America may have turned 250 years old this weekend, but the auspicious holiday was overshadowed by America’s version of a royal wedding.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce got hitched at Madison Square Garden on Friday, July 3, in what might go down as one of the most talked-about nuptials in U.S. history.
Your timeline has probably been taken over by people clutching their pearls about Lena Dunham’s gay porn joke during her speech and criticism of her guest list — which included Steven J. Demetriou, who is the CEO of the sole contractor for ICE’s Camp East Montana detention center.
But most of the jokes about the star-studded event were about the questionable taste level, Swift’s insistence on having a “private” wedding in the middle of New York City, getting Adam Sandler to officiate, and predictions for how Swift will turn her wedding into a money-making scheme.
While Swifties and Gaylors have been showering the ceremony with predictable levels of heavy praise despite only getting glimpses of the venue and the celebrities who attended, it seems like the rest of the internet has come together to make fun of Swift for being an out-of-touch billionaire and her guests for their outfit choices.
Criticism leveled at Swift is often tinged with misogyny, but at a time when most Americans are struggling to make ends meet and pay for housing, people are understandably expressing their frustration at the ostentatious display of wealth in a very American way — with dumb jokes and sarcasm. Since we could all use a little catharsis and humor in our lives right now, keep scrolling to see the funniest jokes roasting Swift and Kelce’s wedding.
