Signs of a secret wedding between American pop star Taylor Swift (36) and NFL star Travis Kelce (36) at Madison Square Garden (MSG) in New York are emerging one after another.

Multiple U.S. media outlets, including The New York Times (NYT) and the Associated Press (AP), reported details on the wedding, which is expected to take place this weekend, citing various sources on Wednesday (July 1, local time).

According to an internal New York Police Department document titled "Taylor Swift Wedding at MSG" obtained by the NYT, the wedding-related events will be held entirely in private over the course of two days.

It is reported that Swift's side has also applied for permits to control roads near MSG.

As the wedding approaches, the scene is bustling with activity.

The AP reported that work crews were seen unloading equipment from trucks outside MSG this week, and a large carpet was briefly rolled out in front of one of the entrances before being quickly removed.

A former high-ranking New York police official told the NYT, comparing the influence of Swift's fandom to the peak eras of The Beatles or Michael Jackson, that hundreds of police officers would be needed to maintain crowd safety in addition to the private security hired by Swift.

New York City Mayor Jumaane Williams stated during a briefing on Wednesday that "a permit application has been received for a 'large-scale event' to be held at MSG."

"We are fully prepared," Mayor Williams added, "but there is nothing else to share."

Swift and Kelce made their relationship official in 2023, and news of their engagement was reported last year.

While English-language media outlets are scrambling to report on every move ahead of what is being called the "wedding of the century," the couple themselves have not officially confirmed whether the wedding will take place or its location.

Swift has consistently prioritized privacy and safety concerns.

MSG, which serves as both a concert hall and a sports arena, is a stage where Swift has performed eight times in the past.
