Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce embraced several timeless wedding traditions when they got married on July 3 — but they also put their own spin on the celebration.

Swift wore a custom Christian Dior Haute Couture gown, the couple exchanged heartfelt vows, and the Grammy winner even tossed her bouquet, which Kansas City Chiefs offensive lineman Trey Smith’s sister, Ashley Smith, caught part of.

Beyond those classic moments, however, the celebration was anything but conventional. Rather than saying “I do” in a ballroom or private estate, the couple transformed New York City’s Madison Square Garden into a fairytale-inspired garden, invited guests through digital invitations that many initially mistook for spam and entertained attendees with reception games and luxury raffle prizes.

Here are seven unconventional details from Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding.

Rather than mailing traditional paper invitations, Swift and Kelce seemingly opted for a fully digital approach. Guests received invitations via a link sent directly to their phones — a decision so unconventional that some attendees initially thought the messages were fake.

BBC Radio 1 host Greg James revealed on the BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show on July 8that he and his wife were convinced the invitation “could be a scam” until they arrived at the wedding.

Before they tied the knot, Swift and Kelce celebrated by giving back. A rep for Swift confirmed to PEOPLE that the couple donated $26 million to a variety of charitable organizations ahead of their big day.

The recipients included Food Bank For NYC, New York Cares, Brad Paisley and Kimberly Williams-Paisley’s The Store, Harvesters in Kansas City, Feeding America, ASPCA, Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, Hassenfeld Children’s Hospital at NYU Langone and Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City.

“We’re truly inspired by Taylor and Travis’s generosity to so many wonderful organizations, and extremely grateful that The Store is included among them,” Brad and Kimberly told PEOPLE of the donation in a statement at the time. “This gift will go a long way toward helping our neighbors facing food insecurity in Nashville. What a beautiful way to celebrate the beginning of a marriage!”

Instead of choosing a ballroom, estate or luxury hotel, Swift and Kelce exchanged vows at Madison Square Garden. While the iconic arena may seem like an unexpected wedding venue, it offered several advantages when it came to safety, security and privacy.

Guests who entered MSG didn’t find the sports arena they expected. Instead, the couple transformed the space into a fairytale-inspired garden filled with white chair covers, and ferns and trees that were brought inside to create a “forest” feel, insiders told PEOPLE.

“They have grass, carpets and canopies, and it looks like a place where you’d get married,” another source added.

Forgoing a traditional bridal party, the Grammy-winning singer asked her brother, Austin Swift, to serve as her “man of honor,” Swift’s rep confirmed to PEOPLE.

Kelce, meanwhile, had his older brother, Jason Kelce, by his side as best man.

Neither Kelce nor Swift had bridesmaids or groomsmen.

The couple’s vow exchange lasted about 40 minutes

Long, heartfelt vows took center stage during the ceremony, which was officiated by Adam Sandler. Swift and Kelce’s “vows were about 20 minutes each,” a source told PEOPLE, adding that each guest received an ivory handkerchief in case the ceremony brought tears.

The lace-trimmed keepsakes featured the couple’s monogram, wedding date and venue, along with the lyric, “So it’s gonna be forever ...” from Swift’s 2014 hit “Blank Space.”

George Stephanopoulos, who attended the wedding, told ABC News that “the ceremony was very great, moving.” He added that Sandler was “funny” as officiant and that the vows, which he said were kept in “little books,” were “real, vulnerable, serious and silly, deeply loving.”

Immediately following the ceremony, jumbotrons outside of MSG displayed the words, “JusT&T Married,” a nod to the bride and groom’s initials.

The wedding also included a lineup of A-list performers, including Stevie Nicks and Paul McCartney.

They skipped a traditional wedding cake

Instead of cutting into a traditional wedding cake, Swift and Kelce treated their roughly 1,000 guests to an elaborate dessert table.

According to TMZ, the spread featured about 30 different cakes, each topped with a unique 3D figure of the couple. A source also told PEOPLE that the display — which included Pop-Tarts, cookies, pastries and other sweets — was “a focal point” of the celebration.

The reception turned into a game night with epic prizes

Dancing wasn’t the only entertainment on the agenda. During the reception, guests were invited to play games to earn raffle tickets for a chance to win extravagant prizes.

Two unnamed guests told NBC News that the giveaways included designer handbags and even a vintage 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle. The classic car held special significance for the couple, as it’s the same make and model of the convertible Kelce drove away in with Swift after she attended her first Kansas City Chiefs game in September 2023, per the outlet.

While it’s unclear who won the Chevelle, Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Drue Tranquill’s wife, Jackie Tranquill, shared in a since-deleted Instagram post that she walked away with a Chanel handbag from the brand’s latest collection, reportedly valued at $6,700.

Charlie Sheen to pay ex Brooke Mueller $500K for back child support Liza Esquibias, USA TODAYThu, July 9, 2026 at 5:17 PM UTC 1 Charlie Sheen is agreeing to give former wife Brooke Mueller a sixfigure sum in back child support. A Los Angeles judge signed off on a settlement agreement between the exes July 7, requiring the "Two and a Half Men" alum, 60, to pay a total of $500,000 to the actress, 48, according to documents obtained by USA TODAY. Half of the money must be paid by Friday, July 10, and the rest is due Sept. 1.

Charlie Sheen to pay ex Brooke Mueller $500K for back child support

Charlie Sheen is agreeing to give former wife Brooke Mueller a six-figure sum in back child support.

A Los Angeles judge signed off on a settlement agreement between the exes July 7, requiring the "Two and a Half Men" alum, 60, to pay a total of $500,000 to the actress, 48, according to documents obtained by USA TODAY. Half of the money must be paid by Friday, July 10, and the rest is due Sept. 1.

The filing states that the agreement came after Sheen "considered the risk of litigation and costs thereof and has decided that it is preferable to settle these issues rather than to be subjected to the uncertainties associated with the litigation process."

This marks the resolve of their dispute over child support debt and interest dating back to March 1, 2011, until July 1 of this year. The agreement says Sheen and Mueller, who share twin 17-year-old sons Bob and Max Sheen, are each responsible for the financial support of the kids while in their custody moving forward.

Sheen was also ordered to pay $60,000 in Mueller's attorneys' fees by Oct. 15.

Brooke Mueller, Charlie Sheen legal battle ends

In December, Mueller filed a motion claiming Sheen was owed nearly $9 million in unpaid support, plus more than $6 million in accrued interest and $25,000 in legal fees, per documents obtained by USA TODAY at the time.

She further stated Sheen was ordered to pay $55,000 per month in April 2010, but he failed to complete those payments either partially or entirely beginning in July 2011.

Sheen and Mueller were married from 2008 to 2011 and had a tumultuous relationship at times, including custody battles, both entering rehab and an incident in 2009 during which the Golden Globe winner allegedly pulled a knife on Mueller.

In recent years, the pair have voiced their support for one another. In 2019, Sheen addressed Mueller's decision to enter a trauma center in a video published by TMZ, stating, "I think she's right where she needs to be."

"I hope she gets the help she needs," he added. "We're here when she reaches out. She knows where to find us."

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have crossed the border. The couple was spotted in Canada as attention surrounding Blake Lively’s legal dispute with Justin Baldoni intensified once again.

Hollywood power couple crosses the border as legal tensions mount over feuding costars

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds were recently seen in Canada after missing Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s Madison Square Garden wedding. The outing came during another busy week in the aftermath of Lively’s legal dispute with Justin Baldoni.

According to TMZ, Lively and Reynolds appeared relaxed during the Canada outing, where they were seen shopping and dining casually. The story surfaced days after the couple’s absence from Swift’s July 3 wedding became a headline.

Lively and Reynolds did not attend Swift and Kelce’s wedding or rehearsal dinner. Instead, the couple had been seen spending time as a family in Lake Placid, New York, where their daughter, Betty, competed in a horse show.

The timing has kept conversations about Lively’s relationship with Swift in the spotlight. Their friendship has been the subject of speculation after Swift was drawn into the legal dispute between Lively and Baldoni. Swift was subpoenaed in the case in 2025, though her team said she had no involvement in It Ends With Us beyond licensing one of her songs.

Meanwhile, Baldoni has also returned to the public conversation. In a July 8 Instagram video with his wife, Emily Baldoni, the actor spoke about the “trauma” and “pain” he said his family experienced during the legal battle.

Lively and Baldoni settled their dispute in May 2026, shortly before the case was scheduled to go to trial. However, legal proceedings related to the matter have continued. Lively has since sought more than $8 million in attorneys’ fees and costs related to Baldoni’s dismissed countersuit.

For now, Ryan Reynolds’ appearance in Canada may simply reflect a family outing. However, the timing coincides with renewed attention surrounding the legal dispute, the couple’s absence from Swift’s wedding, and Baldoni’s recent comments.

Alice Halsey stars as Laura Ingalls in Netflix’s Little House on the Prairie reboot, which arrived on Thursday, July 9

The 11-year-old actress says she felt pressure to honor Laura’s legacy but embraced the character’s complexity

Halsey bonded closely with her castmates, calling her on-screen sister and parents a supportive team

Alice Halsey knows Laura Ingalls Wilder is iconic.

The 11-year-old actress, who had a breakout role in Apple TV’s Lessons in Chemistry, spoke with PEOPLE ahead of the premiere of Netflix’s Little House on the Prairie. Not unlike Laura, she loves being outdoors and enjoys “drawing, jump-roping ... walking, running,” as well as singing and playing the piano. But the young star’s first passion is acting, so the gravity of taking on the role of Laura, the imaginative and adventurous frontier girl generations have fallen in love with thanks to the real Wilder’s book series and Melissa Gilbert‘s portrayal of the character in NBC’s 1970s TV show, is not lost on her.

“I think it’s a huge privilege to be able to play this amazing character,” Halsey shares. “She’s been an icon across generations and I feel so honored that I get to play this character and be shown on-screen as Laura Ingalls.”

She adds, “I think my favorite part might have been being able to just figure out who she is because she definitely has a lot of sides to her.”

She admits she does feel some “pressure” to get the role just right, though.

“I felt a lot of responsibility to Laura and the writers and [showrunner] Rebecca [Sonnenshine] to do it right. I knew that I had to honor her legacy and her story because she really was an amazing woman, a storyteller, a writer and a hard worker,” Halsey says. “So I felt a lot of pressure, but I think I was surrounded by amazing castmates and I’m just so glad that I could do it with them.”

In season 1, viewers see Laura being deeply empathetic and curious as she makes friends with members of the Osage tribe, including Good Eagle (Wren Zhawenim Gotts), a young girl around Laura’s age who lives near the Ingalls’ homestead. But she’s also plagued with self-doubt at times and envious of her older sister Mary’s (Skywalker Hughes) ease in social situations, including a particularly memorable tea party.

Halsey loves the challenge of playing a character with so many layers. “She is a complicated character. She is brave and she’s strong and she definitely is a little bit impulsive and a little bit self-conscious,” she says. “I think that she feels like she has to prove herself to everybody that she cares about that she is able, she’s capable of providing for them and protecting them.”

Laura also “really, really wants friends,” but Halsey points out that she “doesn’t really fit in” beyond the prairie. She would often rather be out hunting with her Pa (Luke Bracey) than doing her schoolwork or visiting the town of Independence with her Ma (Crosby Fitzgerald) and Mary.

As Halsey shares, Laura “needs to be who she is and who she is isn’t fitting in.” She adds, “So it’s this constant push and pull.”

For Halsey, being surrounded by such a supportive group of actors has made donning Laura’s pigtails much easier. The Days of Our Lives alum gives 14-year-old Hughes a special shout-out, adding that they’re “like real sisters.”

“No, we are real sisters, not by blood, but still,” she says. “Right when we met each other, we clicked immediately. It was like we saw each other and we were just like, ‘Yeah, so that’s my sister.’ I remember on my first day on set, I was so nervous. First day on a big job and I remember I walked into the tutoring room and Skywalker just runs up to me and gives me the biggest hug and I felt so welcomed.”

Her TV Ma and Pa have been equally welcoming. “They’re the best ma and pa I could have ever asked for,” she says of Fitzgerald and Bracey. “Crosby is so funny ... even the most random moments, she can make us laugh. It’s just so easy to connect with her and act. It just flows.”

Meanwhile, she describes Bracey as “a calming presence on set.”

Halsey shares, “You can just focus and tap into him when things are getting chaotic. And he’s also an amazing actor. You can just listen to him and just follow what he’s doing and look into his eyes and just feel.”

Ultimately, Halsey is just excited for Little House fans to go on this journey with her and her castmates as they introduce the Ingalls family to a whole new generation.

“Little House, I think, is a story about growth and hope and family and community,” she says. “And it really is just... I think that I just hope that everybody enjoys it as much as I love making it. I think that the Little House stories are really beloved to so many people and I hope that they’ll love our show too.”

Little House on the Prairie season 1 is now on Netflix.

Meghan Markle and the couple's two young children are anticipated to join Prince Harry in the UK later this week, having initially withdrawn from London-based commitments over security concerns. However, the Duchess will not be accompanying her husband at tomorrow's Invictus Games one-year countdown event in Birmingham, as originally planned, nor will she appear at any other public engagements.

The family of four had been scheduled to travel to the U.K. together, arriving Monday evening, but it was determined that Harry would make the journey alone after the couple failed to secure taxpayer-funded security.

Nevertheless, Meghan is expected to travel to the U.K. later in the week with their children, following the arrangement of an enhanced private security package.

Should they make the trip, it would mark the first time Meghan and the couple's children, Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, have set foot in the U.K. in four years - since attending Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June 2022.

The visit would also create an opportunity for the family of four to meet with the King, who has only met his youngest grandchild, Lily, on one prior occasion.

The Duchess had originally been scheduled to accompany her husband at an Invictus Games event at the National Exhibition Center (NEC) on Friday, but sources confirmed Thursday evening that Meghan would not be present at the occasion, reports the Express.

Should the visit proceed, Meghan, Archie and Lilibet will attend private family gatherings only, with no planned public appearances.

A spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex declined to comment.

Damon and Barroso met in April 2003, and sparks instantly flew. Damon was filming the Farrelly brothers’ comedy *Stuck on You**, *while Barroso was working as a bartender. One day, Damon and his crew came into her bar for a drink, and the rest is history. The actor discussed their charmed meet-cute on *The Ellen DeGeneres* *Show* in 2011.

“I literally saw her across a crowded room, literally,” he recalled. “Eight years and four kids later, that’s my life. I don’t know how else our paths would’ve crossed if that didn’t happen.”

While Barroso didn’t start out in the same industry as her husband, she has dabbled in recent years. She served as an executive producer on Damon’s 2024 film *The Instigators *and was a producer on this year’s Netflix thriller *The Rip,* in which Damon costarred alongside his platonic life partner Ben Affleck.

She has one daughter from a previous marriage, Alexia

In 1999, Barroso welcomed her first daughter, Alexia, with her previous husband Arbello Barroso. After they divorced and Barroso linked up with Damon, the *Downsizing* actor took up the mantle of stepdad.

In an interview with *Vogue Australia* in 2018, Barroso discussed being a single mom to a young daughter while dating. In fact, she initially refused an early offer to go out with Damon and his friends because she needed to be home with Alexia. Damon, however, was more than understanding.

“I was like, ‘I can’t, I have a four-year-old daughter, I’m not going anywhere’… and that was one of the things he loved, that I had a daughter,” she said. “He said, ‘I love that you’re a mum and that’s your priority.’ Some guys might have been different, they might think it’s complicated, but for him it wasn’t.”

Alexia doesn’t seem to be interested in acting — despite a cameo in her father’s 2009 film *We Bought a Zoo *— but she is pursuing a healthy career in the film industry behind the scenes. In a recent interview with *E! News**,* Damon discussed Alexia’s burgeoning career in cinematography.

“She’s done about 12 movies,” he explained. “[She’s] worked on camera team[s] all over the world.” Her credits also include two of her dad’s titles, *The Instigators* (2024) and *The Last Duel *(2021).

Together, Damon and Barroso have welcomed three daughters: Stella in 2006, Gia in 2008, and Isabella in 2010.

On being a dad, Damon told *Fatherly* in 2021 that, “I feel like fatherhood has made my job a lot easier in a lot of ways. All those emotions that I used to have to reach for are just readily accessible. I don’t have to twist myself into knots to find something—it’s just sitting right there all the time.”

Damon has allowed his four daughters to enjoy some of the perks of having an A-list dad. They’ve joined him on various red carpets, visited the horses on the set of *True Grit* (2010), and even received a personalized birthday video from Harry Styles.

But your dad doesn’t need to be a celeb to enjoy the simple pleasures of tormenting him. Damon revealed that while he and his family were hunkering down in Ireland during the COVID-19 pandemic, he allowed his daughters to dye his hair red and give him a mohawk.

In a 2021 interview on *The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon* with pal Ben Affleck, Damon admitted, “I had let the kids dye my hair red. It was their art project basically, and it was clear that we weren’t going back to work. Then they decided that I needed a mohawk, so they mohawk-ed me.”

Still, Damon and Barroso do their best to not give their kids *too* much. In an interview with *Today* in 2017, the *Dogma* actor said he tried to avoid raising spoiled kids by giving away free toys that were sent to their family.

“They don’t need anything. So we send everything on to people who need it,” he explained. “When people send stuff to my kids, my kids have everything they need so we pass it right on. This is the life we’re giving them. It’s hard to figure out how to try to give them perspective.”

As for whether Damon’s three biological daughters will follow in Alexia’s film industry footsteps, he told *E! News*, “The other three might. I have one who’s at NYU now, who’s a fantastic writer, so I could see her following me into screenwriting. And we have two still in high school, so we’ll see.”

Damon knows that he’s “outnumbered” by women in his family, but he’s not embarrassed to be a girl dad.

Damon has happily taken his daughters to a Harry Styles concert, and he admitted to PEOPLE that he “knew every word to every song.”

“It was great. Yeah, yeah, it was great,” he added. “They love him. And that album dropped, or at least I became aware of it, in that first lockdown. So we had that on repeat.”

In 2024, Damon appeared on SiriusXM’s *Radio Andy**, *and host Andy Cohen asked him what he’s like when one of his daughters brings a boy home. When Damon said that he was “cool with that,” Cohen probed, jokingly, “You don’t turn all ‘Boston’?” Damon assured him he doesn’t.

“That’s like an old trope that I think people like to play up,” Damon responded. “Dads like to joke about it amongst each other, I think, sometimes.”

Cohen then asked Damon if he had any advice on being a girl dad, as Cohen is also a father to two-year-old Lucy.

“I wouldn’t deign to give anybody advice, other than I just try to listen and be helpful,” he admitted. “I mean, ultimately, it’s about building self-esteem, because, you know, 99% of the decisions they make, you’re not gonna be there.”
