Pop star Taylor Swift and National Football League player Travis Kelce reportedly tied the knot before their grand wedding bash at Madison Square Garden. According to Page Six report, the beloved couple exchanged vows in front of a “tiny group of loved ones.”
Multiple sources familiar with the matter informed the news outlet that “Tayvis” said “I do” in private which makes them officially Mr and Mrs Kelce. This development comes ahead of the Friday celebrations in New York. Although no information about the exact date of their nuptials is available but the report noted that Swift’s private jet made a series of intriguing stops on Sunday in cities where the couple’s closest family members live.
The report further mentions that Swift's private jet recently spent time in Nashville, the city where she lived early in her career, citing a website that tracks ‘Love Story’ singer's private jet. After departing from Nashville, the aircraft made a stop in Philadelphia, where Kelce’s father, Ed, lives, and is also home to Kelce’s older brother Jason.
Before heading back to New York City, the aircraft made stops in Tampa, where Swift’s father, Scott, resides, followed by Nashville — where it stayed until 30 June.
Amid speculation that the couple tied the knot in Tennessee in a small ceremony, the outlet's enquiry with security insiders at Manhattan’s’ City Clerk’s Office revealed that there had been no sign of a Swift license within recent days. Since New York State wedding licenses have a 24-hour waiting period before a civil ceremony, a source informed the outlet that they received no update on the matter. A New York State marriage license which is valid for 60 days can be obtained by paying $35 fee.
Ahead of the grand celebration on 3 July, the couple donated $26 million to several charities in the city and elsewhere this week, “Cruel Summer” singer's publicity team said on Thursday.
