Singer Taylor Swift has reimbursed New York City $160,000 for police services related to her wedding, according to Mayor Zohran Mamdani. The reimbursement covers the costs associated with the police presence required for the event, which took place on July 3 and 4, surrounding Madison Square Garden in Manhattan. The city had closed multiple streets for the wedding, which attracted approximately 1,000 guests, including celebrities and athletes.
Mayor Mamdani confirmed that the permit for the event was finalized shortly before the wedding. The police response involved 150 to 200 officers working in high temperatures, with reports of some officers working extended shifts. Prior to the wedding, Rep. Nicole Malliotakis criticized Swift, suggesting that she should reimburse the city for police costs. However, Swift's fans defended her, noting her intention to cover the expenses. Mamdani also mentioned that the city would need to limit large-scale events due to the demands of other significant events occurring during the summer.
