Travis Kelce’s tears ricocheted when he sawTaylor Swift.
While the newlyweds—who married on July 3 at Madison Square Garden in New York City—have kept mum about their nuptials, their guests have given fans small glimpses at the festivities.
In fact, sports commentatorJoe Buckis taking us back to the time when the “Speak Now” singer walked down the aisle.
“Travis was a puddle watching his nieces come down the little ramp that they built,” Buck revealed during the July 25 episode of theStarkvillepodcast. “And then, you know, when [Swift] walked out, he was a puddle.”
Buck, 57, also confirmed that the couple’s vows had been lengthy but struck all the right notes, echoing fellow guestGeorge Stephanopoulos’retelling of the exchange.
“Their vows were long,” Buck detailed. “They were really well written. They were funny. They were sweet. They were emotional.”
But admittedly, his favorite part of the night aside from the “I dos” had to be rubbing shoulders with Kelce and Swift’sstar-studded guest list, which boasted nearly 1,000 names. In fact, Buck said he enjoyed a 20-minute conversation withTom Cruisebefore enjoying the reception with other celebs.

“When they took everybody’s phone and everybody could relax and I’m standing next toBeck, who’s an artist I love,” he continued, “and it’sMichelle[Beisner-Buck, Buck’s wife since 2014], me, Beck, whoever he was with, watchingPaul McCartneysinging ‘I Want to Hold Your Hand’ for the first time publicly since 1964. It was a pinch yourself kind of night.”
Indeed, theMonday Night Footballannouncer did pinch himself when he looked at the guests he was seated near, which includedBrad Pitt,Scarlett Johansson,Hugh GrantandTom Hanks.
“I’m like what in the hell am I doing here?” Buck joked. “And they have got to be looking at me like, ‘Who is that?’”

The pair also each wore custom Christian Louboutin shoes. And Swift didn’t trade the Cartier for someone to trust, opting to sport accessories made by the jeweler.
As for who was heard saying speak now or forever hold your peace? Adam Sandler stepped in to be the couple’s officiant. The comedian is, along with his family, a longtime Swiftie and has been a guest on the New Heights podcast. Kelce also made a cameo appearance in Happy Gilmore 2, which Swift rated “13/10” and called “an absolute must watch.”
On Swift’s side, her longtime friends including Abigail Anderson Berard, Selena Gomez and her husband Benny Blanco, Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper, Ed Sheeran and wife Cherry Seaborn, Lena Dunham, Jack Antonoff, Zoë Kravitz, Ashley Avignone and Karlie Kloss could all be voted best dressed, fearless.
Meanwhile, Kelce had nearly every guy on the Chiefs take part in his special day, including quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his wife Brittany Mahomes, as well as former teammate Mecole Hardman Jr. and his fiancée Chariah Gordon. Chiefs coach Andy Reid, as well as owners Clark Hunt and Tavia Hunt, were also on the wedding’s lineup.
But the gue$t li$t didn’t end there. The couple was supported by stars from all phases of life, including Good Morning America anchors Robin Roberts and George Stephanopoulos, plus actors and musicians like Jason Sudeikis, Kesha, Machine Gun Kelly, Gracie Abrams, Maren Morris and the list goes on for evermore.
Meanwhile, Garret “Jacknife” Lee—who co-produced Swift’s “The Last Time”—thought his invite was too good to be true. His wife Melissa Garner Lee revealed in an op-ed that her husband told her he’d received “a text” from Swift’s manager inviting the couple to her nuptials, but ignored it thinking it was spam.
Swift’s “Snow on the Beach” duet partner Lana Del Rey, for her part, also opted for a low-key weekend, skipping the nuptials in favor of hosting a friend’s birthday, which she confirmed on Instagram.
Among other stars who were formerly in Swift and Kelce’s inner circle but did not make their white veil occasion include Dianna Agron, Keleigh Sperry Teller and Miles Teller, as well as Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds. Although the stars were previously thick as thieves with Swift and Kelce, it appears a frost has arisen amid the friendships.
“It was as intimate as it possibly could be given it was Madison Square Garden,” Stephanapoulos said during a GMA segment July 4. “It was really this garden inside the Garden, which was so beautiful. It’s hard to imagine a place that big, and a wedding with such stars, could feel so personal and so intimate.”
