Taylor Swift<\/a> and Travis Kelce\u2019s Madison Square Garden wedding is drawing backlash from socialist commentators who say the celebrity spectacle showcased billionaire excess and disrupted New York City during a crowded holiday weekend.<\/p>\n

“Controversial opinion: I think this is a dramatic misuse of public resources,” socialist Twitch host Hasan Piker in a livestream Friday. “I think it\u2019s insane. I think it\u2019s a bad look. I think it\u2019s, it\u2019s, it\u2019s heightening the contradictions. It\u2019s showcasing one again that like, no matter how beloved a public figure you might be, you\u2019re still, if you\u2019re a billionaire, you\u2019re still a billionaire and you are going to do billionaire s–t.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

The pop star has historically been embraced by the left, including when she endorsed then-President Joe Biden and then-Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 race, when she criticized President Donald Trump over the George Floyd protests in 2020 and for her pro-abortion stance. Her massive Madison Square Garden wedding has reopened criticism of her billionaire status, with socialist voices blasting the spectacle as Manhattan dealt with holiday-weekend crowds, street closures and added pressure from the ongoing World Cup games.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“This is a glaringly obvious example of that. This is straightforwardly a flex I think. It is straightforwardly a flex to be like, \u2018Yeah, I can do this, f it.\u2019 And I kind of think it is a little tacky, at best,” Piker added.<\/p>\n

Swift and Kelce tied the knot on Friday at Maddison Square Garden (MSG) in front of 1,000 guests, keeping much of their garden-themed wedding<\/a> under wraps to the public.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital previously reported Swift wore a Christian Dior wedding dress, comedian Adam Sandler officiated the ceremony, and guests played a raffle game to win lavish prizes.<\/p>\n

Like other large events at MSG, the Swift-Kelce wedding led to street closures in the area, complicating access to transportation such as nearby Penn Station.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“She\u2019s just another psychotic billionaire. On a holiday weekend. Amidst all this worldwide suffering, the ultra-wealthy still have no compunction. Unreal,” Democratic Socialists of America member and political talk show “Majority Report” host Emma Vigeland posted<\/a> on X.<\/p>\n

“I’m sorry but he’s right. I’m sorry, swifties,” wrote pro-socialist account on X<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The backlash comes as socialist-aligned voices are gaining more influence in New York Democratic politics, with several candidates backed by Mayor Zohran Mamdani defeating incumbents in recent primaries.<\/p>\n

Democrats also took shots at the wedding, including former NYC Mayor Eric Adams’ spokesman Fabien Levy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Unpopular opinion but this takes Groomzilla and Bridezilla energy to a new level,” wrote Levy on X<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“This wedding is inconveniencing thousands of local residents, impacting the nation’s largest transit hub, and taking cops away from patrolling streets when we’re in a heightened threat environment,” Levy continued.<\/p>\n

The White House also weighed in, using the moment to poke fun at the fanfare surrounding the couple\u2019s nuptials by sharing a meme of Madison Square Garden\u2019s pink sign altered to read, “Trump is your president<\/a>.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
