Harry Styles References Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Wedding at MSG Concert

Pop superstar Harry Styles playfully acknowledged his ex-girlfriend Taylor Swift’s wedding during the opening stretch of his concert residency at Madison Square Garden on August 29, according to coverage from Variety and Us Magazine. Addressing the packed arena, Styles delivered a lighthearted shout-out to the venue itself while nodding to the high-profile ceremony held there weeks prior.

During the August 29 show in New York City, Styles engaged the audience by highlighting the historic Manhattan venue. “We’re at Madison Square Garden, home of the world champion New York Knicks! And they also do weddings,” Styles told the crowd, as reported by Variety and Us Magazine.

According to Us Magazine, the remark drew an enthusiastic response from the audience while the singer flashed a cheeky grin on stage. The mention directly referenced the July 2 wedding of Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, which took place inside the same arena.

Inside the Swift-Kelce Wedding at MSG

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce married in a private ceremony at Madison Square Garden on July 2, utilizing the venue’s digital marquee to display a message confirming they were “JusT&T Married,” according to Us Magazine.

Kelce later discussed the venue choice during Kansas City Chiefs training camp on August 12, telling reporters that getting married at the sports arena fulfilled a childhood dream. “I can’t thank the owners of MSG [enough] for allowing us to get the opportunity to do that, knowing that we wanted a private event and everything,” Kelce said, according to Us Magazine. “The A/C was cooking, baby. That was the best part.”

Exes and Ongoing Connections

Styles and Swift previously dated from November 2012 to January 2013, with their past relationship frequently cited by pop culture analysts as the inspiration for Swift’s 2014 single “Style” and Styles’ 2017 track “Two Ghosts,” according to Variety.

While Variety reported that Styles received an invitation to the July 3 wedding celebration, he was unable to attend due to his concert residency commitments in London at Wembley Stadium. However, Styles’ fiancée, Zoë Kravitz, was in attendance for the ceremony, according to Us Magazine and Variety. Both outlets report that there is no public animosity between Styles and Swift following their breakup over a decade ago.
