Paul McCartney revived the Beatles’ classic hit “I Want to Hold Your Hand” for the first time in six decades during the wedding celebration of singer Taylor Swift and NFL player Travis Kelce. The performance took place last Friday at Madison Square Garden in New York City, where the couple held their star-studded reception.

Swift and Kelce, who first met nearly three years ago, marked their marriage with a high-profile event attended by numerous prominent figures from the entertainment and sports worlds. Among the guests arriving at the venue were musicians Ed Sheeran and Jack Antonoff, model Gigi Hadid, actors Lena Dunham, Hugh Grant, Bradley Cooper, and Ethan Hawke, as well as NFL players Cooper Kupp and JuJu Smith-Schuster.

The Beatles’ hit, which topped charts upon its release, had not been performed live by McCartney in approximately 60 years, making the appearance a noteworthy highlight of the evening. The event underscored the intersection of contemporary pop culture and music history, drawing widespread attention to the union of Swift and Kelce.

The celebration at Madison Square Garden brought together a diverse group of celebrities and athletes, reflecting the couple’s broad appeal and the high profile nature of the wedding.
