Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding may have been phone-free, but that hasn't stopped rumors from pouring out days after the celebration, and the details that have slipped out are a mix of romantic and hilarious. This week, a Daily Mail insider made some champagne and buffet-related allegations, but Tavia Hunt, the wife of Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt, is speaking out.

The details that have come out are both hilarious and romantic

The Daily Mail source claimed the couple's star-studded celebration at Madison Square Garden was plagued by long food lines, a champagne shortage, and seating issues.

An anonymous guest alleged the reception felt "slightly chaotic," claiming the champagne ran out early and guests - including celebrities like Julia Roberts and Steven Spielberg - had to wait in buffet lines for food. They added that the food "was not great."

Hunt quickly shut down those claims. Responding to an Instagram Reel by digital creator Zack Peter discussing the report, she wrote, "This is such a false narrative."

"They did not run out of champagne. There were no long lines," Hunt commented, before addressing another claim that guests were left standing during the ceremony.

"Every single person was seated for the ceremony," she continued, calling Swift and Kelce's vows "spectacular — beautiful, heartfelt, and absolutely perfect."

"It could not have been a more fabulous experience," Hunt added. "And frankly, it is inappropriate to say things like this when you clearly don't know what you're talking about. That is hearsay — not truth."

Nothing but good vibes

Hunt's comments echo what other guests have shared about the celebration.

The ceremony itself left a lasting impression. Speaking on Good Morning America, George Stephanopoulos revealed that both Swift and Kelce read from small books while exchanging vows they had written themselves. "The vows were everything you would hope for," he said. "Real, vulnerable, serious, and silly, deeply loving."

Their vows reportedly lasted 40 minutes, and Kelce was very emotional, crying more than Swift, per PEOPLE.

According to the outlet, the newlyweds spent the evening "beaming," with "a huge smile" never leaving either of their faces. The reception reportedly embraced a whimsical secret garden theme. 

"The whole evening felt very guest-centric," a source told the outlet. "There was always something to do, see, or play. There was never a dull moment."

The insider also revealed that guests enjoyed games, raffles, and interactive activities throughout the evening, while music icons Paul McCartney and Stevie Nicks performed after the ceremony.

Another personal touch included embroidered handkerchiefs featuring lyrics from Swift's song "Blank Space."

Still, everything that has come out is being judged. Including the bouquet she tossed into the crowd which was caught by  Kansas City Chiefs defensive lineman Trey Smith's sister Ashley Smith. After she posted some selfies online, people compared them to cilantro and weeds picked outside
