Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce officially tied the knot in a star-studded wedding at Madison Square Garden surrounded by their friends and loved ones. Celebrities such as Gigi Hadid, Bradley Cooper and Karlie Kloss attended the ceremony, and one name that may be familiar to some Canadians also appeared.
Paulina Gretzky, daughter of NHL legend Wayne Gretzky, was photographed arriving at the stadium in New York on Friday. On the eve of the celebration, the 37-year-old model was spotted through the window of a black car, sitting in the back seat.
Doors opened at 3 p.m. and guests walked through the tent and into the private area where the newlyweds exchanged vows later that evening. Other celebrities included Hugh Grant, Ethan Hawke, Mariska Hargitay, Ed Sheeran, Camila Cabello, Maren Morris, Kelsea Ballerini, Benson Boone, Zoe Kravitz and Jack Antonoff, among others.
Details about Swift and Kelsey’s wedding were few in the lead-up to the event. For weeks, some thought the couple was using the Manhattan venue as a front while their real wedding was planned elsewhere. But around 7:30 p.m., the marquees outside the arena lit up with the words “MARRIED ONLY!” to announce that the duo have made things official.

Last October, Swift appeared on The Graham Norton Show to promote his latest album, The life of a dancer. Norton asked if her wedding would take place in 2026, and she later explained that she wasn’t worried about the planning because she would invite “everyone I’ve ever talked to.”
For the most part, Swift kept her word; Her most recent guest list reportedly numbered 1,000 people. However, a source previously reported Us weekly the couple wavered “between inviting everyone and maintaining privacy.”
So, how did Polina get on the guest list? Turns out she spent some time golfing with Kelsey one day – along with her dad and husband Dustin Johnson.
In June 2024, Kelsey spent Father’s Day on the green with Wayne Gretzky and Johnson, a professional golfer. Polina also joined us and shared photos from the meeting on Instagram.
While it’s unclear how close Paulina is to Swift, her brief appearance on Friday shows the mom of two is no stranger to newlyweds.

Gretzky and Johnson began dating before the 2013 PGA Tour season. Soon after, the couple became major figures in world golf competitions, with Gretzky often standing next to the athlete to show her support.
Johnson proposed in August of that year, and the couple shared the news on social media: “Never been happier,” Johnson wrote in a post. “She said yes!”
The duo welcomed two sons, Tatum in 2015 and River in 2017, and eventually tied the knot in April 2022. They said “I do” at Blackberry Farm in Tennessee after nearly a decade of engagement.
