule that the NFL star and his wife Taylor Swift have ahead of their upcoming mega-weddings.
The Kansas City Chiefs star is set to marry Swift, one of the world’s biggest and most popular musicians, in a huge ceremony in the relatively near future, and speculation has turned to the venue, the guest list, and the events of the day itself.
According to reports, the wedding of the year will take place at Madison Square Garden in New York, fit for around 1,000 guests.
The guest list is expected to include people such as Selena Gomez and her new husband, Benny Blanco, Cara Delevingne, Swift’s famous friend Ed Sheeran and even her famous ex Robert Pattinson.
Also on the guest list is NFL star George Kittle, and he is the one who revealed one very specific rule that the couple have put in place ahead of the big day.
The San Francisco 49ers tight end, who will attend the wedding with his wife Claire, said that the happy couple have specifically said that no guests are to bring gifts.
When he was pressed on what he’d be bringing, Kittle said: “They said absolutely no gifts.”
It makes sense when you think about it - what do you buy the couple that already has everything?
However, Kittle is still going to bring something along for his fellow football star.
He added: “But I was thinking Travis, for some reason, likes old coins so I might get him one of those.”
Then, when pressed for a message for the couple ahead of their nuptials, he said: “Just have so much fun with all your friends.”
The truth is, we aren’t quite sure yet - but we have some ideas.
It is expected that the pair will marry at Madison Square Gardens over the Fourth of July weekend, and a statement from the mayor’s office in New York said that a permit was filed in early June asking for road closures from July 2 to July 4 around the venue.
It has also been reported that many of Kelce’s Chiefs teammates had booked hotels in the nearby area for that same period.
It seems as if there might be a number of events planned, with some rumors suggesting that there will be a smaller event on July 2, followed by a massive party on July 3, with rumored music performances as well.
There have also been suggestions that this venue could all be a decoy, and that Swift may actually be having her big wedding elsewhere, but this would be a lot of effort for that.
Taylor Swift podcaster Nicki Vleisides told BBC News: "MSG is where music and sports come together at the most famous venue in the world,
"The more I've thought about it, it kind of seems like the perfect choice for both Taylor and Travis and their respective industries."
His podcast co-host Andie Furber added: "No drones or paparazzi can get in or out, and Taylor, Travis and guests can enter underground from blocks away with no chance of getting photographed.”

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are already married, according to reports, that is despite the couple’s marriage ceremony set for later today.
The couple are expected to host a lavish celebration at Madison Square Garden on Friday, with more than 1,000 guests in attendance, following an intimate rehearsal dinner for around 100 people the night before.
However, insiders claim the pair have already tied the knot in a private ceremony attended by only a small group of family and close friends.
One source told Page Six: "They are already married."
A music industry insider based in Nashville also claimed there's widespread speculation in the city that the pair have "already got legally married."
Neither Swift nor Kelce has publicly confirmed the reports.
Although New York marriage licenses are sealed, the publication previously reported that security sources at Manhattan's City Clerk's Office claimed there had been no sign of a marriage license issued to Swift in recent days, adding: "We would know."
Under New York law, a marriage license costs $35 and remains valid for 60 days after it's issued, with a mandatory 24-hour waiting period before a legal ceremony can take place unless a judicial waiver is granted.
Another insider suggested the couple may have quietly exchanged vows in Tennessee, where Swift relocated as a teenager to pursue her music career.
The speculation intensified after flight tracking data appeared to show Swift's private jet making several stops on Sunday in locations linked to close family members.
The aircraft reportedly departed Nashville before landing in Philadelphia, where Kelce's father, Ed, lives. Pennsylvania is also home to his brother, Jason Kelce, and sister-in-law, Kylie Kelce.
The jet then reportedly travelled to Tampa, where Swift's father, Scott Swift, lives, before returning to Nashville. It remained there until June 30, when it flew back to New York City.
Meanwhile, preparations are well underway at Madison Square Garden ahead of the couple's highly anticipated celebration. The iconic venue has reportedly been transformed with elaborate décor, including a garden installation, while performances are expected from celebrity friends including Stevie Nicks and Kenny Chesney.
Singer Ed Sheeran has also been rumoured to be performing, while Sir Paul McCartney is believed to be among the guests.
The reception is also expected to feature food from some of Swift's favourite restaurants, including Sartiano's.
Reports have also claimed that Swift and Kelce have donated $26 million to charity ahead of their wedding celebrations, though neither has publicly commented on the claim.
