What Song Did Paul McCartney Play at Taylor Swift's Wedding?
The Beatles legend reportedly serenaded Swift and Travis Kelce with a classic hit at their star-studded Madison Square Garden reception.

When you have a wedding guest list of 1,000, you need a showstopping soundtrack. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce reportedly got just that, with a little help from a music legend.
According to a report from Page Six, Sir Paul McCartney performed the Beatles' 1963 hit "I Want to Hold Your Hand" for the newlyweds at their Madison Square Garden reception on Friday evening. A source for People confirmed the performance, saying, "After the ceremony, Taylor’s mom Andrea invited everyone into the reception room where the stage was set up."
The Grammy winner's longtime pal, Fleetwood Mac singer Stevie Nicks, was also said to have performed at the star-studded extravaganza, which stretched into the early morning hours Saturday. Page Six had previously reported that Stevie Nicks and Tim McGraw would entertain guests.
The wedding itself was a massive affair, with the couple summoning 1,000 guests to the New York City arena. A more intimate rehearsal dinner for 100 was held the night before at the same venue, including guests like Selena Gomez, sports reporter Erin Andrews, Kelce's pal Ross Travis, and Swift's longtime publicist, Tree Paine.
Following the bash, signs outside Madison Square Garden reportedly read "JUST T MARRIED." The Empire State Building spires reportedly showcased a blue light show, acting as the "Blank Space" singer's "something blue."
While the performances by McCartney and Nicks are widely reported, they have not been officially confirmed by the artists' representatives. Reps for McCartney and Swift did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment Saturday. McCartney and Swift have been friends for years, and once appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone together in 2020. The pair have a long history, having also posed for the cover of Rolling Stone together in 2020. The wedding celebration was a multi-day event, beginning with a rehearsal dinner on Thursday evening for 100 members of the couple's inner circle before the main reception on Friday. The reception at Madison Square Garden featured a stage setup, as described by the source to People. The guest list for the main event reportedly included both A-list celebrities and close family members, all gathered to celebrate the union of the pop superstar and the NFL star at the iconic New York City venue.
