During this NFL offseason, Travis Kelce marked one item off his “Wi$h Li$t,” marrying Taylor Swift.
“It was a fun offseason, man,” Kelce told reporters on Wednesday, as he returned to the practice field ahead of his 14th season. “Wedding was the best night of my life, and I appreciate everybody who came out and celebrated and had fun with us.”
Kelce and Swift married on July 3 at Madison Square Garden in an emotional ceremony officiated by Adam Sandler. Her brother Austin Swift served as Swift’s man of honor while Jason Kelce was Kelce’s best man. Julia Roberts, Ed Sheeran, Jack Antonoff, Tom Hanks, Zoë Kravitz, Steven Spielberg, AMC Theatres CEO Adam Aron, Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid were among their more than 1,000 guests. Paul McCartney and Stevie Nicks performed at the reception.
“It was a crazy night. It was full of a lot of celebration,” Kelce added.
The NFL star also shared that it was his “childhood dream” to go to Madison Square Garden.
“I always told myself I’d go for a playoff game when the [New York] Knicks were rocking,” he said. “My wife went when I was stuck in training camp. I didn’t get my opportunity to go then.” (In June, Swift sat courtside as the Knicks completed the largest comeback in NBA Finals history.)
“It was cool to live out my childhood dream of being in that venue, the mecca of all sports venues,” Kelce continued. “To be able get married there. I thanked the owners of MSG for allowing us to get the opportunity to do that, knowing that we wanted a private event, and it was perfect.”
