At roughly 7:30 p.m. on Friday, July 3, the words JUST&T MARRIED!<\/span> appeared on the jumbotrons outside Madison Square Garden. The sign meant that the \u201cT&T\u201d in question\u2014the pop star Taylor Swift and her footballer fianc\u00e9 Travis Kelce\u2014had just wed. Onlookers outside the venue who\u2019d braved the heat wave for any glimpse of the festivities cheered. A reporter for NBC News was caught speechless upon seeing the message. And I, seeing a photo of the screens on Instagram, thought, Wait, did AT&T sponsor this?<\/i><\/p>\n

I wasn\u2019t alone in my misunderstanding. A major telecommunications company being involved didn\u2019t seem impossible for nuptials during which several news outlets had run numerous livestreams to inspect every piece of equipment that entered the venue. And then there was the whopping number of attendees: Last fall, Swift said on The Graham Norton Show<\/i> that she intended to invite \u201canyone I\u2019ve ever talked to,\u201d and she seemed to follow through on that promise. Her guest list of reportedly more than 1,000 people included enough celebrities to make the Met Gala look like a county fair. (The revelers in the crowd had won at least 14 Oscars, 31 Emmys, and 37 Grammys among them combined.) Many of those who celebrated inside Madison Square Garden flexed their presence the next day with Instagram posts featuring gushy captions about whom they\u2019d gotten to meet. Others have stayed mum, making their activities at the wedding rather fascinating to imagine: Did Machine Gun Kelly hobnob with Zadie Smith? Did Benson Boone attempt a backflip in front of the noted stunt-enthusiast Tom Cruise?<\/p>\n

The glitzy wedding reception seemed like a stellar opportunity for headline makers to shake hands\u2014which is perhaps an uncharitable read of a party I didn\u2019t attend. (Any accusations of FOMO would be warranted, to be clear.) Yet the couple\u2019s decision to tie the knot inside Madison Square Garden\u2014a choice that elicited negative reactions from fans, critics, and locals in the days leading up to the event\u2014with a guest list composed of tastemakers from several industries made complete sense. This was the only way that Taylor Swift, the brand, could possibly get married. Swift is a business, a \u201cmonster on the hill,\u201d as she calls herself in the song \u201cAnti-Hero,\u201d and her livelihood is fueled by her own love stories. That the culmination of one may have resembled a conference is unsurprising, even if said conference took place inside a faux \u201csecret garden\u201d and involved Adam Sandler as the officiant.<\/p>\n

Swift technically (and impressively) stayed out of the public eye during her wedding, but she acknowledged the crowd outside of Madison Square Garden with that cheeky \u201cJust married\u201d message; a press release announcing the union popped up at the same time. The collective spectacle captured a tension that Swift has long been charting through her music. She seems to both crave and fear attention, to regard the task of being famous as an honor and a burden. In the 1989 <\/i>song \u201cI Know Places,\u201d she takes pride in how well she can avoid the \u201chunters,\u201d but five albums later, she admits on the track \u201cMidnight Rain\u201d that she was \u201cchasing that fame.\u201d On her latest record, she writes of a showgirl yearning for a private life with her partner (\u201cWe tell the world to leave us the fuck alone, and they do\u2014wow\u201d) while also conceding that she\u2019s \u201cimmortal now\u201d and \u201cwouldn\u2019t have it any other way.\u201d No matter how much Swift shrouds her personal life in mystery, she also wants some part of her to be visible\u2014to contribute to her outward-facing mythology. As she put it in the standout Folklore <\/i>song \u201cMirrorball,\u201d \u201cI\u2019m still trying everything to keep you looking at me.\u201d<\/p>\n

There was a time when she seemed less enamored with being so known. On the album Red<\/i>\u2014my favorite in her discography\u2014she wrote, on the song \u201cThe Lucky One,\u201d from the perspective of an ingenue admiring an older star who\u2019d found a way to escape the spotlight. Her imagined idol, she sings, \u201cchose the rose garden over Madison Square.\u201d As it turns out, Swift has reached a point in her career and in her fame where she doesn\u2019t have to decide between banishing onlookers and indulging them. Her wedding proved that she could address both needs however she liked.<\/p>\n
