0:03 Kalarrocashock Media. As of eight o'clock New York time, we can finally say it, and we can say it for real. It is official. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelcey are married. Not reportedly, not according to sources confirmed on the record by. Taylor's own team. After months of speculation, a lockdown arena and an entire city brought to a standstill, the wedding of the century actually happened tonight at Madison Square Garden. Welcome to a special bulletin. Here is exactly where things stand as the biggest night in pop culture unfolds behind a very very closed curtain.

0:47 Let's get into it. Let's start with the words everyone was waiting for. At seven point thirty four this evening, Taylor Swift's longtime publicist Tree Payne confirmed in a statement that Taylor and Travis are married. That is the same publicists who confirmed their twenty six million dollar charity donation earlier this week. So when that name puts out a statement, it is the real deal. This is the first official, on the record word from Taylor's own camp that the deed is done. And here's the very tailor part of it. Even now we still do not know exactly when the vows happened. Reports all week suggested the couple may have legally tied the knot before tonight, with today's event as the grand celebration.

1:32 The statement settles the big question. They are married, while leaving all the little mysteries perfectly intact. She controlled this story from the very first rumor to the final confirmation, and she did not give up a single detail. She did not want to give mastermind behavior right to the end. Now the guest list, because the arrivals turned Midtown Manhattan into the met Gala's more secretive cousin for hours. Black SUVs rolled up to a curtain tent outside the garden, and the names that stepped out were staggering. Let's run it. Jennifer Lopez, ed Sheeran with his wife Cherry Seaborn, Bradley Cooper arriving with Gigi Hadid, who wore a floor length pink sparkler, Gwen Stefani, Hugh Grant in a tux with his wife, Jason Sudeikis, Mariska hargatea Camila Cabello, Benson Boone, who opened for the Eras tour, turning up in orange tinted shades, and Jenny Hahn, the author behind all those summer love stories, which honestly feels perfect for the night.

2:37 A strong breeze even did the photographers a favor when a gust blew the privacy curtain back to reveal a very cheerful Jimmy Fallon heading inside the sports world showed up in force two NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, Cooper Cup Chief star Chris Jones, former Chief Isaiah Pacheco, who strolled in on foot, soccer legend, and Abby Wambach with her wife, author Glennon Doyle and their ties to Taylor Run Deep. Swift once brought Wambach. On stage during the nineteen eighty nine tour and has credited Doyle's writing with helping her through the pandemic and of course, what looked like nearly the entire Kansas City Chief's roster. One name raised eyebrows. Carly Kloss was spotted heading in, and given how much the two had reportedly drifted apart over the years, plenty of fans read her presence as a quiet reunion.

3:32 Read into that what you will. As for the wedding party, they slipped in early and out of sight. But Taylor's childhood best friend, Abigail Anderson Barrard, was seen leaving her hotel in a floral corset, which just might be our first clue to the bride'smaid's look. And here is the thing that made tonight feel enormous. The whole city leaned in the Empire State Building is glowing blue tonight, and yes, they called it her something Blue. Down in the subway, the Madison Square garden station was dressed in Lover album branding, with a sign reading congrats on Forever. Thirteen plus eighty seven equals one hundred. That is Taylor's number thirteen in Travis's number eighty seven, adding up to a perfect hundred. Even the Mayor joined in with Zorin Mom Donnie sharing his top twelve Taylor Swift songs in a playlist to mark the day out on the street.

4:28 The fans were heroic. It hit thirty eight degrees celsius today, that is over one hundred fahrenheit, and it felt hotter. Still, and they came anyway. Swifty's climbed city scaffolding for a better view made special team bride friendship bracelets wore wedding veils and tribute and cheered for anyone who walked past, including at one point some very entertained emergency responders. One lone jokester held up a sign that simply read day single, not everybody Loves Love and a fun little mystery from across the pond. BBC Radio One host Greg James, who Taylor personally invited to the wedding live on his show last year, went suspiciously quiet today. He missed his own breakfast show, his voicemail was changed to a Taylor Swift song, and then he posted a photo of a woman in a gown and a man in formal shoes. The plot, as they say, thickens don't go anywhere when we come back, the music legends reportedly serenading the newlyweds, and why we still might not see a single photo from inside until Taylor herself decides we can stay with us.

5:52 All right, we are back. Let's talk about the entertainment. Because a Taylor Swift wedding is. Going to have a soundtrack for the age, All signs point to Stevie Nicks. The New York Times reported that Swift and Nicks had a sound check inside the garden earlier today, and a worker was overheard saying the two would perform together tonight. So that one looks close to a lock. The second name is where the reports get gloriously tangled, which by now is just how this whole week works. Some outlets say country icon Tim McGraw, the artist Taylor named her very first single after all the way back when she was a teenager in Nashville. Others, including the BBC, are floating none other than Paul McCartney a beadle at the wedding.

6:40 We cannot confirm which. And in a week where every outlet has reported something different every single day, we would not have it any other way. Stevie Nicks and a mystery legend perfect. Now Here is the reality check, and it is a big one. For all the stars and all the spectacle. You and I may not see a single frame from inside that arena to TI No phones were allowed, Guests signed stacks of NDA's crews put up black screens so the public could not even watch people walking in. As one reporter on the scene put it, whatever Taylor wants us to see, we will see, and that is the entire point. This footage belongs to her, So the real reveal, the dress, the vows. The first dance comes only when she chooses to release it on her terms, and almost certainly as beautifully packaged as everything else she touches. The reception is expected to run into the early hours of Saturday. We just will not be in the room for it. So here is where we stand.

7:44 Tonight. They are married. It is confirmed. A thousand of the most famous people alive are celebrating inside a sealed off Madison Square garden. An entire city shut down and showed up in triple digit heat, and somewhere in there, Stevie Nix may be singing to the newlyweds.
