Written by: Adel Khelifi on July 6, 2026

It is now confirmed. Pop star Taylor Swift and American football player Travis Kelce are married, announced by the singer’s spokesperson, confirming rumors that had been circulating for weeks.

At the same time as her statement was sent to the media, the message “JUST&T MARRIED” (“Just Married,” a pun on the couple’s initials) appeared on the Madison Square Garden billboard displays.

While no wedding images have yet been released, it is the artist’s brother, Austin Swift, and the athlete’s brother, Jason Kelce, who served as witnesses.

The couple were dressed by Jonathan Anderson for Christian Dior and wore Christian Louboutin shoes. The bride wore Cartier jewelry, the Taylor Swift spokesperson also said.

Age 36, Taylor Swift topped global music sales in 2025 for the fourth consecutive year and the sixth time in her career, according to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI). Travis Kelce, also 36, has won three Super Bowls with the Kansas City Chiefs, in 2019, 2022 and 2023. The couple made their relationship public two years ago and became engaged in August 2025.

The cost of the festivities is unknown, but Forbes magazine estimates it exceeds $20 million. The couple donated $26 million to various American charities on the occasion, according to Taylor Swift’s spokesperson. The press reports that most guests are bound by confidentiality agreements and all are prohibited from using mobile phones.

Parts of the day, the streets surrounding Madison Square Garden were closed, under the watch of a large police presence.
