Jana Kramer has come to the defense of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s decision to have Adam Sandler officiate their wedding at Madison Square Garden, describing the choice as “sweet.”
“Initially, people were surprised, saying, ‘Oh, that’s an unexpected choice,’” she remarked on her “Whine Down” podcast this Friday, addressing the comedian’s involvement in the high-profile ceremony.
Reflecting on her experiences, the actress shared, “I had the pleasure of meeting Adam Sandler many years ago when I worked with him on the movie ‘Click.’”
“Thinking back, it does make sense to me now. He embodies that sentimental nature; he’s genuinely a sweet person,” she expressed. “He really is a good man. I can see him balancing humor with a grounded and heartfelt presence.”
Revisiting their time on the set of the 2006 film “One Tree Hill” alumna elaborated that Sandler, now 59, is known for being “very intentional with his words.”
She claimed that although the actor comes off as a huge personality on-screen, he is more “soft spoken” behind-the-scenes, making him a great officiant.
“A lot of comedians you think they’re going to be these very outwardly kind of crazy and wild, [and] he was so soft spoken,” she explained. “You know what I mean? Sweet and quiet.”
Swift’s longtime publicist, Tree Paine, confirmed to Page Six that the “Grown Ups” star officiated the ceremony at the iconic New York City venue on July 3.
The newlyweds appeared to have nudged Sandler to take on the job after he and Kelce shared the screen in the 2025 film “Happy Gilmore 2.”
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end made a memorable cameo in the comedy flick, as he wore only an apron while being smothered in honey by Bad Bunny, who also appeared in the film.
Swift and Kelce, both 36, tied the knot in front of 1,000 people, including celebrity pals like Selena Gomez and Gigi Hadid.
Instead of a traditional bridal party, the bride and groom chose to honor the pop star’s brother, Austin Swift, as her “Man of Honor” and the athlete’s brother, Jason Kelce, as the “Best Man.”
Since the extravagant soirée, the newlyweds made their first public appearance as husband and wife on Friday at Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster’s wedding.
