Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s Madison Square Garden wedding is fast approaching, and guests in formalwear are arriving in high heat and humming buzz in Midtown Manhattan.
The long-anticipated union of sports and song has brought hype to new heights at a venue usually reserved for big games and bucket-list concerts. The Friday night event is expected to be attended by the close friends and family of the Kansas City Chiefs tight end and the pop superstar, along with several hundred others.
A line of black SUVs dropped off wedding-goers in tuxedos and evening gowns, surrounded by New Yorkers in shorts and Swifties amassing for the occasion.
Actor Hugh Grant with his wife Anna Eberstein, Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt, Seattle Seahawks receiver Cooper Kupp and Jenny Han, author of The Summer I Turned Pretty series, were among those entering the arena.
The New York Times reported that Swift’s childhood friend and sometime song subject Abigail Anderson Berard also appeared to be headed there.
Celebrities, athletes and friends were posting on social media about getting ready or about to leave for a black-tie event, including Brandon Borders, producer of the New Heights podcast starring Kelce and his brother Jason Kelce; Beau Allen, retired defensive lineman for the Philadelphia Eagles; and Jessica Chastain.
