"I'm in this picture with a bunch of girls. A lot — not just me and Selena — a few of the other girls found their person right after that. And the fact that it was right before the Kansas City show, where like, I'd been like, 'Happy Independence Day from your local, single girlies' or something like that. And then I the next day go and play in Kansas City — not knowing that Travis was gonna come to the show."

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 in a post he later deleted, but not before it was screengrabbed by fans.
He added that "a small portion of MSG was cordoned off" and "magically, someone created an outdoor garden at a lush countryside retreat. 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."
Despite the scale of the wedding, Adam said, "it all felt intimate and small. Everything was close."
