Travis Kelce Finally Reveals Why He, Taylor Swift Chose MSG for Wedding
Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift's wedding day was, indeed, a fairytale.
And it’s one the Kansas City Chiefs tight end is more than happy to relive over and over.
"I heard you got married,” ESPN’s Chris Berman quipped to Kelce during a joint Sept. 14 interview with his teammate Patrick Mahomes, a clip of which aired Sept. 11, per People. "Is this true?"
"This is true, this is true,” Kelce responded, before teasing, “Didn’t I see you there?"
"It was the best night of my life," he continued of the July event, which took place at Madison Square Garden. "Marrying Taylor was more than I could have ever dreamed it to be because of all the people that showed up, and the amount of, you know, love that was in the air."
Mahomes—who tore his ACL and LCL last season—also chimed in on the memorable evening.
"My perspective, it was a lot of fun," he recounted. "I did a little dancing. I didn’t know if I was gonna be able to dance, and it was good to get my first dancing experience of the offseason."
Kelce and Mahomes' comments about the star-studded affair come just on the heels of Kelce breaking his silence on his wedding.
"It’s been so much fun, it was insane,” he said during the Sept. 2 episode of his New Heights podcast with brother Jason Kelce. “It was a night we’ll never forget. Me and Taylor are so thankful for everybody that showed up."

Kelce added, "From the vows to the seeing everyone to how much fun we had throughout the entire evening, and hearing that being relayed through everyone’s stories of that night—it was just so magical man, I wish it could have lasted longer than it did."
However, as the Happy Gilmore 2 actor noted, “Once the drinks stopped being served, everyone starts to mosey out.”
He also expressed his gratitude to everyone who helped behind the scenes.
“Thank you to everyone at MSG,” he continued. “We wanted it to do it somewhere where we could have a very intimate and genuine setting without a lot of distractions and we needed to have a private feel, and MSG went above and beyond to give us that and I can’t thank everybody enough, that showed up but helped put that show on."
But the nuptials couldn’t have happened without one person in particular: official Adam Sandler.

"He has been just the f--king best person on this planet,” he gushed. “For him to be up for getting ordained in the state of New York and marrying me and Taylor. And the way he did it, in the very Sandman style, and giving us more than what we could’ve imagined at that moment, knowing that it was the biggest night of our lives, it was absolutely insane man.”

It marked the designer’s first time designing a dress for a world-renowned celebrity.

Who was in Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding party?
While the rumors flew as to who from Swift’s squad would make it onto the altar with her, both the Grammy winner and her now-husband opted to skip the traditional wedding party. Instead, Swift had her brother Austin Swift act as her Man of Honor, while Kelce tapped his brother Jason Kelce to be his Best Man.
As for who was heard saying speak now or forever hold your peace? Adam Sandler stepped in to be the couple’s officiant. The comedian is, along with his family, a longtime Swiftie and has been a guest on the New Heights podcast. Kelce also made a cameo appearance in Happy Gilmore 2, which Swift rated “13/10” and called “an absolute must watch.”

There was quite the evergreen group of friends that stepped out at Madison Square Garden to see Swift and Kelce say “I do.” Seriously, the guest list was over 1,000 people.
On Swift’s side, her longtime friends including Abigail Anderson Berard, Selena Gomez and her husband Benny Blanco, Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper, Ed Sheeran and wife Cherry Seaborn, Lena Dunham, Jack Antonoff, Zoë Kravitz, Ashley Avignone and Karlie Kloss could all be voted best dressed, fearless.

Who didn’t attend Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding?
Considering these nuptials simply hit different, it’s hard to believe any guest would decline on their RSVP. However, stars including Ryan Seacrest, Zoë’s fiancé (and Swift’s ex) Harry Styles and Swift’s former BFF Jaime King, whose son Leo Thames is one of Swift’s godchildren, had to skip the ceremony for their own reasons, emphasizing no bad blood.
Meanwhile, Garret “Jacknife” Lee—who co-produced Swift’s “The Last Time”—thought his invite was too good to be true. His wife Melissa Garner Lee revealed in an op-ed that her husband told her he’d received “a text” from Swift’s manager inviting the couple to her nuptials, but ignored it thinking it was spam.
Swift’s “Snow on the Beach” duet partner Lana Del Rey, for her part, also opted for a low-key weekend, skipping the nuptials in favor of hosting a friend’s birthday, which she confirmed on Instagram.
Among other stars who were formerly in Swift and Kelce’s inner circle but did not make their white veil occasion include Dianna Agron, Keleigh Sperry Teller and Miles Teller, as well as Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds. Although the stars were previously thick as thieves with Swift and Kelce, it appears a frost has arisen amid the friendships.

Despite the large scale of the wedding, guests have overwhelmingly emphasized the intimate feel of Swift and Kelce’s ceremony.
"It was as intimate as it possibly could be given it was Madison Square Garden," Stephanapoulos said during a GMA segment July 4. “It was really this garden inside the Garden, which was so beautiful. It's hard to imagine a place that big, and a wedding with such stars, could feel so personal and so intimate.”
