Variety via Getty Images Taylor Swift paid more than $160,000 to cover police overtime as part of a New York City permit required for her and Travis Kelce’s wedding at Madison Square Garden.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani confirmed in a press conference on Friday that the billionaire pop star footed the bill for the increased law enforcement personnel required for the event.
Asked whether Swift would be paying the city back for the police overtime, Mamdani laughed and replied, “Taylor Swift will be paying … has paid already the cost of the permit that was lodged, which was over $160,000 for that event and for the response to that event. That was a permit that was finalized, I think, in just the days before the event itself.”
