LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: One of the biggest talking points from Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding was the bride and groom's custom-designed outfits. For their July 3 ceremony at Madison Square Garden, the couple turned to Dior creative director Jonathan Anderson to create their wedding looks.

The celebration was a private affair with very few details made public at the time. Now, after the ceremony, Anderson has shared what it was like working with the 14-time Grammy winner, describing the experience as both joyful and emotional.
