Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding team burned the couple’s custom décor after their July 3 ceremony, a source claims.
The insider, speaking to the outlet on Tuesday, said crew members were instructed to “dispose” of the elaborate decorations to eliminate “any traces” of the event. “They didn’t want people to steal it and then auction it or sell it, so they just burned it all,” the source alleged.
The furnishings reportedly included monogrammed pieces bearing two interlocking Ts and garden-like structures. These items were transported from New York back to Pennsylvania, where they had originally been constructed, specifically for incineration.
“They had told us it was going to be incinerated, but I don’t know where they actually physically incinerated it,” the source added. The sets required eleven semi-trucks for transport, which the insider described as “super packed.”
“The fact that no one has relics of it and it all had to get burned and properly disposed of is kind of crazy,” the source continued. “Eleven semi-trucks to transport cross-country and then just burn it all down was pretty wild, just because you don’t want people [to have access to it].”
Swift, 36, did not personally issue the disposal order. However, she was deeply involved in planning and designing the ceremony because she “didn’t want to just be handed a wedding.”
Kelce, 37, and Swift exchanged vows at the Manhattan venue in front of a star-studded crowd that included Selena Gomez, Brad Pitt, Dakota Johnson and Ed Sheeran. Multiple camera crews filmed the proceedings, with one source saying, “It felt like you were at a movie set.” Kelce himself would later call it “the best night of my life.”
The couple had initially planned even more elaborate features for the celebration. Reports said Monday that a two-story carousel and a man-made pond beneath the altar were scrapped during planning.
The carousel carried a $7 million price tag and was replaced with a large tent housing carnival games. The pond was abandoned over safety concerns and because it would “require too much engineering.”
“The edges weren’t tall enough, and it would be really easy to fall over,” an insider claimed regarding the rejected water feature.
An eyewitness previously shared additional details with the outlet about the reception, which took place inside a “castle” structure and featured numerous food stations and bars throughout the space.
The outlet had earlier obtained exclusive photographs of the lavish decorations that were later destroyed. Representatives for Swift and MSG did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
