Summary
- Taylor Swift paid over $160,000 for her wedding permit.
- The payment covered permit costs and police overtime responses.
- The event took place at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Taylor Swift personally funded the extensive city costs for her wedding to Travis Kelce, which was held at Madison Square Garden. Mayor Zohran Mamdani confirmed that Swift paid over $160,000 to cover the permit for the event and the substantial police overtime response required.
The marriage ceremony took place on July 3rd and saw a guest list of a thousand attendees. While not as extensive as NBA finals security, the police deployment was significant for the two-day festivities, including a rehearsal dinner.
Reports initially speculated the wedding was filmed for a release, but this has been denied. Details of the event remain private, with no photos allowed inside the venue, leaving fans to rely on guest-shared content.
