Travis Kelce Finally Reveals Why He, Taylor Swift Chose MSG for Wedding

Travis Kelce is tackling a new venture.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end bought a newly-renovated mansion in Ohio just four months before tying the knot with Taylor Swift in July, according to multiple outlets.

In March, Travis closed on the lakefront property in Bratenahl—not far from the city of Cleveland Heights where he and brother Jason Kelce grew up—for $5.35 million, according to The Wall Street Journal, who obtained property records and spoke to people familiar with the deal.

The property sits on 3.5 acres along the edge of Lake Erie, according to the property records.

And in addition to being located near a private airport, the listing viewed by WSJ revealed the 21,000 square foot home has eight bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, a game room and home theater.

Following Travis’ purchase, David Ayers and Nick Zawitz of The Agency Cleveland, who brokered the sale, told WSJ in a Sept. 1 statement, “We’re thrilled for the new owners and so excited for Cleveland.”

E! News has reached out to a rep for Travis for comment but has not yet heard back.

Of course, a new home isn’t the only update in the NFL star’s life. Indeed, he and Taylor recently grew their family with the addition of their new white Samoyed Wendy, who joins the Grammy winner’s three cats.

Not to mention the couple got married in a lavish private wedding at New York City’s Madison Square Garden on July 3.

“It was insane,” Travis said on the Sept. 2 episode of his New Heights podcast. “It was a night we’ll never forget. Me and Taylor are so thankful for everybody that showed up.”

Reflecting on the night, he added, “From the vows to the seeing everyone to how much fun we had throughout the entire evening, and hearing that being relayed through everyone’s stories of that night—it was just so magical man, I wish it could have lasted longer than it did.”

What did Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce wear for their wedding?

While Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s official wedding photos have not yet been released, the couple was confirmed to have been dressed to the nines in Christian Dior Haute Couture designed by Jonathan Anderson, who took over as creative director for the fashion house in 2025. It marked the designer’s first time designing a dress for a world-renowned celebrity.

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.

Who was in Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding party?

While the rumors flew as to who from Swift’s squad would make it onto the altar with her, both the Grammy winner and her now-husband opted to skip the traditional wedding party. Instead, Swift had her brother Austin Swift act as her Man of Honor, while Kelce tapped his brother Jason Kelce to be his Best Man.

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.”

Who attended Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding?

There was quite the evergreen group of friends that stepped out at Madison Square Garden to see Swift and Kelce say “I do.” Seriously, the guest list was over 1,000 people.

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.

Who didn’t attend Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding?

Considering these nuptials simply hit different, it’s hard to believe any guest would decline on their RSVP. However, stars including Ryan Seacrest, Zoë’s fiancé (and Swift’s ex) Harry Styles and Swift’s former BFF Jaime King, whose son Leo Thames is one of Swift’s godchildren, had to skip the ceremony for their own reasons, emphasizing no bad blood.

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.

What have guests said about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding?

Despite the large scale of the wedding, guests have overwhelmingly emphasized the intimate feel of Swift and Kelce’s ceremony.

“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.”
