He said, "No. Thanks, Taylor. Thanks, Travis," before delivering a heartfelt four-word message for the newlyweds: "May it last forever."

Swift and Kelce tied the knot during a star-studded ceremony at New York City's Madison Square Garden, where around 1,000 guests gathered to celebrate.

The guest list reportedly included celebrities such as Selena Gomez, Bradley Cooper, Gigi Hadid, Dakota Johnson, Lena Dunham, Jack Antonoff and Mariska Hargitay.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding came nearly a year after announcing their engagement in August 2025 after a romantic garden proposal.

Kelce and Swift's relationship sparked headlines in 2023 after the NFL star expressed interest in the Grammy-winner. Later, Swift also attended one of Kelce's games.
