Apparently a gathering for 100 is expected at Madison Square Garden tonight, and another for 1,000 people tomorrow afternoon Taylor Swift and fiance Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs are keeping us all guessing regarding their wedding plans.

The canines in the New York streets will tell you that this is to facilitate the wedding between the world’s most famous pop star, billionaireOr is it? Is the booking of the landmark space, usually reserved for concerts or sporting events, an expensive canard designed to distract, or the real venue for their wedding?
Roads are being blocked off, security and police are on standby, and trucks have been delivering unseen items to the garden. At this stage of proceedings, it seems true that Swift and Kelce will host some kind of shindig here. At this late date at least, no rumours have emerged about any other venue. And boy have people been trying hard to find out where the celebrations are to take place.
The New York Times reported on Thursday morning that it has allocated a staggering two dozen reporters and editors to cover the purported wedding, “with many more around the newsroom contributing tips”. Although a windowless, covered space may seem a weird choice for most people’s wedding, Swift is not Most People. Privacy, security and safety will be the couple’s priority beyond pretty much anything else.
Those accessing the area can do so privately, through a range of entrances that facilitate vehicles allowing no drone, helicopter, or randomer to sneak illicit overhead pictures of the gathering.

It’s entirely possible they have already got formally hitched somewhere else in the world prior to showing up at Madison Square Garden.
It may be none of our business, but a lot of people have made it their business to be deeply engaged with the upcoming nuptials. So Madison Square Garden is booked, and apparently a gathering for 100 is expected there tonight, and then another for 1,000 people tomorrow, Friday, July 3rd.
We can assume the July 4th booking till noon is to dismantle whatever has been constructed at the venue – a ‘castle’ has been among the rumours – but the truth is there are almost zero hard facts. It’s all speculation so far.
The fact we know so little is either a genuine tribute to the discretion of all invited and involved, or a deep fear of the consequences of the NDA everyone will certainly have had to sign in advance. Any pictures likely toemerge from the gatherings will only come with the couple’s sign-off. So who’s going? It’s safe to say the Swift and Kelce families will both be there in force.
And whichever pals are in favour at present. Definitely Abigail Anderson, Swift’s longtime friend from school. Probably all of Kelce’s NFL teammates from the Kansas City Chiefs. Maybe?
He has joked on air about asking for an invitation, but doubled down when publicly asked to confirm if he had actually received a golden ticket. What will she wear? Who knows? Every buzzy name in high fashion has been bandied about, especially those designers whose clothes she has recently worn.
Northern IrishWe do know from one indiscreet guest, NFL player George Kittle, that the couple have stressed a “No Gifts” policy. Kittle is probably off the list now, and so won’t get to give Kelce the “old coin” he was planning on getting him, because Kelce apparently likes old coins. As a multimillionaire about to wed a billionaire, actual coin is one thing Kelce doesn’t lack. A hurley and sliotar for sportsman Kelce.
There’s probably no sport he couldn’t play well, given some quick training by a GAA specialist. Matt Damon to tote his wet togs around Dalkey, it’s good enough for Taylor to use when popping out to the store. A subscription to The Irish Times. Just the one.
