The White House trolled pop superstar Taylor Swift and football star Travis Kelce as the pair tied the knot in a star-studded ceremony on Friday. The couple wed at Madison Square Garden in midtown Manhattan nearly three years after first meeting. A spokesperson for Swift confirmed the nuptials, revealing the ceremony was officiated by comedy legend Adam Sandler. At approximately 7:20 p.m. ET, screens outside the venue displayed a celebratory message reading "JUST&T MARRIED!"
White House Trolls the Newlyweds
Taking to Instagram, the official White House account took a swipe at the couple with a parody of the digital billboards, posting an image that replaced their happy news with the words "Trump Is Your President." They captioned it: "It's happened!!!" This was the second time Trump had trolled the glamorous newlyweds. On Thursday, the account posted a video clip of all-American images like Iwo Jima and the Miracle on Ice, dominated by an image of Trump, beneath the caption of America's Eras Tour—a parody of Swift's poster for her 2023 concert spectacular.
Swift Breaks Tradition
Despite a plethora of famous female friends, Swift eschewed bridesmaids. Instead, her brother Austin Swift acted as her man of honor. Meanwhile, Kelce's best man was his older brother, NFL veteran Jason Kelce. Images of the eagerly anticipated wedding looks have yet to be released, but it was confirmed that Swift wore a custom haute couture gown by Jonathan Anderson of Christian Dior. Kelce also wore a haute couture look by Anderson for Dior. The event marked a first for the designer, who had never designed a couture wedding dress for a celebrity of Swift's stature before. Both the bride and groom wore Christian Louboutin shoes, and Swift donned Cartier jewelry.
Celebrity Guests and Charitable Donations
The wedding took place at 5 p.m. ET (9 p.m. UK time) on Friday, and according to a copy of a city permit, the reception was set to run until as late as 4 a.m. ET on Saturday. Among the plethora of stars spotted arriving for the lavish affair were Ed Sheeran, Jessica Chastain, Dakota Johnson, Jason Sudeikis, Benson Boone, Hugh Grant, Kelsea Ballerini, Camila Cabello, Ethan Hawke, Zoë Kravitz, Mariska Hargitay, and Ellie Goulding. BBC talk show host Graham Norton was also spotted, as was Bradley Cooper and girlfriend Gigi Hadid. Other guests were shrouded in secrecy as their black cars drove into a large white tent, the entrance marked by black curtains that shielded them from prying eyes. On Thursday, Swift's team shared that she and Kelce had made charitable donations of $26 million to more than a dozen organizations ahead of their wedding.
