Tavia Hunt, wife of Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt, is shutting down what she says are “false” rumors regarding Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s star-studded Madison Square Garden wedding.
“This is such a false narrative. They did not run out of champagne. There were not long lines. Every single person was seated for the ceremony,” Tavia, 54, commented on a Tuesday, July 7, Instagram video that showed podcaster Zack Peter quote part of an article published by the Daily Mail.
Tavia, who shared via Instagram just prior to the Friday, July 3, ceremony that she and Clark, 61, were “all dressed up in New York for a night that already feels like a song,” added that the vows shared by Swift and Kelce, both 36, were “spectacular … beautiful, heartfelt, and absolutely perfect” amid a wonderful event.
“It could not have been a more fabulous experience. And frankly, it is inappropriate to say things like this when you clearly don’t know what you’re talking about. That is hearsay – not truth,” Tavia concluded.
In the video, Peter, 33, detailed the Daily Mail’s take on Swift and Kelce’s wedding.
“Apparently some of the wedding guests were not happy,” Peter claimed. “The Daily Mail writes, ‘The event was meant to be a magical celebration, Taylor Swift’s love story … but guests have been complaining post-event about how tacky and chaotic scenes inside were, which saw the champagne running dry really early and long queues for buffet food.’”

Peter’s own commentary then filtered through as he commented on the report.
“Like, how do you … with 1,000 guests, you need to have a s*** ton of champagne ready on hand all day, every day,” he said.
The insight shared by Tavia, who has been married to the Chiefs’ CEO for more than three decades, comes after a source exclusively told Us Weekly on Tuesday that Swift and Kelce have decided to keep some details from the nuptials to themselves, including video footage from inside the venue.
“They had it documented for themselves but are keeping it private,” the insider confirmed to Us.
The couple tied the knot in a star-studded ceremony that felt “intimate” according to another exclusive source who spoke to Us on Monday, July 6. “The entire wedding had an enchanted garden-inspired vibe,” the insider said before detailing the wedding’s color palette. “There was light peach drapery everywhere as you entered, blush and white florals, tons of lush greenery, huge trees and candlelight throughout.”
Another source added, “They transformed the venue into an elegant and unique wedding experience that reflected both their personalities. It was decorated elegantly, incorporating their down-to-earth style mixed in.”
