As Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding attendees prepare to depart from their luxurious hotel accommodations, they’re battling tired eyes and sipping on extra-large cups of coffee to shake off the morning haze before checking out.
Zach Ertz, once a prominent player for the Philadelphia Eagles, and his spouse Julie seemed fatigued as they stepped out on Saturday morning. Julie was spotted grasping what looked like an oversized iced coffee while precariously securing her claw hairpin to her tank top.
The couple’s laid-back travel attire starkly contrasted their glamorous appearance from the previous night. Julie opted for jeans and a tank top, while Zach chose to wear basketball shorts paired with a white T-shirt.
Meanwhile, Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford embraced a comfortable look as well, donning a white T-shirt and baseball cap, effectively masking his weary eyes with a pair of dark sunglasses.
Other guests departing the upscale Manhattan venue also favored comfort over fashion, likely due to New York City’s current heat wave, with temperatures projected to soar to 96 degrees Fahrenheit on Saturday.
The guests got barely any sleep after Swift and Kelce’s wedding, as they were up late partying away inside Madison Square Garden, where the couple hosted a garden-themed reception that also had arcade games.

Very little about the party has escaped the lips of guests, who were contracted under an iron-clad NDA leading up to the wedding.
Guests were even said to have received last-minute information about the nuptials in order to keep everything under a tight lid.
The couple also celebrated with more than just sports stars, as Swift’s Hollywood friends, such as Sabrina Carpenter and Hugh Grant, were also seen at the ceremony.
AMC CEO Adam Aron has given the most insight into the beautiful ceremony, writing in a now-deleted X post that the sports arena ‘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 said the space was ‘devoid of any notion that a basketball or hockey game [had] ever shared the space.’
‘Somehow, magically, someone created an outdoor garden at a lush countryside retreat,’ he wrote.
‘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.

‘It was such a privilege to be THERE,’ he wrote.
He also remarked on the couple’s vows, which both wrote their own, stating they were ‘long, entertaining, personal, charming, emotional, irreverent, and endearing.’
‘What was clear above all else was simply this: their profound love. This is no small love. Each at the absolute pinnacle of their worlds. Each so obviously head over heels about having found their soulmate.’
