Megastars Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are married, the singer's publicist announced on Friday as guests attended a star-studded celebration at Madison Square Garden in New York that followed a three-year romance. "JUST&T MARRIED," flashed on giant screens on the exterior of the Manhattan sports arena. Moments later, Swift's publicist confirmed via email that the Grammy-winning musician had wed the Kansas City Chiefs star football player. Comedian Adam Sandler officiated the ceremony, the statement said. While the duo had not previously confirmed their plans, the preparations gripped the public. Stars including Jennifer Lopez, Ed Sheeran, Ethan Hawke, Jimmy Fallon and Abby Wambach were spotted entering the venue on a sweltering day when temperatures topped 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 degrees Celsius). Onlookers including the singer's "Swifties" fans strained to catch a glimpse of the celebrity crowd, amid heavy security at a site that sits atop one of New York's major transit hubs. Celebrity guests in tuxedos and gowns arrived at New York's Madison Square Garden on Friday for what was widely expected to be a glitzy wedding celebration for the couple that has enchanted fans around the world with a three-year love story. Jennifer Lopez, Ed Sheeran, Ethan Hawke, Abby Wambach, Jimmy Fallon and other luminaries were spotted entering the venue on a sweltering day when temperatures topped 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 degrees Celsius). Black sport utility vehicles snarled traffic as they drove into the facility, stopping when workers asked occupants to show electronic tickets for verification.
"Watch your toes!" yelled a person at the checkpoint to the crowd while guests' cars passed a few feet away. Dozens of onlookers stood behind barriers outside the event dubbed "America's royal wedding." One showed off a pink-and-white friendship bracelet that read "Team Bride." Another held a handmade sign that put a spin on a Swift lyric. "Karma is the guy on the Chiefs, coming straight to MSG," it said. Jane Lowry, a 15-year-old high school student from Texas who came to New York on vacation, climbed scaffolding across the street from the Garden to catch a glimpse of arriving celebrities. "I wanted to see Taylor Swift because I do really like her music," Lowry said, adding that she had spotted only two football players from her vantage point. Swift has documented her romances and breakups in her music, and Lowry said she looked forward to the singer's album releases during her marriage. "I think she'll write some cute songs about it," she said. DAYS OF SETUP Workers spent days this week unloading food and scenery for a major event into the iconic Manhattan arena. Lights atop the Empire State Building were set to turn light blue on Friday evening, a nod to the adage that "something blue" at a wedding brings good luck, according to a social media account for the landmark. U.S. media have reported the pair plan a cocktail hour for 1,000 people at the start of a long holiday weekend when the nation celebrates the 250th anniversary of its Declaration of Independence from British rule.
