New york city: Media reports reveal that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce had a quiet wedding before a big celebration. The New York Post's Page Six column and website, citing unnamed sources, reports that pop superstar Taylor Swift and football star Travis Kelce have privately married in front of a small group of close friends, amidst preparations for a grand wedding reception at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
According to Thai News Agency, the celebrity couple, both 36 years old, have not disclosed the exact date, time, and location of their wedding ceremony, but reports indicate that Swift's private jet has already flown to Nashville, the city where she lived at the beginning of her career. However, the couple has shown their support for New York City by donating $26 million to various charities this week. Several media outlets report that the couple held a reception for 100 guests last Thursday, followed by a larger celebration with over 1,000 attendees on Friday.
Surrounding the event venue, police officers had erected barricades, closing off roads and sidewalks for tight security. Images showed celebrities such as Bradley Cooper, Lena Dunham, Erin Andrews, and Jack Antonoff arriving in dazzling evening gowns. Furthermore, signs at the entrance instructed those entering the area between June 29th and July 3rd to maintain strict secrecy and refrain from disclosing information about the hosts or attendees. Media cameras also captured footage of the transportation of decorations and luxury food items, including lobster, into the event.
This wedding, dubbed the "American Royal Wedding," coincided with the U.S. Independence Day holiday and took place in extremely hot weather, prompting the city to declare a heatwave emergency. New York City Mayor Zorran Maddani used the opportunity to encourage people to seek shelter indoors, using the indoor wedding at this prestigious venue as a prime example of how to protect oneself from extreme heat.
Although the closure of roads around the city center, a major transportation hub, caused inconvenience to some residents and tourists, Swift's fans were extremely excited about this century-long event. The couple has impressed fans worldwide since announcing their engagement last August, and a large number of close friends from the entertainment industry are expected to attend and offer their congratulations.
