Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are officially husband and wife.
After months of teases, rumors and conflicting reports, the couple finally married in front of 1,000 of their closest friends – and the world's biggest stars – in a colossal blowout at Madison Square Garden on Friday.
They kept fans guessing until the very end, refusing to confirm when exactly they would say 'I Do', or indeed, if they already had.
But at exactly 7.30pm, the couple shared the news in blockbuster style, lighting up the iconic music venue with video ads which read 'JUST&T MARRIED!', in a romantic nod to their shared initials.
Both the bride and groom were dressed in Christian Dior, her publicist later announced.
Guests have since gushed over the 'epic, great and life changing' ceremony, with ABC's George Stephanopoulos joking: 'Who knew Madison Square Garden could be so intimate?'
Kelce's uncle, Don Blalock and wife Joan Bender Rice, arrived back at the Ritz around 1.15am, with Rice hailing the wedding as 'fantastic!'
Adam Sandler was the officiant, and delighted the crowd with a 'funny' and 'touching' service.
‘It was very funny, quite a long speech. I think everyone had a good time,’ he said.
There were no bridesmaids, instead, Taylor's brother Austin acted as her 'man of honor', and Travis's brother Jason was the best man.
Jason's daughters were the flower girls, tossing petals at Taylor's feet as she made her way down the aisle with a string quartet playing one of her own songs as she made her entrance.
The theme inside Madison Square Gardens was an old-fashioned fairground, with guests given a turn on mechanical slot and pinball machines.
Each of the 1,000 – including A-list actress Julia Roberts – was given a ticket during the celebrations, one of which was selected to win a major prize.
After the ceremony came an elegant dinner – before an Alice in Wonderland meets Wizard of Oz themed party on the lower level of the venue.
During the reception, Sir Paul McCartney was the surprise highlight, as the former Beatle stunned the crowd when he came onto the stage and sang I Want to Hold Your Hand.
McCartney’s presence and performance had been kept a complete secret and in having McCartney – hailed as one of the key geniuses behind the birth of modern pop music – as her wedding singer, Swift has pulled off an astonishing coup.
A guest at the wedding said that the festivities were spectacular and at an unprecedented scale.
At one point, American football star Kelce even had a try at joining in the singing himself.
There were a number of performers aside from McCartney, who has had a home in the Hamptons for decades.
As well as a dinner there were food stations around the venue so that guests could top up on food, with one saying that there was some ‘chaos’ around them.
The guest list was a dazzling array of the world's biggest stars.
Selena Gomez, Gigi Hadid, Lena Dunham and Dakota Johnson were among the bride's closest friends there.
Steven Spielberg was also in attendance, and Beyonce and Jay Z are also understood to have attended.
There was also Brad Pitt, Ed Sheeran, Dua Lipa, Hugh Grant, Graham Norton, Jessica Alba, Tom Brady, Chris Rock and almost every NFL player imaginable.
The guest list also included Graham Norton, Ethan Hawke, Nelly, Andrew Scott, Ice Spice, Kareem Hunt and Laura Dern.
They all arrived at MSG in air-conditioned SUVs, while an army of NYPD officers and fans sweated it out on the streets amid suffocating, 100 degree temperatures.
