Wedding guests invited to the highly anticipated nuptials of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have reportedly been kept in the dark about the precise ceremony location. Festivities are slated to begin shortly before the Fourth of July holiday in New York City, with invitations offering only the city as a destination.
An insider told Us Weekly that guests received instructions to be in New York on July 2 and July 3, with no further details provided. The couple is reportedly "putting their guests on hold for a couple days" while spending "millions" on the wedding. Sources also told the Daily Mail that guests who RSVP'd have been required to sign non-disclosure agreements before receiving any wedding information.
Swift and Kelce are expected to wed in New York, with speculation centering on Madison Square Garden. This past month, a local event planning company filed permit applications to close streets around the venue from July 2 to July 4, citing the need for space for trucks, canopies, and tents. A city official confirmed the permit application for an event at Madison Square Garden on July 3, with the number of attendees estimated to be between 500 and 999.
Reports suggest a smaller gathering of approximately 100 guests may take place on July 2, possibly serving as a rehearsal dinner, followed by a larger celebration on July 3. Swift and Kelce have allegedly enlisted musicians Stevie Nicks and Tim McGraw to perform at the events, which one source described as "bigger than the Met Gala."
Details regarding Swift's attire have also emerged, with reports indicating she may wear multiple custom dresses over the wedding weekend. Designers Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia of Monse, former co-creative directors of Oscar de la Renta, are among those rumored to be involved. Swift has previously worn Oscar de la Renta designs for significant events, including her friend Selena Gomez's wedding last year and during her Eras Tour.
Swift and NFL player Kelce announced their engagement in August of the previous year, with Swift sharing photos of the proposal on Instagram. Kelce proposed at his home in Kansas City, transforming his backyard into a "secret garden wonderland."
