Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce marry at Madison Square Garden
Paul McCartney played "I Want To Hold Your Hand" at Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding. It was the first time a Beatle performed the song since 1964.
They are friends and he sang as a surprise.
Oh man the price tag on that I’m sure was astronomical
What a treat for the billionaires!
Did Taylor Swift's guest who's an owner of an ICE facility enjoy it?
Okay, that's very very cool!
That is so sweet 🥰
i wish i could unlearn this
Billionaires acquiring another asset denied to everyday working people
You’re paying Macca 2 million bucks to play and he pulls the most fucking play while grandmas still awake-ass wedding DJ song
everyone at the wedding was gifted the cure to cancer, pretty cool little tidbit
Every one of these stories bums me out so I have to remind myself that a bunch of my union siblings got paid to work this gig and 4% of their earnings went to our benefits
this is like shkreli buying the one-off wu tang album to sit on it like smaug except nobody cares
false, john lennon performed it at my wedding
"Taylor Swift once penned 'it's a love story, baby, just say 'Yes.' And now, her art has become reality. I will always remember where I was when Taylor Swift -- unlike any artist before or after her -- pioneered the concept of writing about love and romance in a song
Crazy he’s not slid that one into any of his tours over the years
This could happen for you as well if you just make extremely mediocre music, hoard money, and shut down a city for a few days.
Two entirely unrelated burning questions I'm contemplating: Does Messi SEE what's going on so well bc he watches film, or bc he's so experienced he can just see immediately? Will Taylor Swift's music get shitty now that she's happily married?
On Messi, I have no clue. But my guess is Taylor's music won't get shitty, but it may change. I expect it to deepen and mature as she does. She may write songs that will appeal more to adults and less to teenagers. But that kind of talent doesn't go away just because an artist is happily married.
Re Messi: I’m sure he watches film, and he is obviously experienced, but this gift has been evident since he was young. I think it’s an almost innate understanding of the game and spatial intelligence.
Messi is married and he sees things anyway.
Re: Taylor, who knows? Re: Messi, I've always thought the very best athletes are not just physically gifted but mentally too. Their brains process information faster than their opponents. So, yeah, talent, training, discipline, hard work, all that. But also genius-level processing capacity.
Messi‘s spatial sense is innate. He was born with it. He just has an incredible ability to see where everybody is at all times and anticipate their movement. He sees passes others don’t, but also the skill to complete them.
the only person i think of with this comparable almost-paranormal talent is magic johnson at the height of his skill, early-mid 80s
Taylor Swift is bad at singing, songwriting, and playing instruments but I don’t think she’s evil or anything. That said I do rank her wedding guests at the same level of the comedians that went to Riyadh. Like have some self respect Also she’s a billionaire so actually she is evil lmao
She literally uses her lawyers to suppress people tracking her private jet's emissions. She is definitely evil.
I legit do not get it. Her music is not that interesting. Someone called her the Walmart of music, and I can’t stop thinking about that.
Her guest list doesn’t make her look good that’s for sure
She didn’t earn a billion, she stole it. Same as all of em Nothing against her music, it’s not my thing, im simply a billionaire hater
She’s no Dolly Parton, that’s for sure.
What about that Steven J. Demetriou guy who runs ICE concentration camps and went to her wedding.
as someone who is agnostic re Taylor Swift, it really feels like this wedding is a turning point in her public perception, at least among Bluesky People
honestly just puzzled by 'my wedding venue is MSG' because even tricked out every way you can imagine, it is still MSG. Go rent a real castle
eh, I feel like bluesky has always been pretty cool on her, it's (mostly) not her demographic music-wise and the billionaire thing has always rankled people it's definitely playing into existing perception but it's more of a continuation than a turning point imo
I can report that on Threads where many more normies hang out that the overall mood is sour on this recent spectacle of hers
As someone who really appreciates her toxic music about her toxic relationships I'm holding out for the divorce album because it is going to be PEAK
i can't find it but there was a youtube video that talked about how celebrities no longer try to be relatable and instead try to signal their wealth and status by being unrelatable and "closing down MSG so you can have a private wedding that no one can legally talk about" is the apotheosis of that
The Madison Square Garden thing is just so inexplicably weird even by ultra-rich people standards that it's hard to just shrug off. I really don't understand the purpose of it.
My thoughts on Taylor Swift are that I liked some of the country music she put out in 2008, but haven't heard any of her music since then. I do find it interesting: normally celebrities have massive fancy weddings in the Hamptons or Martha's Vineyard specifically to avoid this type of press frenzy.
Ehhh as a fan since 1989, she’s gotten worse and it can be felt. Her 2025 album was pretty cash grabby. At least the eras tour was about a big tour post covid lockdown
I’ve been so conflicted over listening to any Radiohead after they showed their Zionist asses (haven’t listened to them in a year and a half now) so it’s wild logging onto social media to find people defending Taylor Swift for inviting the owner of ICE Detention Centers to her wedding
Many popular artists have moral or political failings and none of it should be elided but given things the of support Swift, defending her online and continuing to give her money carries a political weight (derogatory).
Swifties are a cult. There is nothing she could do that would turn them off, nothing that they wouldn’t defend aggressively. All for some mediocre music! It’s insane.
