Robin Gentry said the wedding was "so incredible" whilst she was leaving the venue.

“They cried, and they laughed, and they danced, and they hugged, and they kissed", she told the Telegraph.

Although she didn’t specify what was on the menu, she said guests ate “lots” and praised the wedding cake.

Rumours have been swirling about the star-studded wedding, which is said to have hosted around 1,000 guests and is thought to have cost around $20 million (£15 million).

The celebration came after the couple announced their engagement in August 2025.

Crowds gathered outside the iconic venue, as comedy film legend and friend of the couple, Adam Sandler, officiated the ceremony.

Musical icon Stevie Nicks performed at the ceremony, as reported by Good Morning America, with the couple's favourite food spot, Sartiano's, and an ice cream truck spotted entering the venue on Friday.

Tying the knot at 7.30pm local time (12.30am BST), large screens reading "JUST&T MARRIED!" were displayed outside of MSG an hour after Taylor's SUV was seen pulling into the venue.

The pop star wore a gown for the ceremony designed by Christian Dior, opting for custom Christian Louboutin shoes, and Cartier jewellery for the ceremony.

The guest list proved to be star-studded one, with rapper Jay-Z, director Steven Spielberg, model Karlie Kloss, musician Benson Boone, and singers Fergie and Ellie Goulding spotted among the guests.

Actor Bradley Cooper was photographed in a black tuxedo following Thursday night's rehearsal dinner.

The appearance of Karlie Kloss turned heads, with the former Victoria's Secret model - who's married to Josh Kushner, brother of Trump confidante and son-in-law Jared Kushner - marking a noteworthy appearance.

It follows a rumoured rift between the pair, with many speculating a fallout following Swift’s veiled lyrics and a lack of notable sightings in recent years.
