Pop superstar Taylor Swift and American football player Travis Kelce have officially tied the knot in a star-studded ceremony officiated by comedian Adam Sandler.

The pair both donned Christian Dior, according to Swift’s longtime publicist, and elected to skip bridesmaids and groomsmen.

Instead, Swift’s brother Austin Swift served as her Man of Honour, while retired American footballer and brother of Travis, Jason Kelce, was the groom’s Best Man.
