Stevie Nicks is certainly no stranger to the Madison Square Garden stage, where she has performed several times over the years both as a soloist and with Fleetwood Mac. But, as special as each concert at MSG is probably, this one is destined to remain in the memory: Nicks in fact performed during the wedding of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.
Although details of the performance are still few, the hosts of Good Morning America Robin Roberts, Michael Strahan and George Stephanopoulos confirmed that Nicks did indeed take the stage. “We can confirm that yes, Stevie Nicks performed,” said Roberts, who attended the wedding along with her colleagues, during the broadcast that aired this morning. At the moment it is not yet known which song she performed or whether she shared the stage with anyone (perhaps Swift herself).
Nicks and Swift have long shared a mutual respect. In 2024 Nicks wrote a poem for The Tortured Poets Department by Swift, entitled For T — and meincluded in physical copies of the album. For her part, Swift mentions Nicks in Clara Bowthe last song on the standard edition of the album.
Nicks has always supported the couple's relationship. “At this moment in her life she is fine, and I believe she has a good man next to her,” she declared in her interview with Rolling Stone of 2024. He then added: «I hope they fall more and more in love and ride into the sunset together. He does his thing, she does hers, then they get together and get married and have kids if that's what he wants. That's all I wish for Taylor.”
Late last year, Swift opened up about her relationship with Nicks during an interview with The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. “Stevie Nicks is a part of my life in a way that continually influences me in a positive way,” she told Colbert. «Being able to talk to her, hear her on the phone and listen to everything she experienced… I feel really lucky that she shared with me her magical, wonderful and wisdom-filled approach to life».
Swift and Kelce officially got married Friday night. The couple had no bridesmaids or best men in the traditional sense. In their place, Taylor's brother, Austin Swift, filled the role of “Man of Honor“, while Jason Kelce was the groomsman. Adam Sandler officiated the ceremony.
As expected, the big event was packed with musicians, from Swift's closest collaborators, Jack Antonoff and Aaron Dessner, to music industry closest friends like Ed Sheeran, Selena Gomez, the Haim sisters, Sombr, Brad Paisley, Miranda Lambert, Kelsea Ballerini, Joe Don Rooney of Rascal Flatts and Maren Morris.
Also among the guests were some of Swift's closest friends, including Abigail Andersen, Ashley Avignone, Gigi Hadid, Lena Dunham and Zoë Kravitz. Karlie Kloss was also present with her husband Joshua Kushner, a surprise after rumors of a breakdown in her and Swift's friendship.
In addition to the world of music, Swift also wanted to invite several celebrities with whom she has formed a bond over the years, such as Mariska Hargitay of Law & Order: SVU. Dakota Johnson, Julianne Moore, Ethan Hawke, Hugh Grant, Jason Sudeikis, Charlie Day and Jessica Chastain contributed to the already impressive lineup of stars. Golden Globes host and longtime Swift fan Nikki Glaser also received an invitation, as did the host of Tonight ShowJimmy Fallon.
Of course, numerous athletes were on Kelce's side, including his Kansas City Chiefs teammates and head coach Andy Reid. Other NFL players were also there, including Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford. Kelce also invited two famous sports commentators, Erin Andrews and Greg Olsen, both former NFL players. Abby Wambach, present with her wife Glennon Doyle, represented football, while NFL commissioner Roger Goodell took part in the festivities.
