it’s a union Love story, darling.

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift officially tied the knot in an exclusive wedding at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Friday. Fans around the world were quick to congratulate the couple on their high-profile nuptials, including the American Federation of Labor and the Congress of Industrial Organizations. The AFL-CIO is the largest federation of unions in the country.

Swift is a member of the American Federation of Musicians and SAG-AFTRA, while Kelce is a member of the NFL Players Association.

“It’s better in a union,” the AFL-CIO wrote in X. “Congratulations to @The_AFM and @sagaftra member @taylorswift13 and @NFLPA member @tkelce on their marriage!”

In a separate X post, the AFL-CIO said Madison Square Garden “is a fully unionized venue.”

Swift has shown support for unions in the past, including in 2023 during the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strike. While major studios and streamers resisted meeting union demands, Swift worked with SAG-AFTRA to secure a tentative deal for her concert film, “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour.”

However, she’s not exactly a hardcore person. In July of that same year, Unite Here Local 11, which represents 32,000 hospitality workers, urged Swift to cancel her concerts in Los Angeles in support of her labor strike. She didn’t do it.

The high-profile nuptials brought hundreds of celebrities to New York City amid a sweltering heat wave. Paparazzi spotted Jason Sudeikis, Hugh Grant, Benson Boone, Ethan Hawke, Gigi Hadid, Bradley Cooper, Jessica Alba and more entering the venue.

Adam Sandler, a friend of the couple, officiated the wedding, the AP reported. Austin Swift was his sister’s Man of Honor and Jason Kelce was his brother’s Best Man. While saying “I do,” the couple donned suits designed by Christian Dior creative director Jonathan Anderson and jewels by Cartier.

While many of the details of the event were kept under wraps, TMZ reported that more than 1,000 guests were expected to attend and that the couple paid millions of dollars to rent Madison Square Garden for several days. A City Hall spokesperson told CBS News that a permit was filed to close the streets surrounding the site from July 2-4.

The couple, who got engaged in August 2025 after two years of dating, donated $26 million to 20 local and national charities before the ceremony. Swift’s publicist said the donations were tied to places that have shaped their lives, including Rhode Island and New York City. One of the recipients, Harvesters – The Community Food Network, said Swift and Kelce donated $1 million to their food bank in an Instagram post.

“We would like to wholeheartedly thank @taylorswift and @killatrav for their generous donation to our food bank just before their big wedding day,” the nonprofit said. “They both have incredibly big hearts and have shown up to support not only us but many charities over the years.”
