Among the performers was rock legend Stevie Nicks, who has had a long-standing friendship with Swift. Robin Roberts, an attendee of the wedding, confirmed Nicks provided a musical contribution during the event when she appeared on Good Morning America the following morning. While the exact tunes performed by the Fleetwood Mac frontwoman were not disclosed, the presence of such a celebrated artist certainly heightened the occasion’s glamour.
Reports in the days leading up to the wedding suggested that Nicks was scheduled not only to attend but to perform, a detail that was also echoed in a piece by the New York Times on the day of the ceremony. It was confirmed that both Nicks and the legendary Paul McCartney had been slated to grace the stage, marking a unique collaboration between generations of music icons for this special occasion.
Swift and Nicks’ friendship traces back to the 2010 Grammy Awards, where the two artists graced the stage together. Their bond has only deepened over the years, with Swift often expressing gratitude for Nicks as a source of inspiration and wisdom. “I feel like she has lended her very magical, wonderful, wise approach,” Swift remarked in an interview, highlighting how much she values Nicks’ guidance in her life.
Nicks has also conveyed her admiration for Swift’s talent and her happiness for the couple. In a 2024 interview, she remarked on the positive place Swift finds herself in and expressed hope for a bright future with Kelce, stating, “I hope they fall deeper and deeper in love and ride off into the sunset.” This sentiment echoed the warm wishes of friends and family as the couple embarked on their married life together.
Prior to the nuptials, Swift made a playful nod to Nicks by wearing a shirt that read “Stevie Knicks” during a basketball game, further showcasing the affection and respect she holds for the iconic musician. Such gestures reveal the personal touch that defined the run-up to the wedding day.
The wedding itself saw an array of celebrity attendees, including fellow musician Ed Sheeran and his wife, Cherry Seaborn. While it remains unclear whether Sheeran performed during the ceremony, Swift has teased that keeping him from taking the stage would be a challenge given his love for entertaining at such occasions. The playful dynamic suggests a joyous atmosphere filled with laughter and music.
Swift and Kelce’s engagement was announced a year prior, following over two years of dating. They shared the happy news with fans through an Instagram post in August 2025, playfully referring to themselves as “your English teacher and your gym teacher,” which sparked excitement and anticipation for their future together.
As the couple steps into this new chapter of their lives, their wedding at Madison Square Garden stands as a testament to love, friendship, and the timeless connection nurtured through art and music. The presence of legends like Nicks and McCartney not only adds to the star power involved but also highlights the special bonds that define the world of entertainment.
