Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce managed to transform Madison Square Garden — a 19,500 person arena — into an “intimate” and “personal” wedding venue filled with people they love, according to the Good Morning America co-anchors, who all attended Friday’s wedding.

“It really was intimate,” Robin Roberts said Saturday on a special July Fourth edition of GMA, later adding, “They had their neighbors, their high school friends. It was like any wedding that you would attend.”

Roberts said that Swift and Kelce wrote their own vows, with George Stephanopoulos adding that the couple’s vows were written in “little books.”

“It was their dream wedding and it really was amazing,” Michael Strahan said about the ceremony, which was reported to have been attended by around 1,000 guests.

Swift and Kelce have not commented on details about their wedding. A representative for Swift confirmed in a statement to ABC News Friday that the couple wed in a ceremony in New York City officiated by actor and comedian Adam Sandler.

Swift’s brother, Austin, served as her “man of honor,” while Kelce’s brother, Jason, served as his best man. They were the only members of the wedding party, according to the rep.

Swift and Kelce’s wedding celebration Friday was scheduled to take place from 4 p.m. to 4 a.m., sources previously told ABC News.

Stephanopoulos said that the couple turned MSG, home to the New York Knicks and Rangers, into a garden of its own.

“[It was] as intimate as it could possibly be given that it was Madison Square Garden. Really this garden inside the Garden. Just so beautiful,” he said. “It’s hard to imagine that a place that big and a wedding with such stars could feel so personal and so intimate.”

Roberts added of the transformation of MSG, “You couldn’t recognize it.”

In addition to Roberts, Stephanopoulos and Strahan, other guests at the wedding were said to have included Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper, Benson Boone, Ethan Hawke, Abby Wambach, Jason Sudeikis and NFL stars including Matthew Stafford, Baker Mayfield, Cooper Kupp and Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs teammates.

Roberts also revealed that music legend Stevie Nicks performed.

While America commemorates its 250th anniversary on Fourth of July, the Beyhive has another reason to celebrate. Beyoncé has released her first new song in two years, “MORNING DEW (DONK),” which she co-wrote with The-Dream, Darius Dixon and Pharrell, and co-produced with Pharrell.

The song arrives with a lyric video directed by Cliff Watts and featuring recycled footage. It kicks off the countdown to her birthday on Sept. 4, which will also mark the 20th anniversary of her album B’Day. She is paying tribute to the album with the upcoming release of a 20th anniversary edition.

B’Day marked Bey’s sophomore solo album and featured singles “Ring the Alarm,” “Déjà Vu” featuring JAY-Z and “Irreplaceable,” among others. It charted atop the Billboard 200, becoming her second solo #1 album. It’s now certified 5x Platinum by the RIAA.

Sparks are flying for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, whose second wedding event is reportedly being held today at Madison Square Garden, sources familiar with the plans told ABC News.

The event today is slated to take place around 4 p.m. beginning with a cocktail hour. One thousand people are expected to be in attendance at the event, which isn’t scheduled to end until 4 a.m. Saturday morning, sources told ABC News earlier this week.

On Thursday, an SUV with tinted windows believed to be transporting Swift was spotted arriving at MSG around 5 p.m., according to a photo released by Reuters.

Swift and Kelce were scheduled to hold an event at the arena beginning at 6 p.m. for around 100 people, sources previously said.

For both events, a strict no-phone policy is in place for everyone inside the venue, including guests, vendors and security personnel, according to sources.

Representatives for Swift or Kelce have not confirmed any details about the events.

Outside of MSG, home to the New York Knicks, the New York Police Department has put around one dozen street closures in place over Thursday and Friday because of the events.

In addition, access to Moynihan Train Hall and Penn Station, where travelers catch Amtrak and commuter trains, is also being limited, the NYPD said Thursday.

Leading up to this week, there had been growing reports that the couple may tie the knot around the Fourth of July holiday, but neither Swift nor Kelce had confirmed any details publicly.

On Thursday, just hours before their first reported event at MSG, a representative for Swift confirmed to ABC News that she and Kelce had donated $26 million to charities both in New York City and across the United States.

The “Shake It Off” singer and Kansas City Chiefs tight end announced their engagement in August last year, after first sparking speculation about their relationship in the fall of 2023.

Mötley Crüe bassist Nikki Sixx marked his 25th sobriety anniversary on Thursday.

“It’s hard to wrap a lifetime of lessons into a few paragraphs, but one thing has never changed: sobriety gave me a life I never imagined was possible,” Sixx writes in an Instagram post. “It gave me my family. It taught me how to be present instead of just existing. It showed me what it means to be a husband, a father, a friend, and a bandmate—not perfectly, but honestly.”

Sixx detailed his drug use in his 2007 book, The Heroin Diaries, which was accompanied by the debut Sixx:A.M. album, The Heroin Diaries Soundtrack.

“If my story helps even one person believe there’s another way, then every scar has found a purpose,” Sixx now says. “Twenty-five years later, I don’t celebrate perfection. I celebrate progress. I celebrate love. I celebrate the people who walked beside me when I couldn’t walk alone.”

Godfather of Harlem, the TV drama about 1960s Harlem gangster Bumpy Johnson, is coming to an end after four seasons, Deadline reports. Instead of a fifth season, the series will wrap with a two-hour series finale. Production is set to begin July 10 in Brooklyn. “Playing Bumpy Johnson has been one of the greatest experiences of my career,” Forest Whitaker said in a statement. “This character, this story, and this ensemble have allowed me to explore the complexity of a man caught between ambition, loyalty, and survival.”

Remy Ma will join Rick Ross as a special guest when his Port of Miami tour hits New York. “NEW YORK… It’s only right. @remyma joins me for the #POM20 celebration. See you at the Beacon Theatre,” he wrote on Instagram. The show takes place on July 10.

New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani revealed 50 Cent is one of his dream dinner party guests in an interview with Complex’s 360 with Jillian. He said he’d choose him so “we could have a conversation around tax policy.” Elsewhere in the interview, he joked that A$AP Rocky is no competition in a rap battle and that he has a soft spot for Cardi B, who he deems the queen of New York. The full interview is now on YouTube.
