Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are planning their wedding for July 3, 2026, with a reported venue of Madison Square Garden in New York City, according to multiple sources. The engagement announcement followed two years of dating, with save-the-dates reportedly sent out in April 2026.
The choice of July 3 is significant as the Fourth of July is a holiday Swift has celebrated with large parties attended by celebrity friends.
Madison Square Garden, a venue that hosts the New York Knicks and Rangers and has been the site of many of Swift's concerts, has no scheduled events between June 29 and July 6, 2026, suggesting it is being reserved for the nuptials. Los Angeles-based celebrity wedding planner Mark Seed has reportedly been working on the wedding details for months. Additionally, Kansas City Chiefs players have made reservations at a Midtown Marriott Marquis, further indicating a New York City wedding.
The guest list is expected to include many of Swift's A-list friends and Kelce's teammates. Selena Gomez and Gigi Hadid are reportedly set to be bridesmaids. Other reported attendees include Zoë Kravitz, Ed Sheeran and his wife Cherry Seaborn, and singer Sombr. Suki Waterhouse, who opened for Swift's Eras Tour, has also confirmed her attendance, expressing hope for wedding inspiration for her own upcoming nuptials to Robert Pattinson. Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid and Tight End University co-founder George Kittle are also expected to attend. Kelce's bachelor party weekend reportedly included close friends such as Patrick Mahomes, Ross Travis, and Druski.
Preparations are underway in New York City, with a permit application filed with the city's Street Activity Permit Office for street closures around Madison Square Garden from July 2 to July 4, 2026. The permit also requested a public tent outside the venue for an estimated 500 to 999 attendees. The event is described as a multi-day affair, with an intimate celebration for approximately 100 loved ones planned for July 2.
Musical performances are anticipated to include Stevie Nicks and Tim McGraw. Swift has also joked about Ed Sheeran potentially performing, noting their shared love for performing and writing.
Regarding Swift's wedding attire, experts predict a classic yet fashionable gown. Stylists have pointed to a Nicole + Felicia wedding dress Swift wore in her 2021 music video "I Bet You Think About Me" as a potential influence, suggesting a design that is soft, whimsical, feminine, and classic.
