Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s five-figure bill for wedding permit revealed

Add Page Six on Google Welcome to New York, it’s been waiting for you — for $60,000.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce spent five figures on a city permit for their wedding day, according to TMZ.

Law enforcement sources told the outlet the bride and groom, both 36, paid to close 7th Avenue at Madison Square Garden in Manhattan on Friday.

The pair reportedly did so to help their 1,000-plus guests avoid traffic on their way to their star-studded event.

City Hall confirmed to The Post in June that a permit application was filed by Winick Productions with the city’s Street Activity Permit Office for July 2 to July 4.

The permit requested street closures around MSG and for a tent to be set up outside the iconic arena.

Swift and Kelce, notably, hosted an intimate rehearsal dinner at the venue on July 2 — and their nuptials the following evening were scheduled to last long past midnight.

Sure enough, A-listers were photographed leaving the reception as late as 1 a.m. in the early hours of the Fourth of July.

While the total cost of Swift and Kelce’s lavish wedding remains unknown at this time, TMZ previously reported that the police presence cost six figures alone.

MSG itself has made headlines for likely putting the couple back $1 million each day.

The newlyweds spent thousands on pizza alone, according to Us Weekly, and treated attendees to “unlimited food” and “loads of cakes,” according to guest Greg James.

Additionally, the reception featured games to play for tickets to participate in a high-end raffle.

The extravagant prizes included a Chanel handbag, won by Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Drue Tranquill’s wife, and Cartier watches, among other designer duds.

Swift is a billionaire, with the Grammy winner named the richest female musician in 2024.

As for Kelce, whom the songwriter got engaged to in August 2025, the athlete is worth an estimated $47.3 million, per Forbes.

Swift and the tight end have been together since the summer of 2023.
