Reports say Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce kicked off their wedding weekend with an intimate rehearsal dinner at Madison Square Garden, where a star-studded guest list gathered ahead of the main celebration in New York.
The couple’s long-rumored wedding festivities are being described as a multi-day event centered on MSG, with security, street closures and large-scale production all reportedly in place around the arena.
While Swift and Kelce have not publicly confirmed any of the details, multiple outlets reported that around 100 family members and close friends attended a rehearsal dinner on Thursday night at the Infosys Theater inside Madison Square Garden.
Guests said to have been spotted at or around the event included Gigi Hadid, Bradley Cooper, Jack Antonoff and his sister Rachel Antonoff, Ashley Avignone, Tree Paine and Abigail Anderson.
Sports figures linked to the dinner included Erin Andrews and her husband, former NHL player Jarret Stoll, as well as former NFL player Ross Travis, Kansas City Chiefs star George Kittle, Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford and his wife Kelly, and Minnesota Vikings linebacker Micah Parsons, according to reports and photos from the scene.
Other names mentioned in connection with the broader wedding weekend include Andrew Whitworth, Charissa Thompson, and Kelce’s longtime friends and inner-circle guests, though it was not clear which of them attended the rehearsal dinner itself and which were expected for the larger ceremony.
Reports have also said the main wedding celebration could draw roughly 1,000 guests, with the arena transformed for the occasion and a late-night reception planned after the ceremony.
According to earlier reporting, the rehearsal dinner was scheduled to run from about 6 p.m. to 10:30 p.m., with the larger wedding event expected to follow on Friday. Security preparations reportedly included street activity permits, a VIP entrance and extensive staffing around the venue.
In the days leading up to the celebration, trucks and equipment were seen outside Madison Square Garden, adding to speculation that the couple was staging an elaborate production inside the arena.
The reported guest list and venue details have made the Swift-Kelce wedding one of the most talked-about celebrity events of the year, even as the couple has kept the plans largely private.
