It’s official: Taylor Swift’s publicist has announced that the singer and Travis Kelce got married at New York’s Madison Square Garden on Friday.
Speculation about the ceremony has been rife ever since the couple announced their engagement in an Instagram post last August.
The couple have said almost nothing about it in the lead-up, but you can’t book New York’s biggest indoor concert venue for an entire weekend without causing a few whispers.
The nuptials represent more than two celebrities tying the knot.
They are now one of the most powerful married couples in America, with a combined wealth of almost $2.2bn (£1.6bn), and huge sway across the music, sport, film, podcast, publishing and television industries.
But for Swifties, their wedding is the culmination of a two-decade fairytale.
To mark the big day, here’s a look at how their relationship evolved.
A bumpy start
Travis was spotted attending Taylor’s Eras Tour when it hit Kansas City’s Arrowhead Stadium on 8 July 2023. He watched from a private box – but was seen meeting fans and trading friendship bracelets.
He later revealed on his New Heights podcast that he’d tried to meet Swift – but his advances were rejected, because she was protecting her voice.
“If you’re up on Taylor Swift concerts, there are friendship bracelets, and I received a bunch of them being there, but I wanted to give Taylor Swift one with my number on it,” he said later that month. “I was a little butt-hurt I didn’t get to hand her one.”
The clip went viral and got Taylor’s attention. It felt like “he was standing outside of my apartment, holding a boom box saying, ‘I want to go on a date with you’,” she later recalled.
Going public
After the podcast, Swift had “a lot of people whispering in my ear”, encouraging her to hook up with Travis. She caved in over the summer.
The couple went public on 24 September, when Taylor spent the day cheering on Travis’s American football team, the Kansas City Chiefs, alongside his mum Donna.
When he scored a touchdown, cameras caught her celebrating with an enthusiastic, “Let’s ****ing go!”. The couple later left together.
