Lena Dunham’s crude speech at Taylor Swift wedding ‘leaves guests gasping’

The celebrity world is abuzz this morning following Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s star-studded wedding extravaganza in Madison Square Garden last night.

Fans have lost count of the A-listers who were in attendance at the New York venue, with Adam Sandler officiating the ceremony and stars including Selena Gomez, Hugh Grant, Ed Sheeran and Gigi Hadid joining in the celebration.

Lena Dunham, who’s been a close friend of Taylor’s for years, was one of the people who reportedly made a speech at the bash, although she apparently raised a few eyebrows while doing so.

According to a source, Taylor and American football player Travis took it in turns to introduce each other’s loved ones when they addressed the room.

When it was Girls star Lena’s turn to take the mic, she supposedly sparked a very divided reaction.

‘American football is just straight guys reenacting gay porn,’ the Girls star said, an insider told the Mail.

It’s been claimed that guests ‘gasped and laughed’ in response to her joke, but Taylor backed her, declaring her friend a ‘genius’.

While several of the popstar’s friends were present to witness her tie the knot, there were some notable absences from the party.

Taylor’s former close friend Blake Lively was nowhere to be seen after their friendship was b believed to have fizzled following Blake’s legal battle with Justin Baldoni.

Lena’s friendship with Taylor goes back years, including dedicating her 2026 memoir Famesick to the Love Story singer.

‘TayTay — you sing the songs I wrote this book to… and yet somehow, miraculously, you also pick up every desperate call at every desperate hour,’ she wrote in her dedication.

Speaking to People previously about their friendship, the Too Much creator shared: ‘It’s a crazy thing, because she’s one of my best friends in the world but she’s also my favourite music.’

Ahead of Taylor and Travis’s wedding, Madison Square Garden was transformed for the event, with multiple roads surrounding the New York venue closed.

It was said that a castle-like set had been built inside, while hundreds of police officers were stationed on the streets.

New York mayor Zohran Mamdani recently joked about the wedding, saying at a press conference: ‘My recommendation to all New Yorkers is to stay inside and stay cool.

‘And if you happen to be getting married at Madison Square Garden, you will be staying inside, and you will be staying cool.’

Metro has contacted Taylor Swift’s representatives for comment.
