Travis Kelce reportedly brought the waterworks during his vow exchange moment with his wife, pop superstar Taylor Swift.
According to the couple’s guests, the NFL star was “more emotional” than Swift as they read their vows in front of friends and family, and even broke down in tears at some point.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding was certainly one for the history books after the couple put on a star-studded affair at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
Kelce and Swift were said to be at their most emotional while exchanging their wedding vows on July 3 at the MSG, but the singer’s beau reportedly did most of the crying.
Guests present for the highly publicized ceremony shared details of the moment with NBC News, noting that most of the attendees were left teary-eyed as the couple read their vows, which they wrote themselves, with Swift singing part of hers to Kelce.
Speaking to the news outlet, one attendee revealed that Kelce surprisingly out-cried Swift, noting: “You would think the bride would be the one crying more, but it was actually Travis that was more emotional.”
Beyond the tears, the massive venue’s visual makeover was a total showstopper. According to People Magazine, the newlyweds completely overhauled multiple sections of the iconic stadium to match their aesthetic.
“It looked like a forest,” an insider dished. The arena’s standard seating was reportedly hidden beneath sleek white drapes, along with an abundance of greenery adorning the place.

Speaking with People, an insider shared fresh insight into Swift and Kelce’s wedding ceremony, noting that “Taylor walked down the aisle to a stage where they said ‘I do.’”
The ceremony was an incredibly deep and detailed affair, with the source adding that “their vows were about 20 minutes each,” which Swift and Kelce read directly from gold books.
Expecting there to be waterworks, the thoughtful pair also provided guests with embroidered handkerchiefs for any emotional moments throughout the evening.
“After the ceremony, Taylor’s mom invited everyone into the reception room where a stage was set up,” the insider further shared.
According to the source, Paul McCartney performed The Beatles’ hit song, “I Want to Hold Your Hand,” at the event, with Stevie Nicks also part of the couple’s line-up of A-list singers.

Drinks at the wedding were said to be flowing all night long as “there were bars everywhere.” Reflecting on the sheer scale of the event, the People insider added that despite the massive size of the venue, the star-studded guest list packed the room, noting, “It was very crowded!”
Besides their family members, the couple’s guest list featured singers like Jennifer Lopez, Sabrina Carpenter, and the popstar’s close pals, Selena Gomez and Ed Sheeran.
Hollywood was also greatly represented at the wedding, with actors such as Tom Hanks, Brad Pitt, Dakota Johnson, and Bradly Cooper in attendance.
The Singer’s Former Best Friend Was Absent From The Celebration
In a surprising turn of events, Swift’s former close pal, Blake Lively, was notably absent from the event, along with her husband, Ryan Reynolds.
Swift and Lively’s friendship reportedly greatly suffered after the singer got dragged into the actress’s legal drama with her “It Ends With Us” co-star, Justin Baldoni.
It led to sensitive and private text messages the former pals shared in private being exposed, along with alleged comments made by Lively, in which she branded Swift one of her “dragons.”
Prior to the wedding, there was heavy speculation that the ladies had reconnected, with many expecting Lively to be at the wedding, especially after she settled her lawsuit. However, sources recently confirmed that the pair’s friendship was over and “done.”

Explaining why Swift ultimately chose not to invite Lively to her wedding, an insider told Page Six that the singer has moved on from their relationship and is now focused on being around people she can “trust.”
“Taylor’s in a different place now, and she just wants to be around people she trusts and who bring her peace,” the source said.
They added, “It’s a shame because she and Blake really were close, but she doesn’t think it’s something that’s going to be fixed. As far as [Taylor’s] concerned, their friendship is done.”
Lively, for her part, is said to be “sad” and “p-ssed” to have been shut out of the wedding, with an insider telling the Daily Mail that her friendship with Swift “was over before, but if there was hope, it’s gone. They’ll never be friends again.”
