The NFL star spoke about his big day for the first time during the Kansas City Chiefs’ training camp
Travis Kelce has shared his first comments about his wedding to Taylor Swift.
“It was a fun off-season. The wedding was the best night of my life,” the NFL star said when asked about his off-season during a media event at the Kansas City Chiefs’ training camp. “I appreciate everyone who came out and celebrated and had fun with us .. It was a crazy night. It was full of a lot of celebration,” he added.
The wedding, held on July 3 at Madison Square Garden, was a star-studded event with nearly 1,000 guests of A-list celebrities and athletes. Music icons Paul McCartney and Stevie Nicks attended, and performed, at the wedding while Adam Sandler officiated the ceremony. The guest list was so stacked, it even included some head-scratching attendees.
Kelce also spoke about the significance of holding the big blowout wedding at New York’s esteemed venue. “I always told myself I’d go for a playoff game when the Knicks were rocking. My wife went when I was stuck in mini camp, so I didn’t get my opportunity to go then,” the tight end said, referring to Swift’s appearance at Game 4 of the NBA Finals.
“It’s kinda cool to be able to live out my childhood dream of being in that venue, the mecca of all sports venues, being able to get married there,” Kelce added. He made a point to thank “the owners of MSG” for letting the power couple hold their nuptials at the venue, “knowing we wanted a private event and everything,” confirming the main motivation behind the much-discussed venue choice was privacy.
