Travis Kelce opens up about ‘magical’ Taylor Swift wedding in new podcast

Travis Kelce has shared new details about his “magical” wedding to Taylor Swift during the series premiere of his podcast New Heights.

His co-host and brother Jason Kelce welcomed him to the show as a “married man”, to which Travis replied: “That’s right,” and showed the camera the wedding band on his left hand.

“I’m a married man,” he added.

The singer and NFL tight end, both 36, tied the knot at New York’s Madison Square Garden on July 3, which Kelce said offered a “private” setting “without a lot of distractions”.

More than 1,000 guests attended the event, and while many have posted photos on social media from the night, the newlyweds are yet to share any snaps or details from their big day.

Travis said he had been having “so much fun” since the big day, adding it was a “night out we’ll never forget” and “so magical”.

He said: “Me and Taylor are so thankful for everybody that showed up, from the vows to just seeing everyone, to how much fun we had throughout the entire evening.”

The newly-minted groom added that the wedding’s no-phones policy allowed guests to be present in the moment.

“With no phones comes people not having to be on guard and feel something, whatever that feeling is for everyone,” he said.

“It makes everyone be in the moment and be present.”

The ceremony was officiated by Adam Sandler, with other guests including Selena Gomez, Ed Sheeran, Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper, Zoe Kravitz, Graham Norton and Hugh Grant.

“I can’t thank everyone without giving a special thank you to the Adam Sandler,” Travis said.

Former NFL player Jason Kelce said Swift and his brother were both ’incredible’ in their vows (PA)

“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, you know, Sandman style, and giving us more than we could have ever imagined in that moment.

“Knowing that it was the biggest night of both of our lives, it was absolutely insane.”

Former NFL player Jason said Swift and his brother were both “incredible” in their vows, adding that after the ceremony: “It was just time to party and have fun and that’s what made it so fun for me.”

A billboard outside the venue read “JUST&T MARRIED” following the ceremony.

Other notable guests included Camila Cabello, Jason Sudeikis, Jimmy Fallon, Tom Brady, Chris Rock, Jessica Alba, Steven Spielberg, Eric Stonestreet, Stephen Colbert, Sombr, Kelsea Ballerini, Benson Boone, Tommy Hilfiger and Miranda Lambert.

The couple’s romance began in 2023 after Kelce publicly announced on the podcast that he was interested in Swift, which she later said was a “wild, romantic gesture”.
