New York is bracing itself for the superstar singer and football player’s nuptials, with Mayor Zohran Mamdani adding to the hype
3-MIN READ3-MIN ListenAgenciesPublished: 4:27am, 2 Jul 2026Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce will celebrate their wedding at Madison Square Garden on Friday night, according to a law enforcement official briefed on the security plans.
The festivities will kick off with a smaller rehearsal dinner planned for Thursday night, the official said. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to publicly discuss the events.
Speculation about the superstar singer and American football player’s nuptials has built to a frenzy in recent days, following weeks of unconfirmed reports that it would take place over July 4 weekend at one of New York’s iconic landmarks.
This week, crews have been unloading equipment from trucks outside Madison Square Garden. A large carpet was briefly unveiled outside one entrance and then promptly removed.
Nothing has been publicly confirmed by the couple, despite multiple requests to Swift’s representative for comment.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani added to the speculation with a video on social media warning New Yorkers – and celebrity couples – of a heatwave hitting the eastern United States this week.
