Taylor Swift paid more than $160,000 for street closures ahead of wedding, New York mayor says

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding required a massive police operation. Criticism that taxpayers had to foot the bill was met by the New York mayor. Taylor Swift has already paid.

New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani says Taylor Swift paid over $160,000 - around SEK 1.5 million - for the city's permission to close streets around Madison Square Garden ahead of her and Travis Kelce's wedding on July 4.

"Taylor Swift has already paid the cost of the permit that was filed, which was over $160,000 for that event and the effort around it. It was a permit that was finalized, I think, just a few days before the actual event," Mamdani said, according to Rolling Stone.

It is unclear whether additional police costs have been reimbursed.
