The couple celebrated Friday with friends and family in New York City, renting out the iconic home of the NBA champion New York Knicks and countless events of renown.
Kansas City played a huge role in the Swift-Kelce love story. Kelce tried, unsuccessfully, to get his number to Swift at her Eras Tour show at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium — then shared about his disappointment on the New Heights podcast, catching her attention.
Weeks later, Swift showed up to watch Kelce play at Arrowhead, and they drove off together after the Chiefs’ blowout victory in his “getaway car.”
That hard-launched their relationship and boy, oh boy, did the tabloids and gossip sites go all-in on their every move.
Another Kansas City connection came last summer, when Kelce proposed to Swift in the backyard of his Leawood home. After that, fans wanted to know every detail of what their wedding would look like and where it would be held.
Photographers caught Swift’s car leaving her New York apartment and arriving at Madison Square Garden.
