Several described a garden setting inside the enclosed, windowless arena, where thousands of people typically watch basketball games, hockey games, rock concerts or ice performances. The location was seen as an unusual choice for exchanging vows. The setting was “as intimate as possible considering it was Madison Square Garden,” host George Stephanopoulos said on ABC’s “Good Morning America.” “A true garden within the Garden. Simply beautiful.” “It's hard to imagine that such a big venue and a wedding with so many stars could feel so personal and so intimate,” he said. Swift's team said the couple wore looks from luxury brand Christian Dior, but released few other details. A representative for the singer did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment. No official photos have been released. Presenter Robin Roberts, from the American TV program “Good Morning America”, said that the wedding had many personalized touches. “They had neighbors and friends from high school,” he said. “It was like any wedding you could attend.” Telão announces the wedding of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Reuters The event, however, brought together a high-level guest list. Among the celebrities seen entering or leaving Madison Square Garden on Friday were Selena Gomez, Tom Hanks, Steven Spielberg, Bradley Cooper, Gigi Hadid, Paul McCartney, Gracie Abrams, Jason Sudeikis and Hugh Grant. According to the press, more than 1,000 people were invited. Roberts also confirmed the performance of Stevie Nicks, former lead singer of Fleetwood Mac and long-time solo artist, friend of Swift. She also said the bride and groom wrote their own vows. Adam Aron, CEO of AMC Theaters, published a detailed report on the social network X (later removed), stating that the wedding took place in a small part of the arena isolated from the rest of the space, “without any sign that there had ever been a basketball or hockey game there”. "After some soft romantic music to ambiance the space, violins and cellos kicked off the ceremony. Leading the event was the elegant Travis in a white tuxedo and a breathtaking Taylor in a stunning white wedding dress with train and long veil," wrote Aron. He also said he has been close to Taylor Swift's circle since the release of the Eras Tour film in 2023. Joseph Kahn, director of several of Swift's videos, joked about the cell phone ban policy at the event. “I haven't been without my cell phone this long since 1992,” he posted on X.
