Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid has revealed Adam Sandler urged Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift to ‘keep kissing’ throughout their marriage when officiating their wedding on Friday night.
The Hollywood icon was the surprise officiant at Swift and Kelce’s extravagant New York City ceremony, where the couple tied the knot in front of an estimated 1,000 guests at Madison Square Garden.
The celebration, which closed off the streets around the iconic arena, featured a who’s who of the A-list world, such as Bradley Cooper, Steven Spielberg and Jay-Z, with guests from Hollywood, the music industry, fashion and sports colliding.
Reid, who has coached Kelce since 2013, was there to watch his star tight end get married in the Big Apple, and two days on from the wedding he opened up on Sandler’s words of advice to Travis and Taylor during the service.
‘Adam Sandler conducted the service there and he told them to “keep kissing,” in its simplest form. That’s a good thing,’ Reid told reporters on Sunday.
‘It’s hard to argue when you give your wife a kiss or your wife gives you a kiss… And make sure you do it every day, every minute that you have an opportunity to. Knock it out, and you won’t have any problems.’

Kelce landed a cameo role in Sandler’s Happy Gilmore sequel last year, while he also invited the comedian onto his and brother Jason’s New Heights podcast in 2024.
During that podcast appearance, Sandler left the Kelce brothers in stitches when he explained how much Swift means to his family.
He said: ‘You guys being together, I mean… when you guys first started dating, my god was my family like, “Yes! Look how good they are together, he’s a gentleman! And she’s having so much fun with him!”
‘Like any time Taylor is laughing with you, my whole f***ing family is like high-fiving.’
Reid was one of several Chiefs figures at the wedding on Friday, with all but one of the entire roster invited.
Controversial kicker Harrison Butker was the only Kansas City player left off the guest list by Kelce and Swift, two years on from his divisive commencement speech at Benedictine College.
An NFL source told the Daily Mail that Butker, who has played alongside Kelce since 2017, was not at the wedding on Friday.

The three-time Super Bowl champion sparked uproar when he suggested women should prioritize being stay-at-home mothers over their careers during a commencement speech at Kansas City’s Benedictine College in 2024.
He also appeared to condemn then-President Joe Biden’s pro-abortion stance and the LGBTQ+ community, igniting outrage at the time. A petition for Butker to be cut by the Chiefs was signed by more than 260,000 people.
Amid the controversy, Kelce stood up for his teammate against the cancel culture backlash, describing him as a ‘great person’ – despite admitting he disagreed with almost every opinion he shared in the speech.
Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and Reid also leapt to Butker’s defense at the time.
