NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's July 3 wedding remains one of the biggest talking points in entertainment. From official details shared by Swift's publicist to glimpses of the star-studded celebration, every new update has kept fans intrigued. Now, one of the guests has broken his silence.

Rapper Nelly, a longtime friend of Swift, has become the first celebrity attendee to publicly react to the couple's nuptials. While he kept his message short, his words offered an early glimpse into what those inside the celebration thought of the highly anticipated event.

Nelly calls Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding 'incredible' 

Rapper Nelly took to his Instagram Stories on Saturday, July 4, to share his thoughts after attending the couple's private July 3 ceremony at Madison Square Garden. The "Just a Dream" singer posted a short video while riding home in a limousine with his wife, Ashanti.

Dressed in a sharp white suit with layered chains and sunglasses, Nelly kept his message brief but enthusiastic. Writing over the clip, he said, "Shout out to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce!! Wedding was incredible."



Nelly's post is especially notable because he was among the invited guests at the star-studded celebration, making his message one of the first firsthand reactions to emerge after the ceremony.

His appearance at the wedding came as no surprise, given his long-standing friendship with Swift. The two have reunited on several occasions over the years, including during Swift's 1989 World Tour stop in St. Louis, where they performed Nelly's hit "Hot in Herre."

They reunited again at Karlie Kloss' birthday party in the Hamptons, where they gave an impromptu performance of "Dilemma." Swift stepped in to sing Kelly Rowland's parts, delighting guests at the celebration. Their performances over the years have reflected their long-standing friendship.

The choice wasn't entirely unexpected. Sandler has shared a warm friendship with both Swift and Kelce over the years, especially with the Kansas City Chiefs star.

Their bond grew stronger after Kelce appeared in 'Happy Gilmore 2,' and the actor has often spoken highly of him in interviews. Having Sandler officiate the ceremony added a personal touch to the intimate and unforgettable wedding.
