Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce reportedly went to extreme lengths to keep their wedding celebration private — with guests allegedly checked for hidden recording devices before entering Madison Square Garden.

The reported security measures went far beyond a simple no-phone policy.
The couple had already made headlines for their strict no-phone wedding policy.
But according to TMZ, security checks went beyond the phone ban, with guests also being checked for devices like smart glasses and other gadgets that could secretly record photos or videos. They were also reportedly required to follow strict security procedures before entering the venue.
The added security measures came as Swift and Kelce welcomed hundreds of guests, including some of the biggest names in music, Hollywood and sports, to celebrate their July 3 wedding in New York City.
Guests Shared Their Reactions to the Strict Phone Ban Policy

Celebrity guests later shared their lighthearted reactions to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's unusual wedding rules.
The star-studded guest list included Ed Sheeran, Jennifer Lawrence, Tom Hanks, Hugh Grant, Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid, among many other famous faces.
