Excess was the name of the \u201cEndgame\u201d for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce\u2019s love story, which culminated in a Madison Square Garden wedding this past Friday.<\/p>\n

From shutting down a chunk of Midtown to welcoming intergenerational A-listers and raffling off a 1970 Chevelle, little about the nuptials was relatable.<\/p>\n

Even less of it was subtle. But it\u2019s the spectacle that continues to make it gripping to all the civilians who didn\u2019t make the guest list.<\/p>\n

Below, here\u2019s what we\u2019ve learned about the most star-studded phone-free \u201cpinch me moment\u201d of the year, maybe even the century.<\/p>\n

The aesthetic<\/h4>\n

The couple\u2019s \u201cwedding ceremony looks have been created by Christian Dior Haute Couture. They are designed by Jonathan Anderson, Creative Director of Dior Women\u2019s, Men\u2019s and Haute Couture Collections, in close collaboration with the Bride and Groom,\u201d Swift\u2019s rep said Friday evening, in a press release distributed\u00a0to media outlets. \u201cThis is the designer\u2019s first couture wedding dress for a world-renowned celebrity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Guests were given a black-tie dress code, per The New York Times.<\/p>\n

AMC Theatres CEO Adam Aron said in a lengthy, since-deleted post on both X and LinkedIn, that \u201ceverything\u2026 floors, walls, ceiling\u2026 was draped in peach and white.\u201d<\/p>\n

A pair of attendees told NBC News that guests walked through a tunnel lined with photos of the soon-to-be-newlyweds both before and during their relationship, before entering their \u201cSecret Garden.\u201d Aron described them as \u201clarge blown up pictures of Taylor and Travis at each age, year by year.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

An insider told People that\u00a0The World\u2019s Most Famous Arena \u201clooked like a forest,\u201d which is in line with Swift\u2019s \u201cfolklore\u201d era.<\/p>\n

Despite the reported 1,100 to 1,200 guests, both Aron and \u201cGood Morning America\u201d co-anchor George Stephanopoulos described the event as having felt so \u201cintimate.\u201d<\/p>\n

Per Robin Roberts, also of \u201cGMA,\u201d the event \u201cwas like any other wedding you would attend.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mother of the groom Donna Kelce has described the event as \u201cmagical, man, magical.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

The ceremony<\/span><\/h4>\n

An eyewitness told TMZ Swift walked down the aisle to a string rendition of one of her own songs. As The New Yorker wrote, \u201cAfter the pop star spent years singing about imagined weddings, her life was finally catching up with her art.\u201d<\/p>\n

The stars each penned their own vows \u2014 which Aron found \u201clong, entertaining, personal, charming, emotional, irreverent and endearing\u201d with the Grammy winner singing for a portion of hers.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou would think the bride would be the one crying more, but it was actually Travis that was more emotional,\u201d one of the guests told NBC.<\/p>\n

Per Aron, it was clear that the couple is \u201cso obviously head over heels about having found their soulmate.\u201d<\/p>\n

Who was there?<\/h4>\n

Per the release, Mr. & Mrs. Kelce \u2014 Swift-Kelce? Kelce-Swift? \u2014 \u201cdid not have bridesmaids or groomsmen.\u201d Swift\u2019s younger brother Austin was her Man of Honor, while Kelce\u2019s big brother and \u201cNew Heights\u201d podcast co-host Jason Kelce served as his Best Man, in a ceremony \u201cofficiated by friend Adam Sandler.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kelce and the Brooklyn-born \u201cWedding Singer,\u201d 59,<\/span> worked together on 2025\u2019s \u201cHappy Gilmore\u201d sequel.<\/span><\/h4>\n

Swift, whose recent Eras Tour film and behind-the-scenes docuseries live on Disney+, invited several Disney execs and the hosts of \u201cGood Morning America.\u201d (ABC is also notably owned by Disney.) The move has also fueled speculation that footage from the wedding might also find its way into theaters and, later, onto the streamer. Aron\u2019s attendance has not convinced people otherwise.<\/p>\n

Of the thousand-plus guests, some of the most notable include, but are certainly not limited to Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco, Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper, Zo\u00eb Kravitz, Karlie Kloss, Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks, Jennifer Lopez, Lena Dunham, Jack Antonoff, Adam Scott, Paul Rudd, Glennon Doyle and Abby Wambach, Jessica Chastain, The Chainsmokers, Ed Sheeran, Dakota Johnson, Jason Sudeikis and Ethan Hawke.<\/p>\n

Those from Kelce\u2019s world included NFL stars like Julian Edelman, Beau Allen, Baker Mayfield, as well as sportscasters Joe Buck, Erin Andrews, and Charissa Thompson. Kelce\u2019s coach Andy Reid as well as New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel\u00a0\u2014 currently embroiled in a scandal involving former Athletic reporter Dianna Russini \u2014 were also in attendance, the latter with his wife.<\/p>\n

Swift\u2019s former bestie Blake Lively was notably upstate during her rehearsal dinner and reportedly not in attendance at the wedding.<\/p>\n

Ashley Smith, sister of Kelce\u2019s teammate Trey Smith, announced she \u201cended up catching Tay Tay\u2019s bouquet.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Which stars played a role in the festivities?<\/h4>\n

In addition to Sandler\u2019s officiating, the Times previously reported that Swift would be performing at the reception with Stevie Nicks. Paul McCartney reportedly sang The Beatles\u2019 \u201cI Want To Hold Your Hand.\u201d<\/p>\n

Easter eggs to Swift\u2019s own music<\/h4>\n

While it\u2019s not yet been confirmed which track Swift chose to walk down the aisle to, the \u201cJam Session\u201d podcast cited \u201cWildest Dreams\u201d as the chosen number. The song is from Swift\u2019s 2014\u2019s hit \u201c1989\u201d \u2014 an album largely understood by Swifties to be about the superstar\u2019s romance with Harry Styles, who is now engaged to her friend Zo\u00eb Kravitz. Styles was invited to the wedding but busy touring, though Kravitz was photographed en route to the wedding.<\/p>\n

Guests were given a keepsake lace handkerchief embroidered with \u201cJuly 3, 2026,\u201d a T&T monogram, \u201cNew York city,\u201d and, on the bottom, \u201cSo it\u2019s gonna be forever\u2026\u201d That line is the start of the chorus to \u201cBlank Space,\u201d also a \u201c1989\u201d single and Kelce\u2019s favorite of his new wife\u2019s canon.<\/p>\n

Still, it\u2019s an interesting choice, given the lyric is immediately followed by: \u201cOr it\u2019s gonna go down in flames.\u201d<\/p>\n

What did everyone eat?<\/h4>\n

It\u2019s unclear what everyone indulged in during the wedding itself, but for the family-style rehearsal dinner, a source told the Times that Sartiano\u2019s catered, with meatballs, caviar cannoli,and spaghetti arrabiata among the offerings.<\/p>\n
