Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are officially married.
The announcement was made at 7.30pm on Friday on ad billboards at Madison Square Garden which read: ‘JusT&T married’.
At the same time, Swift’s long-serving publicist Tree Paine sent an email blast to journalists detailing the event – and what the bride wore.
‘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,’ Paine wrote.
‘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.
‘Taylor & Travis did not have bridesmaids or groomsmen. Instead, her brother Austin Swift served as Taylor’s Man of Honor and Jason Kelce was Travis’ Best Man. The ceremony joined both families together and was officiated by friend Adam Sandler.’
Swift is expected to perform for her new husband at the reception alongside music icons Stevie Nicks and Paul McCartney.

An insider told The New York Times it cost the couple between $1.2 million and $1.6 million to book out Madison Square Garden for two days.
Insurance would cost over $10,000, Erica Maurer, a partner at EMRG Media, told the newspaper.
Lighting, sound, catering, flowers, decorations and labor could cost between $10 million and $12 million, The Times suggested, while adding that their estimate was a very conservative one.
Permit fees for the two-day affair would likely cost at least $132,000 based on the city’s permitting office rates.
It would also cost taxpayers over $1 million to have hundreds of police officers providing security and patrolling MSG.
But it’s no surprise the singer would go all out for her big day.
Weddings have been a constant subject in Swift’s songs since she was a teenager, and her actually walking the aisle for the first time at age 36 adds to the drama.
It would also be a first marriage for the 36-year-old three-time Super Bowl champ Kelce, who could have been one of the jock characters in Swift’s early hits.

Swift’s marriage to Kelce comes after a string of high-profile failed relationships – including with British actor Joe Alwyn, and singers John Mayer and Harry Styles – which became fodder for her songs.
She and Kelce started dating in 2023 and got engaged two years later after a very public whirlwind romance.
The couple announced their engagement last August in an Instagram post captioned: ‘Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.’
The 14-time Grammy winner is coming off a banner year with the success of her album The Life of a Showgirl, induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame and a new song on the Toy Story 5 soundtrack.
Kelce has signed on for a 14th season in the National Football League.
