AMC Theatres CEO Adam Aron clearly did not get the memo when it came to the secrecy surrounding Taylor Swift’s wedding to Travis Kelce.
The Grammy winner married the Kansas City Chiefs player in a private, star-studded ceremony in Madison Square Garden in New York City Friday.
Many have speculated that the unusual wedding venue was chosen specifically due to its due to its ability to keep the ceremony hidden from prying eyes.
However, that didn’t stop Aron from sharing — and subsequently deleting — a detailed play-by-play of the event on social media.
The 71-year-old executive shared on X: “It was such a privilege to be THERE. Having been in Taylor Swift's orbit since AMC first took her Eras Tour movie to theaters globally in 2023, and with AMC's headquarters ironically located in Kansas City home to the Chiefs, I saw early on that true romance was at hand.
“Tonight a new era in that romantic story commenced.”
Of the venue, he revealed, “It did not look like Madison Square Garden,” confirming reports that the couple were transforming the stadium interior for their nuptials.
“Immediately upon entry, everything… floors, walls, ceilings… was draped in peach and white. Large blown up pictures of Taylor and Travis at each age, year by year from one year-old to late teenager-hood, were on display,” Aron wrote.
“A small portion of MSG was cordoned off, devoid of any notion that a basketball or hockey game ever shared that space. Somehow magically, someone created an outdoor garden at a lush countryside retreat. Everything draped off this time in green and white. Real flowers and I think artificial trees welcomed fifteen rows of maybe 75 or so chairs. They say there were around one thousand attendees, but surprisingly, it all felt intimate and small. Everything was close.”
Aron said the couple then had some “relaxing and mellow romantic songs played to settle the house, a few violins and cello,” which ushered in the wedding party, “headlined by handsome Travis in a white tux, and a jaw-dropping Taylor in a stunning white wedding dress with a long veiled train.”
After much speculation, it was confirmed that both Swift and Kelce’s wedding looks were created by Christian Dior Haute Couture, designed by Jonathan Anderson, creative director of Dior Women’s, Men’s and Haute Couture Collections, “in close collaboration with the Bride and Groom.”
Aron described the couple’s vows as “long, entertaining, personal, charming, emotional, irreverent and endearing explorations by each as to how they met, why they want to be with each other for all eternity, the promises they made in joining their much-beloved two whole families (Kelce’s and Swift’s) as one, and committing to their new mutual life together.”
He added, “This is no small love. Each at the absolute pinnacle of their worlds. Each so obviously head over heels about having found their soulmate.“
He also offered a glimpse inside the lavish reception, describing an elaborate “Secret Garden” theme complete with illuminated trees stretching five stories high. “Superb food and drink,” he wrote, alongside “an A-list audience to fete the young couple” and, of course, “music, music, music.”
“Congrats to ‘Trav and Tay-tay,’” Aron concluded. “Swifities everywhere and a perharps larger-than-normal Chiefs Nation wishes that your happy day will continue without end.”
The Independent has contacted Aron for comment.
In the lead-up to the highly anticipated wedding, speculation swirled that the couple was going to film the ceremony. As Aron mentioned, Swift has worked with AMC in the past to release her Eras Tour movie in theaters.
TMZ noted Thursday that signs had been posted near the venue noting that there would be photography and videography going on in connection with “an event taking place at MSG.”
