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. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing BBC News.

The pair both wore Christian Dior, according to Swift's longtime publicist, and elected not to have bridesmaids and groomsmen. Instead, Swift's brother Austin Swift served as her man of honour, and retired American footballer Jason Kelce was the groom's best man.

The event at Madison Square Garden shuttered one of Manhattan's busiest corridors and brought out Hollywood's A-list for what was likely the bash of the century. Actors Hugh Grant and Jason Sudeikis, singer Benson Boone and model Gigi Hadid were among those spotted.

Hordes of fans huddled outside throughout the day on Friday, some singing Swift tunes and donning concert merch, while others climbed scaffolding hoping to catch a better view of the festivities.

The celebration at the arena kicked off on Thursday with a much smaller event, where a reported 100 people were thought to attend. A permit filed with New York City officials called the event a "pre-party".

On Friday, a much larger event led to a tent being erected outside the arena that doubled in size. A stream of blacked-out SUVs pulled through the structure, allowing many guests to shield their arrival while streets in Midtown Manhattan were closed to traffic. Crews at the sport arena set up curtains and gazebos for the massive event.

Swift's longtime publicist Tree Paine confirmed to the BBC that the two wed on Friday in New York City and offered details from the ceremony. Around the same time, Madison Square Garden lit up massive signs around the complex reading "JUST&T MARRIED" - a nod to both Taylor and Travis's names.

Paine said Swift and Kelce wore wedding ceremony looks designed by Jonathan Anderson, creative director of Dior's women's, men's and haute couture collections, in close collaboration with the bride and groom. "This is the designer's first couture wedding dress for a world-renowned celebrity," Paine said in a statement, adding that their shoes were custom made by Christian Louboutin and the bride wore Cartier jewellery.

Throughout the day, excitement filled the air, with a heavy police presence in the stifling heat. Temperatures reached 37C (98.6F).

The New York City Police (NYPD) closed the streets around the arena midday, closing them off completely to vehicles and pedestrian traffic, which were diverted by barriers.

Even with curtains and tents erected to shield guests from the barrage of news cameras and anxious fans, many captured celebrity guests leaving hotels and arriving to the venue.

Model Gigi Hadid, in a pink sparkly dress, and actor boyfriend Bradley Cooper were spotted on the way to the ceremony, while actress Dakota Johnson was also photographed.

Several members of Kelce's football team were among those seen arriving to the wedding in plain view, while other A-list guests exited their vehicles under the enormous tent for privacy.

Also spotted was TV presenter Graham Norton, who was famously invited to the ceremony when Swift appeared on BBC's The Graham Norton Show.

Swifties - the singer's legion of fans - of all ages lined every block in the vicinity of the arena. As more blacked-out vehicles entered the area, the more excited the crowd grew, with several craning their necks to peek at the stars leaving their vehicles.

Some chanted lyrics to their favourite Swift songs or cheered "we love you Taylor", hoping the pop queen was somewhere within earshot. As the event begun, fans adorned with Swift memorabilia climbed city scaffolding and cheered for anyone who walked past.

On Thursday, a stream of black SUVs pulled up to the venue with guests dropped off under a white canopy tent. High-profile friends of the couple, from actress Lena Dunham to frequent collaborator Jack Antonoff, were spotted in formal attire for the rumoured rehearsal dinner.

The two-day celebration - featuring the takeover of part of America's biggest city - has been dubbed the wedding of the century and has attracted the sort of global attention usually reserved for royal weddings.
