What Donna Kelce, celeb guests have said about Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift's wedding

Mother of the groom Donna Kelce and more celebrity attendees are opening up about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's Madison Square Garden nuptials last week.

One day after the July 3 wedding, which saw a flurry of high-profile celebrities converge in the iconic New York City venue to celebrate the music icon and NFL star, Donna Kelce appeared in a Macy's social media video and briefly described her son's wedding.

"I really can't say a heck of a lot except it was magical, man, magical," Donna Kelce said in the video, answering a submitted question about the wedding.

Swift and Travis Kelce wed in a ceremony officiated by actor and comedian Adam Sandler, a representative for Swift confirmed to ABC News on Friday.

Author Glennon Doyle and her wife, former U.S. soccer player Abby Wambach, also shared a photo on Instagram on Sunday revealing their wedding guest looks and celebrating the ceremony.

In the caption, Doyle offered well-wishes for Travis Kelce and Swift. Doyle also responded to a commenter's question, asking if the event was "fabulous."

"Yes. And tender. And somehow so big yet so… small," she wrote. "Intentional, real. So much joy. And I can say without hyperbole that I've never witnessed a happier bride or groom."

Director and Swift collaborator Joseph Kahn, known for his music videos, shared details about the event on Instagram, saying he even got to speak with Steven Spielberg and his wife, Kate Capshaw.

"What I will say about the wedding was it was so much funnier and emotional than expected, and as big as it was, it also felt very intimate. And yes, literally everyone was there," he added, before sending well-wishes to the newlyweds.

Singer Kelsea Ballerini referenced a Swift song to commemorate the event, while sharing her look from the night — an olive green strapless gown — on X.

"Long live a love story," she wrote. "Congrats on the most beautiful wedding @taylorswift13 @tkelce i'm still crying and dancing."

Harry Styles has officially broken the record for longest residency by a musician at London’s Wembley Stadium during a single run.

He achieved the milestone after completing his 12th consecutive show at the venue on Saturday, July 4, for his Together, Together tour.

Guinness World Records and Wembley Stadium posted a photo of Harry and his tour team accepting the world record certificate.

“Record-breaking moments are rarely achieved alone, and this is a true example of what we mean when we say everyone can be part of it,” the post reads. “Congratulations, Harry and team.”

While on stage Saturday, Harry took a moment to thank his One Direction bandmates. 

“I wouldn’t be on this stage if it wasn’t for four friends of mine that were a massive part of this journey," he said. "I wanna thank Niall [Horan], Louis [Tomlinson], Zayn [Malik] and my dear friend Liam [Payne] for these nights and everything that I learned in this time, the friendship, everything."

Harry’s older sister, Gemma Styles, also joined him on stage to commemorate the historic run.

“I’m so proud of you,” she said. “And not just proud because you’ve done things like this, which nobody does. I’m proud of who you are, and who you allow other people to be and the impact that you have on so many, not least on the ones who get to love you in real life and what a privilege that is.”

On Monday, July 6, Wembley Stadium posted a highlight video of night 12, which also included a Pride celebration and the unveiling of a banner for the record-setting residency.

Harry heads to Brazil next for four nights at Estadio Morumbis in São Paulo, starting on July 17.

'GMA' anchors describe Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce wedding

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce managed to transform Madison Square Garden -- a 19,500 person arena -- into an "intimate" and "personal" wedding venue filled with people they love, according to the Good Morning America co-anchors, who all attended Friday's wedding.

"It really was intimate," Robin Roberts said Saturday on a special July Fourth edition of GMA, later adding, "They had their neighbors, their high school friends. It was like any wedding that you would attend."

Roberts said that Swift and Kelce wrote their own vows, with George Stephanopoulos adding that the couple's vows were written in "little books."

"It was their dream wedding and it really was amazing," Michael Strahan said about the ceremony, which was reported to have been attended by around 1,000 guests.

Swift and Kelce have not commented on details about their wedding. A representative for Swift confirmed in a statement to ABC News Friday that the couple wed in a ceremony in New York City officiated by actor and comedian Adam Sandler.

Swift's brother, Austin, served as her "man of honor," while Kelce's brother, Jason, served as his best man. They were the only members of the wedding party, according to the rep.

Swift and Kelce's wedding celebration Friday was scheduled to take place from 4 p.m. to 4 a.m., sources previously told ABC News.

Stephanopoulos said that the couple turned MSG, home to the New York Knicks and Rangers, into a garden of its own.

"[It was] as intimate as it could possibly be given that it was Madison Square Garden. Really this garden inside the Garden. Just so beautiful," he said. "It’s hard to imagine that a place that big and a wedding with such stars could feel so personal and so intimate."

Roberts added of the transformation of MSG, "You couldn't recognize it."

In addition to Roberts, Stephanopoulos and Strahan, other guests at the wedding were said to have included Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper, Benson Boone, Ethan Hawke, Abby Wambach, Jason Sudeikis and NFL stars including Matthew Stafford, Baker Mayfield, Cooper Kupp and Kelce's Kansas City Chiefs teammates.

Roberts also revealed that music legend Stevie Nicks performed.

Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce are married: All the details

Music superstar Taylor Swift and NFL star Travis Kelce are officially husband and wife.

The couple wed in a ceremony officiated by Adam Sandler, a representative for Swift confirmed to ABC News Friday.

Swift's brother, Austin Swift, served as her "man of honor," while Kelce's brother, Jason Kelce, served as his best man. They were the only members of the wedding party, according to the rep.

Both the bride and groom wore custom looks by Dior, with the bride wearing a haute couture gown designed by Jonathan Anderson.

No official wedding photos have been released by the couple, who held a two-day wedding celebration at Madison Square Garden said to include more than 1,000 guests.

Celebrities including actors Hugh Grant, Ethan Hawke and Jason Sudeikis, singer Benson Boone, soccer legend Abby Wambach and NFL stars Chris Jones and Cooper Kupp were photographed arriving at MSG late Friday afternoon in black-tie attire as a cocktail hour was scheduled to begin, sources familiar with the plans told ABC News.

On Thursday evening, Swift and Kelce held a smaller gathering at the arena for around 100 people, sources said.

An SUV with tinted windows believed to be transporting Swift was photographed arriving at MSG around 5 p.m. on Thursday.

For both events, a strict no-phone policy was in place for everyone inside the venue, including guests, vendors and security personnel, according to sources.

Representatives for Swift or Kelce did not confirm any details about the events.

On Thursday, just hours before their first reported event at MSG, a representative for Swift confirmed to ABC News that she and Kelce had donated $26 million to charities both in New York City and across the United States.

The "Shake It Off" singer and Kansas City Chiefs tight end announced their engagement last August in a social media post that included photos of Kelce's flower-filled proposal and a close-up of Swift's old-mine brilliant–cut diamond ring, which ABC News confirmed was custom-designed by Kelce and jeweler Kindred Lubeck of Artifex Fine Jewelry in New York City.

The couple's romance began in the summer of 2023, when Kelce revealed on his New Heights podcast that he'd unsuccessfully tried to give Swift a friendship bracelet with his phone number during one of her Eras Tour concerts.

Swift later told TIME she found the gesture "metal as hell," and the two started spending time together soon after.

By November 2023, Kelce confirmed their relationship in an interview with WSJ. Magazine, praising Swift's ability to handle intense public scrutiny.

Swift, meanwhile, revealed in her December 2023 TIME Person of the Year interview that the couple had enjoyed private time together before going public.

"We actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I'm grateful for, because we got to get to know each other," she said at the time.

Throughout their relationship, the pair have been each other's biggest supporters, with Swift attending Chiefs games, including Super Bowl LVIII and Super Bowl LIX, and Kelce cheering Swift on at numerous Eras Tour stops, even joining her onstage during her London show in June 2024.

Sparks are flying for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, whose second wedding event is reportedly being held today at Madison Square Garden, sources familiar with the plans told ABC News.

The event today is slated to take place around 4 p.m. beginning with a cocktail hour. One thousand people are expected to be in attendance at the event, which isn't scheduled to end until 4 a.m. Saturday morning, sources told ABC News earlier this week.

On Thursday, an SUV with tinted windows believed to be transporting Swift was spotted arriving at MSG around 5 p.m., according to a photo released by Reuters.

Swift and Kelce were scheduled to hold an event at the arena beginning at 6 p.m. for around 100 people, sources previously said.

For both events, a strict no-phone policy is in place for everyone inside the venue, including guests, vendors and security personnel, according to sources.

Representatives for Swift or Kelce have not confirmed any details about the events.

Outside of MSG, home to the New York Knicks, the New York Police Department has put around one dozen street closures in place over Thursday and Friday because of the events.

In addition, access to Moynihan Train Hall and Penn Station, where travelers catch Amtrak and commuter trains, is also being limited, the NYPD said Thursday.

Leading up to this week, there had been growing reports that the couple may tie the knot around the Fourth of July holiday, but neither Swift nor Kelce had confirmed any details publicly.

On Thursday, just hours before their first reported event at MSG, a representative for Swift confirmed to ABC News that she and Kelce had donated $26 million to charities both in New York City and across the United States.

The "Shake It Off" singer and Kansas City Chiefs tight end announced their engagement in August last year, after first sparking speculation about their relationship in the fall of 2023.

Myles Smith talks opening for Ed Sheeran while also doing his own shows: 'I love both experiences'

Myles Smith will start pulling double duty in North America on July 3. In addition to opening for Ed Sheeran on the LOOP stadium tour, he'll be headlining his own shows in support of his new album, My Mess, My Heart, My Life. Myles says what he's doing in front of Ed's crowd won't be the same as what he has planned for fans coming out to see him specifically.

"They're two completely different experiences. Supporting Ed means walking out in front of, what, like, tens of thousands of people every night," he laughs. "And introducing yourself to a lot of people for like the very first time."

"And my headline shows, I mean, to me, they are so much more intimate, because everyone in the room already knows the songs and the stories behind them," he adds.

Of course, both shows will include the hits, like "Stargazing" and "Nice to Meet You," and possibly a cover or two.

"Honestly I love both experiences because they challenge me in different ways," he says. "And both of them offer me so many different things. And yeah, it's super special." 

Myles is set to open for Ed through Aug. 29 in Detroit, while his own shows will wrap up Sept. 10 in Atlanta. He'll then head to Europe and the U.K. for more headlining shows.

Not invited to Taylor Swift's nuptials? Party at the Swifties Wedding Celebration instead

If your electronic invite — and NDA — for Taylor Swift's reported wedding in New York City got lost in the cloud somewhere, you can still celebrate the big event in New York-- New York state, that is.

Taylor's wedding to Travis Kelce is allegedly taking place at Madison Square Garden this weekend. If you're not one of the lucky 1,000 people who was invited, a restaurant in Southampton, New York, is hosting its own party.

Guests who attend 75 Main's Swifties Wedding Celebration on July 3 will enjoy a giant "wedding-style" cake, Taylor hits on the sound system, Taylor-inspired decorations and themed cocktails.

The restaurant's owner, Zach Erdem, says in a statement, "Whether you’re a devoted Swiftie or just spending the holiday weekend in the Hamptons, we wanted to create a magical night where people can sing, dance, and enjoy the excitement together."

As for the actual wedding celebration, Page Six reports that based on the boxes of food and produce spotted being carried into Madison Square Garden, Taylor, Travis and their guests will be enjoying lobster, chicken, French fries and thick-cut onion rings. That might be the menu for the rehearsal dinner, though, not the actual reception. 

That is, of course, if the event actually is taking place at Madison Square Garden and isn't part of some elaborate ruse to throw off fans and the press.

Ariana Grande just headlined the venue where she made her public debut at age 8

Talk about a full-circle moment: Ariana Grande just headlined the first of three sold-out shows at the same venue where she first sang publicly as a little girl.

The venue is Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, Florida. As the Miami Herald reports, in 2002 it was known as the Office Depot Center when an 8-year-old Ariana sang "The Star-Spangled Banner" ahead of a Florida Panthers game. Ariana brought her Eternal Sunshine tour there on Tuesday night.

The Panthers and the venue teamed up on Instagram to share photos and video of that original performance. Despite her youth, little Ariana Grande-Butera, as she was known then, shows off some impressive pipes during the anthem. "Back where it all began," they captioned the post.

For her part, Ariana wrote on her Instagram Story, "florida, i love you with all my heart forever. thank you for a most beautiful night one." Ari was born in Boca Raton, Florida, which is about 25 miles away from Sunrise.

She's also scheduled to play Amerant Bank Arena on Thursday and Friday.

Bebe Rexha says she'll 'know' when she breaks out of the Khia Asylum

Bebe Rexha (Nate Guenther)

Despite her four top-10 hits and five entries in the Spotify Billions club, these days Bebe Rexha seems to be synonymous with the concept of the Khia Asylum. It's a term used to describe a female pop star who seems to be underperforming. But thanks to the success of her album Dirty Blonde and its singles "New Religion" and "Sad Girl," she seems to have escaped — though she's hesitant to confirm that.

Asked by Paper magazine if she feels as though she's "broken out" of the metaphorical asylum, Bebe says, "I’m the type of person who just likes to create music. I’m such a Virgo – I’m trying to celebrate that the album went number one on the dance chart, but I’m the type of person who is like, 'Oh my god, I could still write better songs. I could do more.' More, more, more."

She continues, "Every day, I don’t wake up being like, 'Did I break out of The Khia Asylum?' I’m doing my thing. Once I hit a stride, I’ll know and it will feel good, but I still feel like I’m in the building stages of what I’m trying to build."

That being said, she posted her Paper cover image on Instagram and captioned it, "I never wanna hear the words Khia Asylum again."

Bebe is far from alone in the Asylum, though: Until recently, Charli XCX and Zara Larsson were right there with her. 

"It’s extremely inspiring," Bebe says of their success. She notes, "People always want to count women out, say 'They’ve already had their chance.' ... What I’ve seen with Charli and Zara is they’re work horses. They never stopped. To see them do what they’re doing is f****** awesome."

This is real, this is me, I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be — to watch the new teaser trailer for Camp Rock 3.

Disney has released the second teaser trailer for the third film in the Camp Rock franchise. It finds the Jonas Brothers returning as the brothers of the fictional band Connect 3, and will premiere to Disney Channel on Aug. 13 and Disney+ the next day.

While the first trailer focused on the familiar faces of Joe Jonas, Kevin Jonas and Nick Jonas, this new teaser showcases the next generation of campers taking center stage. It also features a first look at the film's new song "One Beat Away."

Camp Rock 3 follows Connect 3 as they lose the opening act for their major reunion tour. The band returns to Camp Rock with the hope of discovering the next big thing.

"As campers vie for the chance to open for their favorite band, tensions rise, and friendships are tested, leading to unexpected alliances, revelations and romances," according to an official synopsis.

New cast members in the third film include Liamani Segura, Malachi Barton, Lumi Pollack, newcomer Hudson Stone, Casey Trotter, Brooklynn Pitts, Ava Jean and Sherry Cola.

The trailer shows Segura's Sage finding Mitchie Torres' old songbook covered in dust.

"I'm gonna be Connect 3's opening act, and nothing's gonna throw me off my game," Sage says before she's knocked to the ground by Barton's Fletch.

Veronica Rodriguez directs Camp Rock 3 from a script by Eydie Faye. The Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato all executive produce the new film, although Lovato will not reprise her role of Mitchie. Wizards of Waverly Place star Maria Canals-Barrera is returning to portray Mitchie's mother, Connie Torres.

Disney is the parent company of ABC News.

Noah Kahan thanks Sara Bareilles for the shoutout: 'I love you'

Noah Kahan (Patrick McCormack)

Just some of the albums that have been recorded at Aaron Dessner's Long Pond Studios include projects by Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift, Brandi Carlile and Gracie Abrams. Sara Bareilles recorded some of her upcoming release, Good Grief, there too. But when asked to name her favorite album made at the studio, located in upstate New York, she chose one by another artist.

"Maybe Noah Kahan's," Sara told Rolling Stone, referring to Noah's latest, The Great Divide. "I really loved that record. Plus, I just love .... did you guys see his documentary? I love a tender guy. I feel like I want more tenderness from everybody. Can we just be a little softer with each other?"

Noah, who's currently on tour, reposted the video of Sara making those remarks on his Instagram Story Wednesday. He captioned it, "I love you @sarabareilles! Thank you for your music and for the kindness!"

Sara isn't the only one who loves The Great Divide: It also made Rolling Stone's Best Albums of 2026 So Far list, along with releases by Ella Langley, Harry Styles, Paul McCartney, Charlie Puth, RAYE, BTS and Hilary Duff.

Happy 'Billboard' chart-iversary, Taylor Swift!

Taylor Swift, 'Taylor Swift' (Big Machine)

As Taylor Swift heads into what allegedly will be her wedding weekend, she's also got another milestone to mark: the 20th anniversary of her Billboard chart debut.

Taylor's first-ever Billboard chart appearance came July 1, 2006, as her debut single, "Tim McGraw," entered the Hot Country Songs chart at #60. She was just 16 years old at the time. The song, which was released on June 19, took 30 weeks to climb to its peak at #6. 

Taylor's self-titled debut album, released Oct. 24 of that year, went on to spend 24 weeks at #1 on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart and reached #5 on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart. 

Since then, of course, Taylor has gone on to dominate not just the country charts but the pop charts as well. To date, she's scored 15 #1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 and 15 #1 albums on the Billboard 200, the most of any female artists. 

Here are some of her unique chart achievements:

-- In 2022, Taylor became the first artist to hold the entire top 10 of the Hot 100 in the same week, when 10 songs from Midnights simultaneously entered the chart. In 2024, she bested her own record, taking over the top 14 spots on the chart with songs from The Tortured Poets Department.

-- Taylor holds the record for the longest song ever to top the Billboard Hot 100: "All Too Well (Taylor's Version)," which clocks in at 10 minutes and 13 seconds. It was #1 in November 2021.

-- Taylor is the only female artist ever to replace herself at #1, and she's done it twice: In 2014, "Blank Space" replaced "Shake It Off," and in 2023, "Is It Over Now (Taylor's Version)" replaced "Cruel Summer."
