Tom Hanks Offers Marriage Advice to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce at Toy Story 5 Premiere
At the Toy Story 5 premiere in Los Angeles on June 9, Tom Hanks offered eight words of marriage advice to Travis Kelce: 'The man must make the waffles on Sunday.' The comment came as Taylor Swift, who contributed a song to the film, attended the premiere and asked Hanks and Tim Allen to sign her 1995 Toy Story VHS. Reports indicate Swift and Kelce are set to marry on July 3 in New York City, with Madison Square Garden cited as the likely venue.
Tom Hanks, who has been married to Rita Wilson for 38 years, dispensed lighthearted marital wisdom at the Toy Story 5 premiere in Los Angeles on June 9, telling E! News that Travis Kelce should know 'the man must make the waffles on Sunday.' Taylor Swift attended the premiere in an off-the-shoulder, crystal-embellished Erdem dress, having contributed the track 'I Knew It, I Knew You' to the film's soundtrack, and brought a 1995 Toy Story VHS for Hanks and Tim Allen to sign. Hanks quipped that Swift should have also brought a VHS player so the item could be donated to the Smithsonian. The premiere appearance came amid widespread reporting that Swift and Kelce, both 36, are planning to wed on July 3 in New York City. Page Six reported the venue as Madison Square Garden, with one source noting the couple reportedly spent $3 million to hire the arena for at least three days. The arena's public schedule shows no events listed for July 2, 3, or 4. An earlier Rhode Island wedding rumor was publicly dismissed by the Ocean House resort's wedding planner via Instagram.
What's missing
Neither source confirms official engagement or wedding details directly from Swift or Kelce's representatives; all venue and date reporting relies on anonymous sources or circumstantial evidence such as the arena's public calendar.
How coverage differed
The New York Post framed the story primarily around celebrity wedding speculation and Swift's fashion choices, leaning into exclusive sourcing about the Madison Square Garden venue. Yahoo Finance provided more contextual detail about the wedding timeline and venue evidence, including the arena's public schedule and Travis Kelce's own statements about New York, presenting the story in a slightly more factual, less tabloid-driven tone.

Two opinion pieces published ahead of America's 250th anniversary argue that foundational American ideals are under threat — one focusing on the ideological drift of universities away from merit and civic education, the other on the erosion of a common national culture that once bridged class divides. Both pieces are written from a conservative perspective and appear in right-leaning outlets. The arguments reflect a broader debate about what American institutions should preserve or restore as the nation marks a major milestone.
