Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are expected to marry this weekend at Madison Square Garden, an official told the Associated Press, after the couple rented the arena and filed a city permit to close surrounding streets until Saturday afternoon. The New York Times reported the couple rented the basketball and hockey arena for a multiple-day celebration, including an "intimate gathering" of 100 people on Thursday and a larger event on Friday, and photos outside the venue show a giant white staircase being installed. Madison Square Garden’s roughly 22,000 capacity and windowless interior make it easier to shield the interior from photographers, and the venue has a history of providing security for high-profile guests. Page Six has named potential performers including Stevie Nicks and Tim McGraw, and media coverage and betting markets have circulated names such as Paul McCartney, Ed Sheeran, Gigi Hadid, Selena Gomez, and Emma Stone as likely attendees. A permit to close streets, the stadium rental, and visible set pieces around MSG mean guests and local traffic should expect tightened access and restricted streets in the immediate area in the days leading up to the July 3 weekend.
