Taylor Swift has arrived at Gigi Hadid's house ahead of her wedding

Taylor had been seen at Gigi's Manhattan apartment several times this week amid the wedding preparations, and the 31-year-old beauty and her partner Bradley Cooper were among the 100 guests at a rehearsal dinner at MSG on Thursday (02.07.26) night, joining the likes of Selena Gomez and Jack Antonoff in partying until late into the night.

What else we know:

The billionaire pop superstar and the three-time NFL Super Bowl champion, both 36, have kept fans guessing, but details are swirling as the clock allegedly counts down to their big day.

Huge trucks have been parked outside the central venue with crews seen hauling black equipment boxes inside.

Some boxes were labelled “Garden Party” and “Mirror Ball”.

The two-day event will see 100 people gather at the venue on July 2 for an intimate reception dinner at Infosys Theatre, the New York Times reported.

The following day, about 1000 guests are expected to flood the main arena for the big day.

Guests have been arriving at MSG for an alleged rehearsal dinner including Gigi Hadid & Bradley Cooper, Jack Antonoff, Taylor's childhood bff Abigal, and more...

The guest list is looking stacked:

It was recently reported that Madison Square Garden has been “transformed” for the wedding, with a source telling PEOPLE magazine: “I've never seen it look so different”.

The reports claim the couple have chosen Madison Square Garden as the venue for the celebrations, with an initial event attended by around 100 close family members and friends before a larger reception said to include between 1,000 - 2,000 guests.

Taylor fans will remember when she invited Graham Norton to her nuptials during an appearance on his TV show last October, when she said she was inviting “anyone I've ever talked to” - admitting cutting down the guest list was the most “stressful” part of the wedding planning process.

She also invited both Norton and fellow guest Domnhall Gleeson to be in her next music video, and was true to her word when the pair were seen in the video for Opalite.

Fleabag creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge was also seen arriving in New York on Wednesday (01Jul 26), as well as Travis’ longtime stylist Danielle Salzedo.

Rumours

None of this is confirmed, but here is what is swirling on the internet:

Page Six reported the ceremony will begin from 3.30pm with a cocktail reception at 4pm. The vows are expected to take place from 5.30pm to 6.30pm.

The wedding itself will reportedly take place on Friday with a star-studded guest list of around 1000, including models Gigi Hadid and Cara Delevingne, singer Selena Gomez, and actress Zoe Kravitz – all known to be close Swift pals – and Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs teammates.

Rumour has it that Stevie Nicks and Tim McGraw, both close to Swift, will perform. British artists Ed Sheeran – another Swift pal – and Paul McCartney may also go on stage. Reportedly, the starting line up of the Knicks are invited too.

Prenup:

This isn’t just a marriage merging two lives. It is also merging two enormous, lucrative brands.

Taylor is estimated to have a net worth of US$2 billion ($3.5b) by the way - the first female musician to have reached billionaire status primarily through her singing and songwriting.

Her real estate portfolio stretches across New York, Tennessee, Rhode Island and California. And her Eras Tour generated US$2b in ticket sales.

Travis Kelce has a net worth estimated between US$70 million and US$90m, amassed through his National Football League contract; his brand partnerships; his sports podcast, New Heights; and other investments.

They will likely have a prenup agreement on how to handle their assets in the event of a divorce or death.

Charity donation:

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have donated $26M to charities (named in comments) as part of their alleged wedding celebrations.

Travis' outfits:

Travis Kelce's former stylist thinks the NFL star will wear a "minimum of three outfits" during his wedding celebrations.

Tom Marchitelli - who worked with the sportsman for five years from 2016 - has predicted his old client will be keen to show his sartorial "edginess" with multiple looks.

Tom told People magazine: "I think we'll see his edginess come out with wardrobe changes. I expect him to be in a minimum of three outfits. I wouldn't be surprised if he changes every hour.

"A ceremony look, a reception change and then if there's a concert part or an afterparty, another outfit for sure."

Of Travis' outfit when he and Taylor exchange vows, Tom said: "That's the picture that's going to last forever. Whoever is lucky enough to photograph their wedding moment... it will be the most viral social media picture in history."

Tom made many of Travis' suits when they worked together and while he wishes he was doing so for the wedding, he predicted that honour will go to Louis Vuitton.

Guests are said to have signed confidentiality agreements and will be without their phones for the ceremony, expected to begin in the mid-afternoon with cocktails before a reception going into the night.

Celebrity outlet TMZ said that the lavish decor will include a replica castle built inside Madison Square Garden.
