New York lawmakers are debating whether to offer a sweet taxpayer-funded wedding gift to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, The Post has learned.
State Assembly Democrats on Tuesday discussed adding a $250,000 item in New York’s overdue budget to provide security for the Swift-Kelce nuptials, which will take place in the Big Apple on July 3.
But an Assembly insider said the funding — sure to be politically controversial — was then pulled from the agenda.
Discussions centered on whether to use state troopers to provide security for the wealthy, celebrity power couple, who can afford to pay for their own protection.
A source familiar with the deliberations noted that Swift has long criticized President Trump, and the two have publicly feuded.

Insanity.
That, is a real snapshot on our screwed up political cuckolds running our dystopian society.
She’s worth $1.8 billion and he worth $90 million and the taxpayer will give them more ? LOL Oh tax refund ,LOL
WTHeck??
Way to treat the NY taxpayers.
Hildebeast wants a refund, NOW.
He’s a multi-millionaire, she’s a billionaire. Let them pay for their own security. Sheesh.
You can’t be serious?
Don’t call me Shirley.

“”wealthy, celebrity power couple, who can afford to pay for their own protection.””
Publicize the name and pictures of anyone proposing such a ridiculous action!!!
Homeless veterans will have to fend for themselves. We had to give some money to Taylor Swift.
He’s good for two years max, then he’ll be thrown away like an
old shoe.
What happened to paying your fair share? Or are some animals more equal than others?
This is bull💩. Period. They should pay half of the cost of the new ballroom.
You could build a LOT of government run grocery stores with that kind of money!
Police security for major events is a legitimate area for discussion.
Don’t misunderstand me. The Taylor Swift-Travis Kelce wedding shouldn’t be a major event. They should stand up in church somewhere, tie the knot, and fly off to somebody’s private island.
But still ... there are plenty of precedents regarding police presence at events that draw large crowds. If the people running NYC have any sense — that’s a rhetorical question — they would have the police run off the list of the last 200 crowd events they’ve handled.
Just follow the precedents.
Never forget who you are, peasant!
