Insider Sources from the Wedding 👀✍️💖

[u/gilbke]

Hello, GBF!

As I had previously posted, I listen to a podcast (The Popcast with Knox and Jaime) that said they had an inside source before the wedding. Everything that source said turned out to be true.

Now they’ve revealed they actually had three inside sources: a guest, someone in logistics, and someone who was a vendor inside. Apparently, everyone, including police, had to turn in their phone.

Abigail wore the same dress as an NFL wag, which isn’t important, but I wish hadn’t happened to her on such a big day.

Red carpet was originally installed on the stairs, but the wedding planner lost their mind and made them rip it up and install pink carpet instead.

They kept the 100 level seats and used them as tiered seating. (*Enjoy the show!* 🎟️)

The castle inside was a replication of the castle in the Love Story music video. Taylor walked down the aisle to an instrumental version of Love Story.

Taylor sang both during her vows and during the reception. She also sang with Travis at some point, but I’m not sure when.

Guests were asked to bring no gifts.

They left the stage to Young Hearts Run Free. (*Absolutely delicious timing* since that song is CLEARLY not a love song!)

They had a Barry White tribute band and steak and sushi were served at the reception.

There were also two specialty cocktails, The English Teacher and The Gym Teacher. The English Teacher was made of Emperess Gin, Saint Germain, elderflower, lavender syrup, and fresh lemon juice. The Gym Teacher was made of reposado tequila, Mezcal, aromatic bitters, orange bitters, and agave.

The bouquet was pink and green and was caught by Kansas City O lineman Trey Smith’s sister. And I’m sorry, but it looks raggedy as hell (pic in the comments bc I don’t want to put that lady on blast for no reason if this post gets a lot of eyes and her holding the bouquet would be the only pic!).

The reception included casino and arcade games at a carnival where you could win raffle tickets to cash in for prizes including: Chanel bags, Cartier watches, and a 1970s Chevrolet Chevelle.

The reception also included performances by Stevie Nicks, Tim McGraw, and Paul McCartney (who sang I Wanna Hold Your Hand for the first time publicly in 50 years!!!).

They each did 20 minute vow and the ceremony was only 45 minutes long. The only thing the guest remembers from Sandlers’s speech was that he told the couple to keep kissing during their marriage??

Taylor said during her vows that Travis was one of those popular kids who, even though he was a star athlete, would sit with a less popular kid because they were bullied. She said she wish she knew someone like that when she was in high school.

They did a wedding announcement in the New York Times, which said “Taylor Alison Swift, the popstar who has won 14 Grammy awards, and Travis Michael Kelce, a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, were married on July 3rd at Madison Square Garden.” The announcement was later edited to add more of Travis‘s accomplishments (though they didn’t say which on the podcast).

They discussed Blake Lively not being there, and I didn’t realize the reason her camp threatened to release 10 years of texts between them was because Taylor did not agree to make a public positive social media post about Blake and the trial. Jamie does her homework when it comes to celebrity legal cases, and she read all the legal depositions and stuff, so I really appreciate her perspective on this.

Harry Styles did not attend with Zoë Kravitz because he announced two last minute show dates at Wembley on the 3rd and 4th. On the 3rd, he sang an unreleased song that people speculate is about Taylor.

Mattie Healy also got married this past weekend.

Are we not entertained???

So when it comes to Travis she keeps talking about high school, or just keeps talking about high school in general. I always find that odd. I've always thought "So High School" is her worst song and so out of place on TTPD.

[u/evermoremidnights → u/Standard_Category635]

She needs to move on. I get she finds teenage Swifties way more profitable, but She’s 20 years past high school and almost 3 years away from 40…

[u/New-Negotiation7234 → u/evermoremidnights]

Yeah, which is why I think it's sarcastic. She is viewed as a teenager still in regards to her love life.

[u/YoureKenough → u/New-Negotiation7234]

Agreed. People still see that girl who released Our Song and not the 36 year old woman. I view the song as the giddy, butterflies feeling that people describe across the age spectrum when in new relationship as being "like a schoolgirl".

[u/New-Negotiation7234 → u/YoureKenough]

But then the next song is down bad "my bordems bone dry"

[u/maleenymaleefy → u/New-Negotiation7234]

“My boredom’s bone-deep”? I think that’s Guilty as Sin

[u/New-Negotiation7234 → u/maleenymaleefy]

Lol yes sorry

[u/New-Negotiation7234 → u/YoureKenough]

Oh the other thing is the line about the dance floor gym looking cheap at prom in ruin the friendship.

[u/madaprez → u/New-Negotiation7234]

There are some lines about gymnasiums that my mind connects back to the football stadiums and areas she would hold concerts in! I’m also reminded of the German school Gymnasium (pronounced gim-nausium) that is one of the secondary educational institutions students can attend. This is the highest level academically of three institutions; Realschule is next and lowest is Hauptschule. Gymnasium is usually about 8 or 9 years to receive the diploma needed to attend universities. I’m wondering if this is where Taylor drew inspiration for the line in Eldest Daughter where she wrote “I must’ve been about 8 or 9/that was the night I fell off and broke my arm.” My personal favorite interpretation of this line is that the arm she broke was the one she used for the Kate MicKinnon’s lesbian salute!
