Overview
- Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were married in a private ceremony at Madison Square Garden on Friday, July 3, followed by a staged reception arranged by Swift’s mother where live performances took place.
- People reported that Paul McCartney took the stage at the reception and played the Beatles’ “I Want to Hold Your Hand,” a song setlist.fm records show he had not performed live since 1964.
- Multiple outlets corroborated that Fleetwood Mac singer Stevie Nicks also performed at the reception, with Good Morning America providing broadcast confirmation of her appearance.
- Coverage makes clear these accounts are sourced to People and setlist records and that McCartney’s camp had not issued a direct public statement in the stories published so far.
- The performances drew attention because they linked Swift to music figures she has long admired, and because reviving a Beatles staple after more than six decades highlights how major cultural moments can cross generations.
