Harry Styles cheekily references ex Taylor Swift's wedding to Travis Kelce at Madison Square Garden

Harry Styles gave his ex-girlfriend Taylor Swift a cheeky shout-out during his Madison Square Garden concert, referencing her recent wedding to Travis Kelce as he performed at the New York venue.

Styles made the remark at the end of his concert on Saturday night, playfully acknowledging that Swift had recently married Kelce at Madison Square Garden. The reference came as Styles performed at the same iconic venue, giving the moment an added layer of irony.

Swift and Kelce tied the knot at Madison Square Garden earlier this summer in a star-studded ceremony attended by around 1,000 guests. The wedding brought together major names from music, sport and entertainment, with Adam Sandler officiating the ceremony.

Styles and Swift dated briefly in 2012 and 2013, when both were among the world's biggest young pop stars. Their relationship lasted only a few months, but it has remained a subject of fascination among fans, particularly because both artists later referenced aspects of their relationships in their music.

The singer's latest reference comes during a major return to live performances. His Madison Square Garden show is part of his current run of concerts supporting his latest music, bringing him back to one of New York's most famous stages.

For Swift, the Madison Square Garden wedding marked the beginning of a new chapter with Kelce, whom she began dating in 2023 after the NFL star publicly revealed that he had tried to meet her during her Eras Tour.

Styles' decision to acknowledge the wedding during his show was brief and playful rather than a serious discussion of his former relationship with Swift. Still, given their history and the significance of the venue, the unexpected shout-out quickly became one of the most talked-about moments from the concert.
