America250 celebrations, World Cup matches (including the final), a Knicks championship and parade — it’s been a busy summer for New York City. And it’s about to get a little busier. NBC News has confirmed that the wedding festivities for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce will take place at Madison Square Garden going into the Fourth of July weekend.

What new clues reveal Taylor Swift Jun 21 In Taylor Swift's beach town, every clue becomes a wedding rumor Speculation about the superstar singer and football player’s nuptials has built to a frenzy in recent days, following weeks of unconfirmed reports that it would take place over July Fourth weekend at one of New York’s iconic landmarks. Now it’s been confirmed to be the case. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani said on Wednesday that a permit had been filed for a “large event” at Madison Square Garden. The permit also requests a tent and street closures around the Garden. The Mamdani administration declined to say who filed the permit. “We are fully prepared,” he added. “There isn’t anything to share beyond that.” New York Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said police “will of course have a detail in place,” but also declined to go into further detail. Here’s everything we know about the upcoming nuptials: The celebrations are set to happen over a two-day span beginning Thursday night, for a smaller group of 100 people. A law enforcement official briefed on the security plans told the Associated Press that event be the rehearsal dinner. The official spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss the events. Then there will be a larger celebration for 1,100 attendees Friday night, according to a source at Madison Square Garden.

The guest list is still something of a mystery, though there have been a few big celebrity names mentioned as possible or likely attendees. Same goes for possible performances, where names like Stevie Nicks and Tim McGraw are rumored to be taking the stage. It is also not known if the wedding ceremony itself will take place at MSG, or if the vows will be exchanged elsewhere and the arena is where the reception will be held. When asked over the weekend, some workers at MSG said they were working “the event” while not sharing more information, while others said they would not be working. ...read more read less
