Swift, 36, and the City Chiefs tight end, 36, tied the knot at the iconic venue on July 3. The high-profile event required a heavy NYPD presence, strict security, and prompted street closures in the surrounding area.
At a press conference on Friday, Mamdani was asked if he could 'confirm that Taylor Swift will be paying the city back any and all money for police overtime, and if so, how much and to whom?'
In response, Mamdani stated, 'Taylor Swift has paid already the cost of the permit that was lodged, which was over $160,000 for that event and for the response to that event', in a clip shared via C-SPAN.
'And that was a permit that was finalized, I think, just [in] the days before the event itself,' he added.
The Daily Mail has reached out to Swift's representative for comment.
