Megyn Kelly has sharply criticized Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding celebration, calling their choice of Madison Square Garden (MSG) in New York City as the venue "gauche" and overly attention-seeking. Speaking on her podcast alongside Daily Mail columnist Maureen Callahan, Kelly questioned the couple's decision to hold the high-profile ceremony at the iconic arena.
Kelly's Criticism of the Venue
"It's like, at first I really did not believe that she and he would get married at Madison Square Garden. It's so on the nose in terms of like, attention getting, and just so gauche," Kelly said. The multi-day wedding celebrations, which began on a Friday and continued into the early hours of Saturday, reportedly closed streets in Midtown Manhattan and drew hundreds of celebrity guests. According to the Associated Press, the event permit ran until 4 a.m. ET.
Fan and Critic Reactions
The celebration prompted large gatherings of Swift's fans, known as "Swifties," with some traveling to New York City to mark the occasion. While many fans welcomed the event, some critics described it as "tacky" or "performative." Callahan also criticized the scale, saying, "This is like a 7-year-old's idea of what a grand wedding is," later adding it was "Taylor's big fat Disney wedding."
Comparison to Meghan Markle
Kelly further compared Swift's public profile to that of Meghan Markle. "You know, she's got a little Meghan Markle in her, where, notwithstanding the fact that we all know who she is, she's got to make sure she's reminding us all she's relevant. She's everywhere. 'Admire me, look at me,'" Kelly said. Callahan joked that the wedding would "be a Netflix special."
Public Discussion
The remarks add to the wider public discussion surrounding the celebrity wedding, which has generated significant attention online and across entertainment media since the couple exchanged vows at Madison Square Garden. The event's opulence and high-profile nature continue to spark debate among fans and critics alike.
