Taylor Swift's response to Lena Dunham's NSFW joke at her intimate rehearsal dinner has come to light, after the quip reportedly divided the gathering of around 100 close friends.

Many dubbed it the 'royal wedding', and fans are still eager to learn every detail about the special day.

The celebrity couple are said to have had their reported 1000 guests sign strict NDAs, but there are a number of details that have been released to the public.

A statement released by Swift's publicist following the ceremony read: "The ceremony joined both families together, officiated by their friend Adam Sandler.

"Taylor and Travis did not have bridesmaids or groomsmen. Austin Swift served as Taylor's Man of Honor, and Jason Kelce was Travis' Best Man."

The statement further noted that both the bride and groom wore 'Christian Dior Haute Couture' for the big day.

"Their shoes were custom made by Christian Louboutin and the bride wore Cartier jewelry," it concluded.

But just the day before the pair tied the knot, they hosted a rehearsal dinner for just 100 of their close friends and family, with numerous A-list stars reportedly having made speeches to toast to the happy couple.

One of which was Lena Dunham, who's 'outrageous' joke allegedly split the room.

"American football is just straight guys reenacting gay p**n," she reportedly quipped, prompting a mix of gasps and laughter from the audience.

And while the crude joke might have offended certain guests, the bride hailed Dunham a 'genius' following her controversial speech.

Swift and Dunham have been close friends for more than a decade, with the pop superstar even serving as a bridesmaid at Dunham's 2021 wedding.

Among those invited to their wedding day included ABC's Good Morning America hosts, Robin Roberts, George Stephanopoulos and Michael Strahan.

And despite the wedding being held at the 820,000 square feet New York venue, Roberts confirmed 'it really was intimate'.

Stephanopoulos said: "It's hard to imagine that a wedding that big, and with such stars could feel so personal, and so intimate."

The Grammy-winning director, who has worked with Swift on several music videos, said: “Had a wonderful time at Taylor Swift/Travis Kelce's wedding last night. I got to meet Steven Spielberg and the lovely Kate Capshaw and talk filmmaking with the GOAT (lifelong dream achieved).

“What I will say about the wedding was it was so much funnier and emotional than expected, and as big as it was, it also felt very intimate. And yes, literally everyone was there. I told Lotte many times it was like living in the internet, and AI would crack if it tried to render it.

“Anyway congratulations Taylor and Travis! Wishing your beautiful family and future family endless happiness!”
