Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce to wed at Madison Square Garden in early July

Pop star Taylor Swift and NFL tight end Travis Kelce are expected to hold their wedding at New York’s Madison Square Garden over the Fourth of July weekend. Public‑records filings show a permit for loading and unloading theatrical equipment at the arena from June 29 to July 4, and a separate permit for a tent‑style structure to accommodate up to 999 guests. Sources say an intimate ceremony for about 100 guests is slated for Thursday, July 2, followed by a larger reception for 1,000–2,000 guests on Friday, July 3.

Stevie Nicks has been confirmed as a performer for the ceremony, and other legacy acts such as Tim McGraw have also been mentioned as possible entertainment. The guest list is expected to include a wide range of celebrities – from singers like Selena Gomez and Ed Sheeran to NFL teammates including Patrick Mahomes – with invitations sent by text or email and strict confidentiality agreements required.

Earlier reports of a Rhode Island beach venue were abandoned due to security concerns, prompting the couple to shift to the windowless, highly controllable MSG site. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has referenced the event in press briefings without confirming details. Security plans involve sealed parking garages, street closures, and limited public access to protect the privacy of the high‑profile couple.
