A representative for Swift confirmed the marriage on Friday evening in a statement that also detailed the couple's wedding day fashion.
"The bride and groom's wedding ceremony looks have been created by Christian Dior Haute Couture. They are designed by Jonathan Anderson, Creative Director of Dior Women's, Men's, and Haute Couture Collections, in close collaboration with the Bride and Groom. This is the designer's first couture wedding dress for a world-renowned celebrity. Their shoes were custom-made by Christian Louboutin, and the bride wore Cartier jewelry," the statement read, according to .
Photos inside the venue remained scarce and limited to what some celebrities posted, but a massive crowd of fans gathered outside. As seen in this photo, one stood outside Madison Square Garden wearing a veil. | Source: Getty Images
There was no traditional bridal party. Instead, the statement explained, Austin Swift stood in as his sister's Man of Honor, Jason Kelce served as his brother's Best Man, and the couple's friend Adam Sandler officiated the ceremony.
Details stayed locked down in the lead-up to the wedding, though one guest let a small piece slip. George Kittle of the San Francisco 49ers told Extra that attendees were told to bring "absolutely no gifts."
It was a heavily guarded, private affair, but in one of the most important arenas in New York, meaning the best and biggest stars in the business were there. | Source: Getty Images
So, with that many stars packed into one arena, a handful of individual moments were bound to become stories of their own.
Not everyone stayed for the whole night. Tom Brady was photographed leaving the reception hours before it wrapped, spotted with his head down in the back seat of a car pulling away from Madison Square Garden, according to .
He looked the part regardless, dressed in a classic black suit and tie for the occasion. Still, his expression in those photos got people talking on . "Why is he sad," one comment read, followed by another that simply stated, "He looks sad."

Someone else wrote, "Tom looks deflated," while another imagined his inner monologue: "Look at his face, what was I thinking coming here 😂." One person guessed he seemed "pissed," and another offered a more sympathetic take:
"The look on Tom's face says it all. He's reflecting. Weddings are hard when you're divorced or just looking for that same love. Good for Tom for coming to celebrate with his friends. I'm sure that wasn't easy!"
One notable absence belonged to someone with a real history with the bride. Harry Styles did not attend, even though his fiancée, Zoë Kravitz, was on the guest list per and was photographed dressed up for the occasion.
Yet, the outlet made clear the no-show had nothing to do with any lingering tension from his 2012 to 2013 relationship with Swift, a breakup rumored to have inspired his track "Two Ghosts" and one that famously resurfaced again during Swift's 2013 Grammys performance.
The real reason came down to scheduling. Styles is currently touring behind "Together, Together" and had a concert booked that same night at Wembley Stadium in London.
As for Swift and Kravitz, the two are said to get along well, with a source telling Us Weekly, "Their relationship was so long ago. Harry has moved on, and so has Taylor. They're friendly when they see each other, which isn't often but does happen occasionally. It's all in the past now."
Harry Styles performed at Wembley while on tour that Friday, and there was still no word on whether Zoë Kravitz showed up for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding. On this occasion, they were seen in New York City, New York, on March 9, 2026. | Source: Getty Images
