Podcaster Megyn Kelly has criticized Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's recent wedding celebration, describing the event as "gauche" and excessively attention-seeking. Kelly made the comments on her show with guest Maureen Callahan, a columnist for the Daily Mail.
The multi-day festivities, which took place at New York City's Madison Square Garden, drew both praise and criticism. The event reportedly closed streets in midtown Manhattan and cost millions of dollars. The wedding ceremonies reportedly began Friday and were scheduled to continue until 4 a.m. ET on Saturday, July 4th.
Swift's fans, known as "Swifties," expressed delight over the couple's marriage, with some traveling to New York City to show their support. However, critics have labeled the celebration as "tacky" and "performative."
Callahan echoed these sentiments, likening the wedding to a "7-year-old's idea of what a grand wedding is" and referring to it as "Taylor's big fat Disney wedding." She also quipped that the event would "be a Netflix special."
Kelly drew a parallel between Swift and Meghan Markle, suggesting Swift, like the Duchess of Sussex, needs to constantly remind people of her relevance. "She's everywhere. 'Admire me, look at me,'" Kelly said. "So, yeah, it actually does kind of track."
