The Price of Paparazzi Paradise: Taylor Swift's $160K Wedding Fee Raises Questions on Event Security Taylor Swift paid New York City a reported $160,000 for police permits and fees related to her July 3 wedding to Travis Kelce at Madison Square Garden.
This payment has reignited the debate over who should foot the bill for event security. The permit fee is just part of the story; additional costs, including overtime expenses for NYPD personnel, remain unclear.
The estimated $15 million price tag for the entire multi day event was highlighted in media reports before Swift's payment.
