AP delivers dominant live video, pre-wedding scoops on Swift-Kelce nuptials 

AP delivered stellar coverage of the runup to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding and its live video won the day with customers and viewers on YouTube eager to catch any glimpse of the nuptials. Details about the wedding were sparse – with many doubting it would happen at Madison Square Garden – until law enforcement reporter Jake Offenhartz scored back-to-back stories confirming the wedding would be at the famed New York venue and then following up with the schedule. Offenhartz’s story on the schedule of the wedding day beat other outlets and provided the best details of what to expect before the wedding. 

On the wedding day, a host of AP staff braved blistering heat to provide daylong coverage in all formats.  With video by Emily Wang, Guido Neira and Aron Ranen, to reporting by Kimberlee Kruesi and Stephen Whyno, anchored by Andrew Dalton, and social video by Sahar Akbarzai, AP delivered key visuals and details about the wedding, one of the most secretive celebrity nuptials in recent memory, with speed and authority.
