Mike Vrabel shares details of Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s wedding
New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel was recently asked about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding. The question didn’t come from a reporter, but from Olivia, the 8-year-old daughter of Boston Herald’s Doug Kyed.
It was a departure from the norm for Vrabel, who usually gives the opening question to MassLive reporter Karen Guregian. Vrabel took his spot at the podium and opened with, “Karen, you might get trumped this morning. Olivia, welcome. How have you been? It’s good to see you. Did you have a question today?”
“How was Taylor’s wedding?” asked the kid. “It was good,” Vrabel said, perking up. “Thank you. It was a fairy tale, or whatever she says in that song, but thanks for asking. You a fan of hers?” Olivia nodded and confirmed that she was, per USA Today.
On July 3, Mike Vrabel joined a long list of big names at Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding. The 50-year-old looked sharp in a tuxedo alongside his wife, Jen, who wore a seafoam blue dress. Footage obtained by the New York Post’s Page Six showed the couple arriving by car ahead of the ceremony.
Between strict non-disclosure agreements and a no-phone policy, most of what happened inside stayed private. Still, comments from attendees like Vrabel and a few leaked reports have revealed some key moments.
The first being that actor and longtime friend Adam Sandler officiated the ceremony. Instead of a traditional bridal party, the pop star’s brother Austin served as Man of Honor while the groom’s brother Jason Kelce was Best Man. The reception also featured performances from Stevie Nicks and Paul McCartney, with McCartney playing the Beatles’ “I Want to Hold Your Hand.”
