Workers were removed from Madison Square Garden after taking pictures before Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding.
The couple tied the knot in front of 1000 guests at the New York sporting venue on Friday (04.07.26), a day after they hosted a more intimate rehearsal dinner for 100 there, and with arrangements shrouded in secrecy, at least four people working at the event were removed.
A source told PageSix.com that two stage hands “were escorted out Thursday night for taking pictures", but another insider told them there had been four people removed.
But they were not sacked because “since they work for the union, and not MSG, they would have to go to arbitration before they were fired.”
However, they will face sanctions as a result of their actions.
The insider explained: “They can’t work at the Garden anymore but they could work at other places [within the Madison Square Garden conglomerate].”
The outlet had previously revealed corporate employees had been banned from going into Madison Square Garden in the lead up to the wedding.
A source had said: “MSG is off limits to all corporate employees this week. They were not given a reason why it’s a no-go zone.”
Many of the wedding guests were asked to sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) prohibiting them from sharing any details about the ceremony, but Taylor and Travis' inner circle was exempt.
A source said: “Their closest friends and family haven’t been asked to sign NDAs. Protecting their privacy is just something everyone in their inner circle has always naturally done.”
Despite the NDAs, AMC CEO Adam Aron went into lengthy detail about the wedding on X, though he later removed his posts.
He had written: "It was such a privilege to be THERE.
“Having been in Taylor Swift‘s orbit since AMC first took her Eras Tour movie to theaters globally in 2023, and with AMC’s headquarters ironically located in Kansas City home to the Chiefs, I saw early on that true romance was at hand.
"Immediately upon entry, everything… floors, walls, ceilings… was draped in peach and white. Large blown up pictures of Taylor and Travis at each age, year by year from one year-old to late teenager-hood, were on display.
“A small portion of MSG was cordoned off, devoid of any notion that that a basketball or hockey game ever shared that space. Somehow magically, someone created an outdoor garden at a lush countryside retreat. Everything draped off this time in green and white. Real flowers and I think artificial trees welcomed fifteen rows of maybe 75 or so chairs. They say there were around one thousand attendees, but surprisingly, it all felt intimate and small. Everything was close.”
It had already been confirmed by the Opalite singer's publicist that the bride and groom wore Dior, but Aron offered some more details.
He wrote: “A few violins and cello ushered in the wedding party. Headlined by handsome Travis in a white tux, and a jaw-dropping Taylor in a stunning white wedding dress with a long veiled train.”
He didn't mention that Adam Sandler had officiated the ceremony, but spoke of the exchanging of vows.
He wrote: “An officiant talked and sang and talked. He was warm and welcoming, funny and eloquent."
Of the vows, he added: “Long, entertaining, personal, charming, emotional, irreverent and endearing explorations by each as to how they met, why they want to be with each other for all eternity, the promises they made in joining their much-beloved two whole families (Kelce’s and Swift’s) as one, and committing to their new mutual life together.”
