Taylor Swift has been slammed online as 'shallow' and 'obnoxious' after the song she walked down the aisle to has been leaked, following her enormous Madison Square Garden wedding to Travis Kelce.
Details of what many have dubbed the 'royal wedding' are gradually coming to light, despite Swift and Kelce requiring all 1,000 guests to sign strict non-disclosure agreements ahead of the ceremony on Friday (July 3).
Their big day prompted the closure of numerous roads in New York City, as the celebrity couple rented out the massive arena to celebrate with their family and friends, with hundreds of A-listers making the coveted guest list.
Details of the games played at the afterparty have been revealed, along with the luxury raffle, the food served, and the invitation designs that were sent out.

But now a source has spoken to US Weekly about the music that soundtracked the pair's special day, and the star has subsequently been blasted online.
It feels wrong to not anticipate one of the world's biggest pop stars not playing her own tracks at her wedding, particularly when she's known for writing some of the greatest love songs of all time, as per Swifties everywhere.
So when it was revealed that the 36-year-old walked down the aisle to a string rendition of her iconic 'Love Story', people on social media had a lot to say.
"Walk down the aisle to her own music ?!?! Lol, how obnoxious," one wrote on X.
While another posted: "How shallow do you have to be to do all the things she did here?"
"That is pretty darn self indulgent," a third added.
As a fourth wrote: "This woman's narcissism is off the charts."
The iconic track was released in 2008 as a single from the album Fearless, which went onto spend 35 weeks at number one in the charts.
And it's safe to say the romantic lyrics are suitable for such an occasion.
Speaking on the Bussin’ With the Boys podcast in 2024, her now-husband Kelce revealed his favorite Swift songs of all time.
The NFL star said: "I really started listening to Taylor’s music when she came out with 1989.
"I knew who she was before that - we were the same age, so through high school and everything, I knew who Taylor was as she was getting her career started - but I think 1989 was where it really started to go crazy. So I’m going to say 'Blank Space', because that was like the first."
Here are some of the celebs on Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's star-studded guest list who have shared snippets of the big day on social media…

The British radio host revealed on his Instagram Story: “I am currently experiencing the world's greatest hangover and am unable to reply to the hilarious number of messages I have received over the last 24 hours.
“But just&t to say: true to her word, of course the invitation arrived and of course I couldn't tell anyone. And oh my god what an unbelievably brilliant night. I'm off for a nap.”
He later told Radio 1 listeners that he initially thought it was a scam when he and his wife Bella Mackie received an electronic invite to Swift and Kelce's wedding
He said: "Until we were in there, there was a huge part us, that me and Bella were like, ‘This could not be real. This could be a scam.’ So until we were in, we thought we may have made a big trip here for nothing."
Once inside, the ceremony didn't disappoint. He went on: "You know at a wedding you sometimes get the first drink free, well this was you get the first 10,00 drinks free."
He said it was 'the best night, maybe ever'.
