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.
Gov. Kathy Hochul and the legislature are more than six weeks late in approving a new state budget, which was due April 1.
A rep for Hochul insisted there will be no money specifically earmarked in the record $268 billion Empire State budget for the Swift-Kelce nuptials.
The state budget will include $20 million to cover programming and security for events tied to the FIFA World Cup and America’s 250th Anniversary, a Hochul spokesperson said.
