Taylor Swift reimbursed New York City more than $160,000 to cover police and security costs tied to her wedding to Travis Kelce at Madison Square Garden, an amount Mayor Zohran Mamdani confirmed on Friday, July 10, 2026.
The celebrations spanned the Independence Day weekend, with a permit filed for a major event at the arena from July 2 through July 4. An NYPD planning memo detailed hundreds of officers scheduled for patrol as the couple hosted a private dinner for roughly 100 guests on Friday and a ceremony and reception for about 1,000 celebrity attendees on Saturday. The wedding employed dozens of police officers across the venue.
The total cost of the wedding is estimated at no less than $25 million, according to reports.
