This morning on Good Morning America, the show’s co-hosts tiptoed around their observations of the Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce like the NDA signees they no doubt were, but AMC Theatres CEO Adam Aron wasn’t quite so compliant, at least initially.
In a post on X Friday night – soon deleted – Aron posted a lengthy and loving account of his wedding bell observations, starting with a note of gratitude: “It was such a privilege to be THERE.”
He continued, “Having been in Taylor Swift’s obit since AMC first took her Eras Tour move to theaters globally in 2023, and with AMC’s headquarters ironically located in Kansas City home to the Chiefs, I saw early on that true romance was at hand.”
“Tonight, a new era in that romantic story commenced.”
Then: “It did not look like Madison Square Garden. Immediately upon entry, everything… floors, walls, ceilings… was draped in peach and white. Large blown up pictures of Taylor and Travis at each age, year by year from one year-old to late teenager-hood, were on display.”
He continued, “A small portion of MSG was cordoned off, devoid of any notion that a basketball or hockey game ever shared that space. Somehow magically, someone created an outdoor garden at a lush countryside retreat. Everything draped off this time in green and white. Real flowers and I think artificial trees welcomed fifteen rows of maybe 75 or so chairs. They say there were around one thousand attendees, but surprisingly, it all felt intimate and small. Everything was close.”
Aron went on to describe the “relaxing and mellow romantic songs” and Kelce’s white tux and a “jaw-dropping” Swift “in a stunning white wedding dress with a long veiled train.” Showing some restraint, he didn’t name the officiant who “talked and sang and talked,” describing the unidentified Adam Sandler merely as “warm and welcoming, funny and eloquent.”
The vows, Aron said, were “Long, entertaining, personal, charming, emotional, irreverent and endearing explorations by each as to how they met, why they want to be with each other for all eternity, the promises they made in joining their much-beloved two whole families (Kelce’s and Swift’s) as one, and committing to their new mutual life together.”
After the rings and I dos, there was a “sweep you off your feet kiss” followed by “music, music, music.”
“I wish you all could have been there with me, to witness real, pure, true joy,” Aron wrote, and somehow he seems to have come as close a possible to getting his wish.
It’s unclear exactly how long Aron’s post remained on X before he took it down, but the site today has no shortage of screen-captured versions. Portions of the post even were read aloud on CNN today, though the correspondent didn’t name the leaker’s name.
