Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are preparing to marry this week in New York, with Madison Square Garden (MSG) rumored to host the celebration. The couple, both 36, announced their engagement last summer after two years of dating. While they have not confirmed details, reports indicate a multi-day event at MSG, with street closures and permits filed.
Venue and Permits
Madison Square Garden, home of the New York Knicks, is believed to be the venue. The New York Times reported that the arena was rented for July 2-4 by Winick Productions, and the public calendar shows no events during that period, with the next scheduled being a Bon Jovi concert on July 7. Permits for street closures around the venue were filed, allowing for a canopy and truck unloading. New York City Hall spokesperson Dora Pekec confirmed the permits with Us Weekly, stating capacity for 500 to 999 people. She noted this is standard for large events, ensuring safety and accessibility.
Guest List and Secrecy
Approximately 100 guests are expected for a smaller gathering on July 2, followed by a larger event on July 3. Invited guests were only told the wedding is this week in New York, without specific location details. An insider told Us Weekly that guests are being kept on hold for days, with costs in the millions. Travis's NFL colleague George Kittle confessed to Entertainment Tonight that he has no idea of the plans, saying, 'I asked Travis last night and he laughed at me.' Expected attendees include Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid, Graham Norton, Suki Waterhouse, Ed Sheeran, Gigi Hadid, Cara Delevingne, Selena Gomez, and Benny Blanco. Performers may include Tim McGraw and Stevie Nicks, according to Page Six. An insider described the event as potentially bigger than the Met Gala.
Bridal Party and Dress
Taylor Swift's bridesmaids reportedly include Gigi Hadid, who was asked over dinner last November, and Selena Gomez. An insider told The Sun that Swift wants the process to be fun and memorable, with parties and planning leading up to the big day. For her wedding dress, Swift has chosen a custom design by Dior creative director Jonathan Anderson, who has dressed Rihanna and Jennifer Lawrence. She reportedly had several options but selected Anderson's design.
