Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce received “really touching” marriage advice from Adam Sandler, who officiated the couple’s wedding, reveals Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid.
Kelce’s coach praised Sandler in an interview on CNN Sunday afternoon (July 5) — two days after seeing the bride and groom say “I do” — for doing a “phenomenal job” as officiant for their wedding ceremony. Reid also offered a glimpse at what the comedic actor told Swift and Kelce during the service.
“He said, ‘Kiss every chance you have, every day,’” Reid said. “‘Whether you’re going to bed or going to work or, you know, wherever, go ahead and kiss her.’ And I thought that was, in a simple way, in its simplest form, it really was touching.”
Reid added of Swift and Kelce, “I’ve had a chance to see them grow together, and that’s the most important thing, that there’s a love there, a sincere love.”
“Obviously, they’re different people, from different worlds, but they’ve come together to join hands, and they’re really special together,” the Chiefs coach said on CNN.
Swift’s rep confirmed that Sandler led the bride and groom’s ceremony at Madison Square Garden in New York City Friday night (July 3), though no details about what he said were shared at the time.
After Swift and Kelce exchanged vows, big screens on the exterior of the arena announced, “JUST&T MARRIED!”
By Saturday, some tidbits about the couple’s vows trickled in from guests who’d attended the event. The vows, which Swift and Kelce wrote themselves, were “everything you would hope for — real, vulnerable, serious and silly, deeply loving,” according to GMA host George Stephanopoulos.
The vows were “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,” Adam Aron, CEO at AMC, recapped in a since-deleted social media post.
As of press time Sunday, those who weren’t invited to the wedding still await the first look at Swift and Kelce on their big day. Swift wore a dress designed by Jonathan Anderson, creative director of Dior Women’s, Men’s and Haute Couture Collections; Anderson is also the founder/designer of menswear brand JW Anderson.
Sandler has previously been connected to both Swift and Kelce.
Kelce had a cameo in Sandler’s 2025 film Happy Gilmore 2, while Swift’s music has deep roots with Sandler and his daughters.
“Taylor’s so damn nice to my family and has always been,” he said in an interview last year. “She’s ridiculously nice to them and warm, and Travis is such a gentle, nice guy. Funny as hell. He’s like the guys I grew up with.”
Sandler also gushed over the pop star in an appearance on Travis and Jason Kelce’s New Heights podcast in 2024, sharing, “I love what she had to say … what she meant to young girls, what she means to women, what she means to guys doing the right thing in life … I do get nervous around Taylor Swift, because I don’t want to f—ing blow it for my kids and say something stupid.”
Sandler’s favorite song by Swift is a sentimental track from Fearless that she acclaimed singer-songwriter wrote for her mother, Andrea Swift, for the album’s original release in 2008.
“Everything [my two daughters] throw on I love, but one of the first ones they threw on when they were young was ‘The Best Day,’” he told Billboard in 2024. “We connected with that when the kids were young. Every album, we listen the first day it comes out. There’s not a song they don’t know every word to.”
