Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce tapped Adam Sandler to officiate their black-tie wedding at Madison Square Garden.
The actor and comedian, 59, officiated the New York City wedding of the "Fate of Ophelia" singer and Kansas City Chief tight end, both 36, on Friday, July 3, per a press release shared with PEOPLE.
Swift and Kelce did not have a wedding party — instead, Swift's brother Austin served as her Man of Honor and Kelce's brother Jason was his Best Man.
Sandler, described as a "friend" of the couple, costarred with Travis in the 2025 movie Happy Gilmore 2.

Sandler has previously expressed his admiration — and nerves — for Swift. He attended the premiere of Swift's Eras Tour Film in Los Angeles in October 2023 with his two daughters, Sunny, 17, and Sadie, 20. Swift hugged the trio before leaving. A few months later, Sandler admitted that Swift is the one star that makes him nervous.
"You know what, Taylor Swift, because what she means to my kids, I get a little jumpy. Just 'cause I don't wanna blow it for my kids," Sandler said on an episode of SiriusXM'sConan O'Brien Needs a Friend in February 2024. "So I'm a little like, 'Taylor, Taylor,' like I talk a little too loud or something. I don't stay as cool as I can."
He added of Swift's song lyrics, "There's not a word my kids don't know. I know them too, by the way. But they know them inside and out."

In September 2024, Sandler revealed his favorite song by Swift, and the special connection it has with his daughters.
“Everything [my two daughters] throw on I love, but one of the first ones they threw on when they were young was 'The Best Day,' ” he told Billboard. “We connected with that when the kids were young. Every album, we listen the first day it comes out. There’s not a song they don’t know every word to."

Sandler also has a connection with Kelce, 36, who made a cameo in his movie Happy Gilmore 2.
"[My daughters] love Taylor, I love Taylor. Travis is just nice enough. He wanted to do something, so we wrote something for Travis. And when he said yes, my girls were very excited, including my wife. Everybody loves him," Sandler told Extra at the New York City premiere of the film in July 2025.
That same month while chatting withEntertainment Tonight, Sandler said, "Travis is such a gentle, nice guy, and funny as hell. He’s like the guys I grew up with. When I was with Travis, it reminded me of my buddies in high school and just being able to laugh and say the things you want to say."
Reiterating that Kelce is “a stud,” Sandler added that the Kansas City Chiefs tight end is “a great actor and a great human.”
