Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce tied the knot in a fairytale ceremony in NYC this week, and mysterious lights at the pop star’s Rhode Island home soon after possibly signaled that the newlyweds spent Fourth of July at the residence.
The 36-year-old Grammy winner walked down the aisle to say ‘I do’ to the NFL player at Madison Square Garden on Friday in front of 1,000 guests. The day before, an intimate rehearsal dinner was also held at the venue.
Leaked footage revealed an astonishing first look at the couple’s lavish nuptials, including the bride’s aisle and MSG castle’s ‘magic doors.’
And just one day after the wedding, an eyewitness told the Daily Mail that there was suddenly ‘activity’ at the $18 million waterfront abode ‘mid-day Saturday.’
Swift’s private jet landed at Connecticut’s Groton-New London Airport on Saturday afternoon, although it is not known who had been on the plane.
However, the insider noted that ‘there were people at her house’ in the late afternoon and during a firework display which occurred shortly before 9pm ET.

And just one day after the wedding, an eyewitness told the Daily Mail that there was suddenly ‘activity’ at the waterfront abode ‘mid-day Saturday’ as lights had been turned on
‘Three to four people were seen on the roof, although it was hard to see who it was,’ the eyewitness said.
‘Later on, it appeared they were hiding during the fireworks since you could see the top of their heads as they watched the colorful display.’
While figures could be made out from the public beach, which is at the bottom of the mansion, it was too dark to see any faces.

‘They are designed by Jonathan Anderson, Creative Director of Dior Women’s, Men’s and Haute Couture Collections, in close collaboration with the Bride and Groom,’ Paine shared.

Paine also revealed that Swift did not have bridesmaids and the NFL player did not have groomsmen for the ceremony.
‘Instead, her brother Austin Swift served as Taylor’s Man of Honor and Jason Kelce was Travis’ Best Man. The ceremony joined both families together and was officiated by friend Adam Sandler.’
