Taylor Swift Paid $60K for Wedding Permit at Madison Square Garden
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce tied the knot last Friday at Madison Square Garden, and the singer spared no expense. Sources say she paid $60,000 for a city permit to close 7th Avenue in Midtown Manhattan.
The move was meant to ensure Taylor Swift's wedding went smoothly without traffic jams: celebrity guests could arrive at MSG in limos without getting stuck in New York's notorious gridlock. Law enforcement sources confirmed the street closure was officially paid for.
But the permit cost is just a fraction of the total spending. Earlier reports revealed the couple ordered $4,000 worth of pizza from Mama's TOO! and raffled off a $6,700 handbag, expensive Cartier watches, and a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle with a 'JUST&T MRD' license plate.
The rental of Madison Square Garden itself cost roughly $1 million per night, and the venue was booked for at least three days. So the $60,000 permit is a drop in the bucket compared to the overall wedding budget.
The event gathered numerous A-list guests from entertainment and sports. The wedding was kept under wraps, but details are gradually emerging in the press.
This celebration is already being called one of the biggest showbiz events of the year, and Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce continue to amaze the public with their lavish style and attention to detail.
