Harry Styles Jokes About Taylor Swift’s MSG Wedding During Residency Show

During the third night of his Madison Square Garden residency, Harry Styles playfully referenced Taylor Swift's wedding to Travis Kelce to a roaring crowd. The joke came as he praised the venue's recent history, quipping, "We're at Madison Square Garden, home of the world champion New York Knicks!" before adding, "And they also do weddings."

The comment, a nod to Swift and Kelce's July 3 wedding at the arena, elicited enthusiastic applause from the audience. Styles and Swift were previously romantically linked from November 2012 to January 2013, a relationship believed to have inspired Swift's 2014 hit "Style." Despite receiving an invitation to the Swift-Kelce wedding, Styles opted not to attend, as he was reportedly "currently on tour and will not make it to MSG."

His fiancée, Zoë Kravitz, did attend the ceremony without him. Styles was in the midst of performing the London leg of his Together, Together tour on that night, and footage from the July 3 Wembley show showed him singing his 2017 track "Two Ghosts," which many speculate is a response to "Style." The joke added to the star power of the residency, which is Styles' first live show since 2023 in support of his new album Kiss All the Time.

The 30-show MSG run, spanning his entire 2026 U.S. tour dates through Halloween, saw record-breaking presale ticket registrations of 11.5 million in January, according to Ticketmaster. In a poignant opening night, Styles paid tribute to the late Dolly Parton, thanking musicians who had inspired him over the years and having her 1974 rendition of "I Will Always Love You" played over the PA system, with Zoë Kravitz, Gayle King, and Drew Barrymore in attendance. The set concluded with "Sign of the Times" and "Aperture."
