What did you do this weekend? After kissing a lot of frogs – Joe Jonas, Taylor Lautner, John Mayer, Jake Gyllenhaal, Conor Kennedy, Harry Styles, Calvin Harris, Tom Hiddleston, Joe Alwyn, Matty Healy – and writing songs about them, on Friday 3 July (continuing into 4 July, aka America’s 250th birthday) Taylor Swift finally married her prince. Or rather, her tight end. For the millions of fans who have grown up devouring the heartfelt lyrics and tortuous love life of the 14 Grammy-winning billionaire, not only is Travis Kelce – the 36-year-old Kansas City Chiefs player – the man of her dreams, but the man of theirs. Well, if you like heavily bearded men who stand 6ft 5ins tall and have a penchant for wearing Versace.
For Traylor fans, this was the wedding of the century. Forget Dua and Callum, Lauren and Jeff or even Kate and Wills: the nuptials of Taylor and Travis – see, even their names alliterate! – surpassed any celebrity or royal wedding in recent times. Did you know that the wedding cost over $20m? Or that, in anticipation of a backlash, they gave $26m to local charities? And stipulated that they didn’t want any gifts? And that the Empire State Building was lit up as Tay’s “something blue”? Here are a few other things you may have missed.
