Mayor Zohran Mamdani confirmed on Friday that Taylor Swift paid New York City over $160,000 to cover expenses related to her wedding at Madison Square Garden. The payment served as a permit fee to reimburse the city for the resources used during the event, specifically covering the costs of increased law enforcement personnel and police overtime required to supervise the star-studded celebration. The billionaire pop star has already footed the bill for the response to the event.
