Newlywed stars Taylor Swift (36) and Travis Kelce (36) attended the wedding of Kelce's former football colleague JuJu Smith-Schuster to Laura Kruk on Friday. The couple appeared elegant and in high spirits. The singer also gave a first glimpse of her wedding ring.
Swift and Kelce celebrate exuberantly
The newlyweds arrived hand in hand at the ceremony at the Ritz-Carlton in Orange County, California, as reported by "People" among others. Swift wore a strapless floral dress for the celebration, which is the "Laila" design by Markarian for around $4,100. Kelce appeared in a charcoal-colored suit. At their first public appearance as a married couple, the pop star showed other guests her new jewelry, as evidenced by paparazzi photos published by US media. The prominent wedding guests were also photographed dancing and drinking champagne.
However, the celebration wasn't just about toasting. According to reports, several games were available for guests where they could win prizes. The prizes included designer bags and even a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle. Incidentally, this particular car model plays a role in Swift and Kelce's love story: the football player drove the singer away in such a vehicle after her first Chiefs game in September 2023.
High costs for security measures
The appearance at the wedding came just seven days after the couple's own big moment. On July 3, Swift and Kelce tied the knot at New York's Madison Square Garden in front of 1,000 guests. The ceremony was officiated by actor Adam Sandler. Swift's brother Austin served as "Man of Honor", while Kelce's brother Jason was the best man. Display boards outside the arena subsequently announced the successful exchange of vows. The entire wedding reportedly cost several million dollars. As was just revealed, the bride and groom paid more than $160,000 to the City of New York for security measures around Madison Square Garden alone.
