Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce celebrated their pre-wedding festivities with a star-studded event at Madison Square Garden.
Swift was seen arriving at her Manhattan home well after midnight on Friday, concluding an extensive celebration with Kelce that reportedly began just before 4 p.m. Thursday. The event, which they referred to as a "rehearsal dinner," was attended by approximately 100 close friends and family.
The couple has transformed the iconic venue for their wedding celebrations. Photos from inside the event revealed decorations including pink, orange, and yellow roses woven into foliage and dusty pink curtains adorning the space. Unconfirmed reports suggest Swift has constructed a custom "castle" within Madison Square Garden and acquired all available calla lilies in the city for the decorations.
Among the notable attendees at the Thursday night celebration were Gigi Hadid, Bradley Cooper, Selena Gomez, and Jack Antonoff. The evening's dress code was reportedly "cocktail attire," according to a source. Famous faces from the sports and entertainment world, including sports commentator Erin Andrews and NFL personalities Claire Kittle and Ross Travis, were also present.
Details surrounding the event have been kept under strict security measures. Guests reportedly had their phones confiscated to prevent leaks, and NYPD officers were present inside the venue throughout the weekend. An arrivals tent was erected to obscure the view of guests entering the venue, and a sign at a security checkpoint instructed attendees to have identification and devices ready, implying a phone surrender policy.
Selena Gomez shared a video en route to the event, which drew some attention as she used the moment to promote a lipstick from her beauty brand, Rare Beauty. The clip showed her applying a new lipstick shade while dressed in a black gown.
Workers were seen escorting large black equipment cases bearing the Bon Jovi logo into the venue, suggesting the band may be providing musical entertainment. The celebration is planned to accommodate 1,000 guests for a larger party on Friday night. Reports have circulated about the couple potentially being legally married, though no official comment has been made, and wedding festivities are expected to continue into Saturday.
