BBC Radio 1 presenter Greg James has confirmed that he attended the much-anticipated wedding of pop superstar Taylor Swift and NFL star Travis Kelce, putting an end to months of speculation.

The broadcaster shared the news on his Instagram Stories, revealing he was among the 1,000 guests at the lavish New York City ceremony held on July 3 . His confirmation came after fans questioned whether he had made the guest list following his public invitation from the singer during a radio interview in October 2025 .

James posted a humorous photo of a slice of pizza alongside a candid message about his post-wedding state. "I am currently experiencing the world's greatest hangover and unable to reply to the hilarious number of messages I have received over the last 24hrs," he joked .

The DJ confirmed that Swift had been true to her word. "But just&t to say: true to her word, of course the invitation arrived and I couldn't tell anyone. And oh my God, what an unbelievably brilliant night. I'm off for a nap," he wrote .

James also shared a photo of himself and his wife, author Bella Mackie, dressed for the occasion . The couple appeared to have kept the invitation a closely guarded secret, complying with strict non-disclosure agreements reportedly required of all guests .

The invitation originated during a light-hearted BBC Radio 1 interview when James joked about wanting to meet the NFL star. Swift laughed and responded that he would have the chance, telling him he was "obviously" invited to the wedding .

The ceremony took place at Madison Square Garden, transforming the iconic venue into a romantic setting. The couple announced their marriage by lighting up the arena's exterior with video ads reading "JUST&T MARRIED!" at 7:30 p.m., a creative nod to their shared initials .

The event was officiated by actor Adam Sandler, a longtime friend of Kelce, who appeared alongside him in Happy Gilmore 2 . Swift's brother, Austin Swift, served as her man of honor, while Kelce's brother, Jason Kelce, was the best man .

The couple's wedding attire was designed by Christian Dior Haute Couture, featuring custom footwear by Christian Louboutin. Swift accessorized with Cartier jewelry .

The guest list read like a who's who of entertainment and sports. Attendees included Selena Gomez, Gigi Hadid, Ed Sheeran, Dua Lipa, Tom Brady, Brad Pitt, and Hugh Grant . The couple reportedly exchanged vows that lasted around 20 minutes, with Swift even singing during the ceremony .

In addition to the celebrity spectacle, the couple made a significant charitable gesture, donating $26 million to various causes, including food banks, arts education, and pediatric cancer charities .

James's relationship with Swift dates back more than a decade, to when he drove the singer around London in a car he described as a "dodgy hatchback" . The radio host had previously admitted on This Morning that he was still waiting to hear if the invitation would arrive, making the final confirmation a delightful surprise for his followers .

Despite his busy schedule, which included a podcast appearance in Sheffield just before the wedding, James managed to make the transatlantic journey to witness the event he called an "unbelievably brilliant night" . The wedding weekend, which reportedly cost an estimated $35-50 million, marks the culmination of Swift and Kelce's public romance that began in 2023 .
