Joey Chestnut is the big dog in the hot dog eating world ... retaining his annual Nathan's Hog Dog Eating Contest Title -- which marks the 18th time he's choked down more dogs than anyone else.

The competitive eating legend swallowed 66 dogs in just 10 minutes on Saturday to win the title at Coney Island in front of a crowd estimated at roughly 25K and many more viewers watching on ESPN 2.

Check out the clip ... Chestnut raised his arms above his head afterward looking thoroughly exhausted -- with an American flag draped over his right shoulder.

Taylor Swift fans got a taste of her wedding to Travis Kelce last night ... and we mean literally -- because they ended up with a box of uneaten pastries seemingly from the big event.

Swifites were still in the street outside Madison Square Garden in the early morning hours Saturday ... when a van with the name of a New Jersey bakery, Délices & Co., scrawled along the side came to a stop in front of the crowd.

While assembled fans jokingly asked what flavor the cake was, the person in the passenger seat raised a cardboard box which drove the crowd into a frenzy.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding was like a movie ... and it seems the head of AMC Theatres spoiled the plot -- though he quickly tried to rectify the mistake.

Here's the deal ... Adam Aron -- the CEO of AMC Theatres -- posted to social media on Saturday laying out a detailed timeline of the wedding of the century.

Adam wrote the inside of the venue looked nothing like Madison Square Garden -- unsurprising, given we knew a castle was built inside along with a stunning garden to welcome guests.

Taylor Swift’s wedding guest has revealed some intimate details about the pop superstar's emotional wedding to Travis Kelce.

Check it out -- LBC News caught Aunt Robin heading out of Madison Square Garden Friday night ... and she was all smiles as she told the outlet, "They cried, and they laughed, and they danced, and they hugged, and they kissed."

She shared less detail when asked to describe the food served, simply stating there were "lots" ... but have no fear -- TMZ has you covered there. Our sources told us Taylor and Travis hired the exclusive club, Zero Bond, to cater their wedding ... and we know the high-end spot is one of Taylor's favorites.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding NDAs were serious business, and Madison Square Garden has reportedly fired any employees who violated the agreements.

This report comes from Bloomberg News reporter Myles Miller, who also confirmed TMZ's reporting that law enforcement had their phones confiscated upon entering the iconic venue. He said every person walking in had their phones taken and "no one" was allowed to enter the building ahead of the wedding.

TMZ has reached out to MSG for comment ... so far, no word back.

But, even with iron-clad NDAs and cell phones banned, TMZ was able to unlock some exciting details about the pop superstar and NFLer's ceremony and reception. We told you all about it -- Adam Sandler sang the pair an original song about their love while officiating their ceremony, where Jason and Kylie Kelce's kids acted as the flower girls.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's Madison Square Garden wedding seemingly went off without a hitch last night ... although the superstar's bestie Lena Dunham reportedly made a joke that left jaws on the floor.

The "Girls" creator hopped on the mic to honor Mrs. and Mr. Swift at one point Friday night, and according to Daily Mail, she joked during her speech that "American football is just straight guys reenacting gay porn."

According to the outlet's insider, the NSFW quip "divided" guests as "gasps and laughs" were heard directly after. But, the source says Taylor took no offense to the joke, and even called Lena a "genius" afterward.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's epic wedding at Madison Square Garden is now in the history books — and it was a fun-filled extravaganza with many of their A-list guests partying into the early morning hours.

Tom Brady, Chris Rock, Michael Strahan, Stephen A. Smith, Steven Spielberg, Hugh Grant, Jessica Alba and her boyfriend, Danny Ramirez, were among those who made early exits, starting around 10 PM Friday.

George Kittle, Robert Tonyan, and Zach Ertz were spotted on their way to a gym on Friday in New York City ... squeezing in one last pump before their fellow NFL tight end ties the knot.

Hopefully George didn't get too swole here ... he's got a blue suit he needs to wear in a few hours ... and if he bulked up too much, he might not fit!!!

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are getting iced out for their wedding party ... it looks like an ice sculpture was just delivered to Madison Square Garden ... a sure sign this thing's about to begin.

The icy delivery just went down ... the frozen art was brought in on a van from Okamoto Studio Custom Ice ... an award-winning ice sculpture studio out of Queens.

It's sweltering hot outside, and while MSG has air conditioning, Taylor and Travis aren't going to want this sculpture just sitting out and slowly melting for no reason ... guests are reportedly going to start arriving in a little over an hour.

Think of the ice sculpture as a countdown to the wedding ... almost like an hourglass, if you will.
