Adam Sandler<\/b><\/a> has quietly become one of the most unexpected constants in Taylor Swift <\/b><\/a>and Travis Kelce<\/b><\/a>\u2018s love story – and in July 2026, he made it official.<\/p>\n

The comedian officiated the couple’s star-studded black-tie wedding at Madison Square Garden<\/span><\/a> following years of family fandom, movie experiences and surprise cameos that pulled him deeper into Swift and Kelce’s orbit.<\/p>\n

Keep scrolling to revisit Sandler’s history with Swift and Kelce:<\/p>\n

Sandler’s connection to Swift long predates her relationship with Kelce. On an August 2024 episode of Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast, the actor revealed his daughters Sadie and Sunny – whom he shares with wife Jackie Sandler<\/b> – grew up on Swift’s discography.<\/p>\n

“I think I was shooting Grown Ups<\/i> or That’s My Boy<\/i> or something in Massachusetts, and the kids were little and we’re listening to Taylor Swift. We’re listening to every song,” Sandler recalled on the podcast<\/span><\/a>. “It was one of the first times that you listen to every song on the record. Like, when I was a kid, I think The Beatles you did that with, maybe Elton John.”<\/p>\n

The Sandler family previously attended the Los Angeles premiere of Swift’s Eras Tour <\/i>concert film in October 2023, where Swift hugged Sunny and Sadie and chatted about their movie You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah<\/i>.<\/p>\n

“She just floors my family,” Sandler gushed, revealing his excitement over Swift’s romance with Kelce. “When you guys first started dating, my God, was my family like, \u2018Yes! Look how good they are together! Look, he’s a gentleman! And she’s having so much fun with him!'”<\/p>\n

Sandler admitted on the “Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend” podcast in February 2024 that Swift makes him nervous<\/span><\/a> – for family reasons.<\/p>\n

“[It’s] because of what she means to my kids. I get a little jumpy just cause I don’t wanna blow it for my kids,” he explained. “I’m a little like, \u2018Taylor Taylor,’ like, I talk a little too loud or something. I don’t act as cool as I can.”<\/p>\n

Sandler’s friendship with Kelce, meanwhile, began on the set of Happy Gilmore 2<\/i>, and it almost went even further because The Kansas City Chiefs tight end was initially eyed for a bigger role.<\/p>\n

“We were talking about you playing my son while we were writing it, literally, like, six months ago,” Sandler told Kelce on his “New Heights” podcast<\/span><\/a> in 2024. “We were like, \u2018Imagine if Travis was my first baby, how funny that would be.'”<\/p>\n

Kelce, instead, plays a waiter in the sequel, which was released in 2025.<\/p>\n

After wrapping the film, Sandler gushed about Kelce to Entertainment Tonight<\/i> in July 2025.<\/p>\n

“Travis is such a gentle, nice guy and funny as hell. He’s like the guys I grew up with,” the actor told the outlet at the time. “When I was with Travis, it reminded me of my buddies in high school and just being able to laugh and say the things you want to say.”<\/p>\n

Sandler told Access Hollywood<\/i><\/span><\/a> in September 2025 he recently ran into Swift’s father, Scott, at a stand-up gig. At the time, Scott handed out guitar picks to Sandler’s daughters.<\/p>\n

“I had a stand-up show the other night and I saw Taylor’s dad. He gave me some guitar picks to give my kids and we discussed how excited we are for the new record,” Sandler said, describing the Swift family as “good people.”<\/p>\n

Sandler presided over Swift and Kelce’s wedding ceremony<\/span><\/a> in New York City, where roughly 1,000 guests gathered for the black-tie affair inside MSG. The bride and groom also opted against having a bridal party. Instead their respective brothers, Austin and Jason, served as Man of Honor and Best Man.<\/p>\n

Swift and Kelce, who started dating in the summer of 2023 and got engaged in August 2025, got married in front of an A-list crowd, including Gigi Hadid, Jack Antonoff, Karlie Kloss, Ed Sheeran, Zo\u00eb Kravitz <\/b>and Benson Boone.<\/b><\/p>\n
