Nearly a year after Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce got engaged and in the wake of months of speculation and rumors, they are officially married. They tied the knot in Madison Square Garden on July 3, and they let the world know it happened by plastering it on a bright pink billboard outside The Garden. Now, people are having strong reactions to it, with some calling it cringe. However, The White House’s response to this event has led to big reactions too.
Some People Really Didn’t Like Taylor Swift’s Wedding Announcement
Since people were tracking wedding guests, like Selena Gomez and Donna Kelce, ahead of the wedding, it was pretty obvious that it really was going to happen in New York City on July 3. Then, seeing lots of A-list guests walk into Madison Square Garden further confirmed that. However, it was made official that Swift and Kelce had said “I do” when this billboard popped up outside Madison Square Garden:
As you can see, it’s a cheeky and cute way to announce the news (in my opinion), as the T&T in the “Just” nods to the couple’s initials. Of course, Swifties were stoked about this announcement and left comments on MSG’s Instagram like, “Baby, she said yes!” However, others were not here for it, as many on Reddit called it “tacky”:
- This is so fucking tacky. -AbsolutelyIris
- My first thought. Tacky, desperate and classless. -mhmcmw
- That pink sign looks horrible lol so tacky -izoldi
Over on X, there were also plenty of reactions to this announcement, as people commented things like:
- Refused to comment on this wedding until now but “just&t married!” has to be the worst thing i’ve seen yet. be so fr -kyle
- No words how pathetic this is 😭 -Dan21x
- Does anyone else find this just a bit nauseating -Frank
Overall, reactions to this billboard are all over the place, which is what tends to happen when Taylor Swift releases a project (I remember the The Tortured Poets Department reactions) or does anything big. However, this wedding was so massive, it even got a reaction from the White House. People have strong feelings about its over-the-top post, too.
However, The White House’s Response Also Led To Strong Reactions
After it was announced that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were officially married, The White House took to X to react. President Donald Trump’s team posted a photo of the MSG billboard and photoshopped it to say:
Trump is your president
That message replaced the “JusT&T married” sign. Then, like people’s reactions to the original billboard, folks on X had passionate things to say about this version of it, writing things like:
- This is the cringiest collapse of a nation in real time -Jamie Bonkiewicz
- Wouldn’t it be nice if for one day the White House just, I don’t know…. White housed? -Adam Kinzinger
- Stop it 👇😂😂😂 -Vince Langman
- lol what the hell is this -Matt Verderame
- Embarrassing ass shit from the White House, day 478992 -lindsey ok
Again, much like Swift’s initial announcement, The White House’s reaction was met with varying reactions.
This also came after The White House’s X account posted an image that is clearly inspired by Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour poster, but featured photos from American history as well as images of Trump. That was followed by a video that featured a banner that read “The American Era,” while the caption read: “NEXT ON AMERICA’S ERAS TOUR.” This all comes as the United States celebrates its 250th anniversary. Plus, while Swift’s wedding was on the 3rd in New York City, down in Washington D.C., Trump will hold a “TRUMP RALLY” and the “LARGEST FIREWORKS SHOW IN HISTORY” on the 4th.
Notably, the pop star and Trump have been critical of each other, and Swift endorsed Kamala Harris during the last presidential election.
Now, with all that being said, I’m sure people will have more things to say about both versions of this billboard. Meanwhile, I’m also sure Swift and Kelce are celebrating their big day, while America celebrates its milestone anniversary.
