Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are set to marry at Madison Square Garden on Friday. The event will host close friends and family, as well as a few hundred additional guests. The Associated Press obtained a city permit showing that the wedding will start at 5 p.m. and could continue until 4 a.m. the following morning.
A law enforcement official, who remained anonymous due to lack of authorization to speak publicly, stated a rehearsal dinner took place on Thursday night. A tent sheltered guests on their arrival.
The couple’s relationship has captivated fans, especially Swift’s loyal supporters, the Swifties. They have been together for three years.
Questions linger about how MSG is being transformed into a wedding venue for the pop star and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end. Large trucks and crews have been working days in advance, sparking curiosity about the venue’s makeover.
Fans are eager to see Swift’s wedding dress, having seen her in bridal attire in music videos before.
The choice of MSG as a venue has been a topic of debate among fans and commentators. Its lack of windows and high security offer privacy for one of the world’s most public couples.
New York City Police Department Commissioner Jessica Tisch has not confirmed the wedding location but stated her department will allocate resources for major events throughout the weekend.
This wedding coincides with a busy weekend in New York, as the city will host celebrations for the nation’s 250th birthday, a tall ships parade on the Hudson River, a World Cup game in New Jersey, and a heat wave.
Earlier this week, Swift and Kelce donated $26 million to 20 charities across the U.S., focusing on areas with personal connections such as Nashville, Los Angeles, Kansas City, and New York.
