America’s royal couple are officially married!

At exactly 7.30pm on Friday evening, Madison Square Garden lit up with pink neon signs that read ‘JUST&T MARRIED!’ as Taylor Swift’s publicist sent an email blast confirming the pop star exchanged vows with NFL star Travis Kelce.

The bride had her brother Austin Swift by her side as her ‘Man of Honor,’ while the groom chose his brother Jason Kelce as his ‘Best Man.’

The couple both wore custom Christian Dior Haute Couture on their big day, designer Jonathan Anderson’s first couture wedding dress for a world-renowned megastar. The bride complimented her look with Cartier jewelry and custom Christian Louboutin shoes. 

Hollywood actor Adam Sandler officiated the ceremony in front of 1,000 celebrity guests.  

Bradley Cooper kicked off the glamorous guest arrivals in a dashing tuxedo early this afternoon, while the bride prepared with best friend Gigi Hadid in her downtown Manhattan home.

Mega-watt celebrities Jay Z and Steven Spielberg jetted into the city on helicopters from the Hamptons ahead of the big bash.

Swift and Kelce partied late into the night on Thursday for their ‘rehearsal dinner’ with 100 of their closest friends, including Hadid, her partner Cooper, Selena Gomez and Jack Antonoff.

Guests started to arrive at the venue at 3.30pm ET, and city permits suggest the extravaganza could go on until 4am.

Industry experts claim the nuptials cost more than $15 million, including the venue, security, insurance, permits, catering and decorations to transform the venue into their fairytale wedding.

Taxpayers contributed over $1 million to pay for the couple’s NYPD security detail patrolling MSG, which banned the press from getting too close and threatened to arrest anyone who did not comply with street-closure rules on Thursday.

Superfans grew impatient outside of MSG this afternoon

Tempers were flaring outside Madison Square Garden as even devoted Swifties who joined the media pen said they were frustrated and disappointed – and the 100 degree temperatures were not helping.

‘I thought they’d have at least a red carpet,’ Jo Spencer, 32, of Naples, Florida told the Daily Mail. ‘I still can’t believe she isn’t going to come out for a minute. We can’t see anything.’

Spencer and a surprisingly low turnout of fans stood against metal barricades watching one black SUV with tinted windows after another turn into a black-curtained carport.

No one opened the windows to wave to fans or photographers, despite what one would think was a joyous occasion.

‘It’s actually a little depressing.’ Spencer said. ‘I’m a Swiftie through and through but I can’t believe she chose this place and that we can’t even see anything.’

Swifties eager to catch a glimpse of the big evening

There were plenty of Swifties in the crowd hoping to catch a glimpse of the Cruel Summer singer and her celebrity guests.

A small group of well-wishers even broke into an impromptu rendition of one of Taylor Swift’s earliest hits Love Story as guests continued to file into the venue.

But not everyone was happy to celebrate Swift and Kelce’s special day.

A silent lone masked protester made a ‘Swift’ exit after wielding a bizarre sign with the message: ‘From dating minors to tax write offs, to contributing to the Climate Crisis to overtaking electricity during a deadly heatwave for your future divorce… You Truly are a Monster Taylor Swift.’
