Taylor Swift once penned "It's a love story, baby just say 'Yes.'" And now, her art has become reality. The massive pop star got married on July 3 to NFL player Travis Kelce at Madison Square Garden. Unsurprisingly, it seems like every celebrity and their grandmother and their dog was there. The New York Times published over 30 articles about the event. While details have been mostly under wraps, a new report reveals that Swift's pal Paul McCartney performed "I Want To Hold Your Hand."

"I Want To Hold Your Hand" was released in the UK in November 1963, and then December 1963 in the US. It became the Fab Four's first American #1 hit. The last time it was performed by the Beatles was in 1964 and no band member had performed it solo before Friday. “After the ceremony, Taylor’s mom Andrea invited everyone into the reception room where the stage was set up," a source told PEOPLE.

Stevie Nicks also sang, and Adam Sandler, who officiated the wedding, performed an original song about the newlyweds. The guest list included Andy Reid and the Chainsmokers.

The festivities reportedly included games with raffle prizes like designer bags, Cartier watches, and a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle (the car Swift and Kelce rode in on their first date).
