Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding reception reportedly came with an unexpected twist: luxury raffle prizes.
The pop superstar and NFL player tied the knot at Madison Square Garden in New York City Friday with 1,000 VIP guests present.
As details begin to emerge about the highly secretive nuptials, two guests spoke to NBC News on the condition of anonymity.
They told the outlet that attendees were invited to play games during the reception, through which they won tokens to be exchanged for raffle tickets.
The luxury raffle items, which reportedly included Cartier watches and designer bags, also featured a special part of the couple’s love story: a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS.
The classic muscle car is the model Kelce used to take Swift on their first date back in September 2023 — a moment that confirmed their romance publicly.
Finished in burgundy and sporting white racing stripes, the Chevrolet was seen rolling out of MSG’s underground parking lot Saturday with a custom “JUST&T MR” New York license plate. The couple announced their marriage with “JUST&T MARRIED” billboards outside the stadium Friday night.
Motor enthusiasts have noted a subtle difference in that Kelce’s version was a convertible, whereas the car seen leaving MSG was a hardtop, meaning the football player likely hasn’t parted with his own vehicle.
It’s unclear who won the Chevrolet, but celebrities spotted at the wedding (to name just a few), included: Hugh Grant, Dakota Johnson, Tom Hanks, Emma Stone, Selena Gomez, Ed Sheeran and his wife Cherry Seaborn, Millie Bobby Brown, Brad Pitt, Jennifer Lopez, Julianne Moore, Graham Norton, Lena Dunham, the Haim sisters, Jennifer Lawrence, Jack Antonoff, Ben Stiller, Miranda Lambert and Steven Spielberg.
Some of the star guests also performed live at the ceremony. Paul McCartney serenaded guests with the Beatles’ 1963 classic “I Want to Hold Your Hand” at the reception, People reported, while Stevie Nicks and Bon Jovi are also believed to have performed.
The huge event is said to have been planned with the help of elusive celebrity wedding planner Mark Seed, who was behind the celebrations for Swift’s frequent collaborator Jack Antonoff and his wife, actor Margaret Qualley, among others.
Meanwhile, Swift’s representative shared a few key details with The Independent immediately after the ceremony had concluded: that she chose not to have a bridal party, instead asking her brother, Austin, to be her “man of honour”. Kelce had his brother, Jason, as best man, while the couple’s ceremony was officiated by none other than comedian and actor Adam Sandler, a longtime friend and champion of Swift’s.
