New York City is abuzz as numerous celebrities and prominent figures have been seen arriving for the wedding of pop singer Taylor Swift and NFL player Travis Kelce. The highly anticipated nuptials are expected to draw a large crowd of notable guests.
Singer Dua Lipa was recently spotted leaving a recording studio in New York City, appearing in high spirits. Lipa, who recently married Callum Turner, was seen wearing a camisole and jeans and signed autographs for fans. Other British celebrities, including Graham Norton, have also been reported to be in the city for the event.
The couple hosted an intimate rehearsal dinner on Thursday at the Infosys Theater within Madison Square Garden. The venue was decorated with pink lighting, dusty pink curtains, and peach-colored flowers. Reports suggest a custom-themed setup, with significant quantities of calla lilies reportedly acquired for the occasion.
Notable guests seen arriving for the dinner included Selena Gomez, Jack Antonoff, Gigi Hadid, and Bradley Cooper, along with Swift's childhood friend Abigail Anderson. Swift herself was seen arriving at the venue in a heavily equipped, blacked-out silver Suburban vehicle and was later seen departing well after midnight, having spent over eight hours at the event, described as a potential first-night celebration.
There are unconfirmed reports that Swift and Kelce may have already legally married, with a larger celebration planned for the wedding day. The rehearsal dinner reportedly had a 'cocktail attire' dress code, with invitations extended to close family and friends.
Attendees at the rehearsal dinner included sports commentator Erin Andrews, former football player Ross Travis, and NFL WAG Claire Kittle. Security measures were in place, with police restricting press access and guests being instructed to have identification ready, suggesting phones may have been surrendered upon entry. Security tents were erected to obscure the view of arrivals.
Selena Gomez drew some attention for sharing a video of herself applying lipstick from her Rare Beauty brand while en route to the rehearsal dinner. This has been noted by some observers as potentially incongruous with the highly private nature of the event.
Notable absentees from the guest list reportedly include Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, with speculation suggesting a falling out related to Lively's legal dispute with Justin Baldoni. Guests confirmed or rumored to be attending the wedding festivities include Ed Sheeran, Zoë Kravitz, Suki Waterhouse, Gigi Hadid, Ellie Goulding, Cara Delevingne, the Haim sisters, Jason and Kylie Kelce, George and Claire Kittle, and Kyle and Kristin Juszczyk.
