Taylor Swift marries her 'lover' Travis Kelce at a star-studded ceremony in Madison Square Garden

After months of speculation and predictions, American pop star Taylor Swift married her longtime boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce, at New York City's Madison Square Garden on Friday. A representative from Swift's team confirmed the news in a statement to the media.

The statement mentioned that the two were married in a ceremony officiated by comedian Adam Sandler. The couple had no bridesmaids or groomsmen. Swift's brother, Austin Swift, served as her "Man of Honour," the representative said, while Kelce's brother, retired NFL offensive lineman Jason Kelce, served as Kelce's best man.

According to Swift's representative, her wedding dress was created by Christian Dior Haute Couture. The photographs from the ceremony are yet to be released. Meanwhile, law enforcement sources noted that the couple welcomed around 1,000 guests at Madison Square Garden to celebrate their marriage.

It was not immediately clear if the wedding ceremony occurred at Madison Square Garden, or at some point before. Large black SUVs were seen starting to arrive at the famous venue shortly after 3 pm ET (local time), pulling into white tents set up outside, CBS News reported.
