P6: Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce to have an ‘intimate’ first wedding on July 2nd at MSG

This week, the New York Times basically confirmed that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding will indeed go down at Madison Square Garden on July 3rd (one week from today). Taylor apparently hired Winick Productions to plan/organize the event and they applied for permits around MSG. NYT left it open as if it could all still be a ruse. At this point I think Taylor was hiding in plain sight. She probably figured her snake army would just assume the MSG rumor was a cover story, regardless of what the real venue was. It’s not a double cross, it’s a triple cross! So now I keep seeing posts where Swifties bemoan all of Taylor’s elegant music video aesthetic because now she’s going to have to throw flower garlands over the Jumbotron. Well, now Page Six is ​​claiming that while the MSG wedding is real, Taylor and Travis will have another wedding ceremony the day before… which will also be held at MSG??

Two are better than one. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s upcoming wedding at Madison Square Garden will be a multi-day event with two gatherings, The Post confirms. A source revealed that the couple will hold an intimate celebration at the arena on July 2 with an estimated 100 loved ones in attendance.

The following day, the pop star and Kansas City Chiefs player will reportedly host between 1,000 and 2,000 people for a much larger party. The New York Times was the first to report the news. Reps for Kelce and Swift have not yet responded to Page Six’s requests for comment.

Page Six exclusively revealed in April that the couple will walk down the aisle this July 3rd weekend. Earlier this month, we confirmed that the nuptials will take place at the iconic Big Apple venue, where Swift has performed several sold-out shows over the years.

“Privacy was of utmost importance to both of them,” a source told us at the time of the unconventional choice. Another insider noted that “everyone has taken a non-disclosure agreement.”

Page Six reported Wednesday that some of Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs teammates have reservations at the Marriott Marquis in Midtown around the wedding date. The groom’s fellow NFL tight end — and Tight End University co-founder — George Kittle told “Entertainment Tonight” Wednesday that he has “no expectations” for the wedding venue.

Kittle, 32, divulged, “I actually asked Travis last night (if it was at MSG) and he laughed at me, so. I’m half expecting there’s just a jumbo jet on a runway and they put us on a plane somewhere.”

I understand having a more private, intimate wedding – or even a classic civil wedding – the day before. What I don’t get is hosting an intimate “first wedding” event… in the garden. Taylor has like all kinds of access, she even belongs to lots of private clubs in New York. Surely there’s a cute, attractive space she can rent out mid-week for the intimate wedding? Something else I’ve been thinking about is how Taylor’s fans are kind of blaming Travis for “a garden wedding.” I’ll buy that Travis probably doesn’t want to have a destination wedding in some European castle, but I also don’t believe Travis wants his wedding in Madison Square Garden. I feel strongly that this is ALL Taylor.

What else? Variety spoke with some NYPD sources and the police absolutely believe that they are going to work with crowd-control around MSG for the wedding.
