Travis Kelce has given fans a rare glimpse into his wedding to Taylor Swift, revealing details about the day.

The NFL star opened up about the couple’s secretive July wedding for the first time while speaking to reporters at Kansas City Chiefs’ training camp.

Asked about his off-season, Kelce described the wedding as “the best night of my life” and thanked the friends and family who joined the couple for the celebrations.

“The wedding was the best night of my life, and I appreciate everybody who came out and celebrated and had fun with us,” he said.

Kelce and Swift exchanged vows at New York’s Madison Square Garden, with the event kept firmly under wraps.

The couple have yet to publicly share photographs from their wedding day, despite the ceremony reportedly drawing a huge celebrity guest list.

For Kelce, the choice of venue was particularly significant, with the football star revealing that getting married at the iconic arena had been a childhood dream.

“It’s kind of cool to be able to live out my childhood dream of being in that venue,” he said.

He also had special praise for the venue’s owners for helping the couple pull off the private celebration.

But it wasn’t all about the romance.

Kelce revealed the venue’s air conditioning was working overtime as New York sweltered through a heatwave, with temperatures climbing above 40C.

“And the AC was cooking. That was the best part,” he joked.

Asked if he could share more details about the wedding, Kelce remained tight-lipped.

“That’s about all I really got from that night,” he said.

“It was a crazy night. It was full of a lot of celebration.”

The wedding was reportedly officiated by actor Adam Sandler, with a string of Hollywood heavyweights among the guests.

The guest list read like a who’s who of Hollywood and the music world, with Brad Pitt, Gigi Hadid, Sabrina Carpenter, Jennifer Lopez, Nelly and Tom Hanks among the stars reported to have attended.

The secrecy surrounding the wedding only fuelled the frenzy outside Madison Square Garden, with fans and photographers gathering near the venue as black SUVs ferried guests into the private event.

The couple have kept details of their marriage largely private since tying the knot, although they previously confirmed the news on the day with a public display outside Madison Square Garden featuring the words “JUST T&T MARRIED”.
