Pat McAfee is still thinking about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding nearly two weeks after attending the private celebration. The ESPN host offered a rare glimpse into the couple's big day, describing it as one of the most memorable events he has ever attended.

In the July 13 episode of The Pat McAfee Show, Pat McAfee reflected on the July 3 ceremony and reception, which brought together stars from the worlds of football, music and Hollywood.

"Taylor Swift is one of the greatest creators that the world has ever seen. I mean she puts on these stadium shows all around the globe,” McAfee said. “She has to entertain people that are 90 and also 15… think about her brain going to her dream wedding."

While he avoided revealing every detail, he made it clear the night exceeded every expectation. McAfee said watching someone capable of connecting with audiences across generations made the evening special.

"And Travis Kelce's energy in the middle of it. And the football world coming together with Hollywood and Nashville,” McAfee said in the July 13 episode of the show

McAfee continued by praising the atmosphere throughout the evening, saying he and his wife left with memories they would never forget.

"My wife and I had a blast," McAfee said. "They absolutely showcased that they are in love, it was very obvious. That wedding was a perfect night."

McAfee said guests respected the couple's wishes by putting away their phones and relying only on their memories. He went as far as to call the event "the most spectacular, grand thing" he has ever witnessed and said it was impossible to forget.

The wedding itself wasn't the only reason Swift and Kelce stayed in the spotlight over the past week.

Wedding weekend keeps fans talking

According to a report by Marca, only days after their own wedding, Swift and Kelce attended the wedding of former Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster and Laura Kruk on July 10. 

Photos from that celebration gave fans another look at the couple wearing their wedding bands as they enjoyed another milestone with friends.

Fresh speculation followed after Kelce was photographed arriving in Palm Beach on Swift's private jet. People Magazine reported that he stepped off the plane carrying a fluffy white dog, sparking rumors the couple had adopted a pet.

Fans also pointed to what looked like the same dog in photos from the wedding. Neither Swift nor Kelce has addressed the speculation.

McAfee's comments remain one of the few firsthand accounts to emerge from the year's most closely watched celebrity weddings.
