Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s star-studded wedding was such a party that Jason Kelce joked guests had to be “kicked out” of Madison Square Garden when the night finally came to an end.
More than a month after Travis and Swift tied the knot, the Kelce brothers detailed the over-the-top celebration on their “New Heights” podcast, spilling behind-the-scenes details about the couple’s ultra-private big day for the first time publicly.
“They kicked us out,” Jason quipped after Travis admitted the night went by in the “blink of an eye.”

Travis quickly revealed what really happened, explaining that guests began filtering out once the drinks stopped flowing.
“Well, they stopped – once the drinks stopped being served, everyone kind of just starts to, you know, mosey out,” Travis said.
Despite packing the iconic New York City venue with everyone from childhood friends to A-list stars, Travis said he and Swift wanted their wedding to feel surprisingly intimate.

“We wanted to do it somewhere where we could have a very intimate and genuine setting without a lot of distractions,” he said. “We needed it to be a private feel.”
Travis said MSG “went above and beyond” to pull off their vision – but he saved a particularly emotional thank-you for Adam Sandler.
“He has been just the f—ing best person on this planet. And for him to be up for getting ordained in the state of New York and marrying me and Taylor in the way he did it. In the very, you know, Sandman style and giving us more than we could have ever imagined in that moment, knowing that it was the biggest night of both of our lives. It was, it was absolutely insane, man.”
Swift and Kelce married on July 3 in front of 1,000 guests at Madison Square Garden, a representative for the pop star told Fox News Digital. The two opted not to have a traditional wedding party, instead choosing to have Swift’s brother as her “Man of Honor” and Kelce’s brother as his “Best Man.”

Swift’s rep revealed the couple’s wedding ceremony looks were designed by Jonathan Anderson of Christian Dior Haute Couture. The “Life of a Showgirl” singer accessorized with Cartier and Christian Louboutin heels.
“It was a joy to work with her,” Anderson told WWD after the nuptials. “We became very good friends. It’s an emotional thing doing someone’s wedding.”
The guest list may have read like a Hollywood awards show, but some of the biggest surprises came from much closer to home.

Jason recalled watching Brad Pitt hug Conan O’Brien and spotting Paul McCartney among the crowd – only to get particularly excited when he recognized a familiar face from his past.
“I saw Brad Pitt hugging Conan O’Brien, I see Paul McCartney and then, all of a sudden, I see, f–k, Mrs. Clark,” Jason said. “And I’m like, ‘What in the world?'”
For Travis, the unlikely mix of Hollywood heavyweights and longtime family friends was exactly what made the night so special.
“It was so cool to see how everybody interacted,” he said, explaining that people from his childhood mingled with Swift’s family, childhood friends and people the couple had met throughout their careers.

“It was so cool seeing everyone from my childhood not only mesh with Taylor and her childhood and her family and friends,” Travis said, along with “people that she works with” and others the couple had come to know and admire throughout their careers.
The phone-free celebration helped break down those barriers, according to Travis.
“With no phones comes … people not having to be on guard … It makes everyone be in the moment and be present,” the NFL star added.
