Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s lavish wedding, which one expert estimated cost $30 million, reportedly ended with their custom-made decorations being burned.
The Daily Mail reports it was told by a source the outlet didn’t name that Swift’s team instructed crew members to “dispose” of the extravagant decorations to ensure there weren’t “any traces” left behind. The decorations were reportedly burned to prevent people from stealing them and auctioning or selling them.
Let it Burn
It seems the couple didn’t want people to “steal it and then auction it or sell it.” Instead, the team burned them.
The custom-built furnishings included monogrammed items featuring two interlocking T’s, garden-like structures, custom-designed furniture, and other wedding decorations.
The decorations were reportedly transported from New York to Pennsylvania, where they were originally built, to be burned. The sets were reportedly transported in 11 semi-trucks that were described as “super packed.”
Page Six contacted representatives for Swift and Madison Square Garden for comment but did not receive a response about the report of the decorations being destroyed.
Wedding decorations often are rented for the occasion. It is unclear why the couple would not have gone this far more sustainable route for their nuptials if they didn’t want their elaborate wedding set pieces resold.
Swift, 36, and Kelce, 37, married at Madison Square Garden on July 3 in front of more than 1,000 guests.
Celebrity guests included Selena Gomez, Brad Pitt, Dakota Johnson, Ed Sheeran, Ciara, Ice Spice, Ashanti and Nelly, and Jennifer Lopez.
The Daily Mail previously reported that the couple scrapped plans for two elaborate wedding features. A two-story carousel was abandoned because of its $7 million price tag and replaced with a large tent for carnival games. A man-made pond planned beneath the altar was dropped over safety concerns and because it would “require too much engineering.”
An eyewitness previously shared additional details about the ceremony with Page Six, noting that the reception featured food stations and bars, and that a “castle” was built for the reception.
Multiple camera crews filmed the wedding.
Kelce later described the wedding as “the best night of my life.”
