00:07This is exactly what Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey did.
00:11The glamorous wedding of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey held at Madison Square Garden not only became one of the
00:18most important and well-known celebrity events of the year, but also was surrounded by an extensive security service.
00:25According to New York City authorities, the couple paid over $160,000 in event permit fees to offset police overtime,
00:35road closures, and other city expenses related to their event.
00:39According to Mayor Zoran Mamdani, the fee was required to prevent any financial burden for taxpayers associated with extra security
00:48necessary to hold such an event.
00:50It is estimated that about 150 to 200 NYPD officers took part in the security process of this celebrity event.
