A guest has arrived!
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s star-studded wedding took place at New York City’s Madison Square Garden, with Page Six revealing exclusive details about the event. Around 2:30 PM on Friday, we noticed Swift’s close friends, Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper, arriving for the celebration.
Swift’s longtime publicist, Tree Payne, and former Kansas City Chiefs player, Mitch Schwartz, were also observed departing from a posh Manhattan hotel in a black Sprinter van toward the iconic venue.
As noted earlier, the festivities kicked off with a cocktail hour at 4 PM on the arena’s 6th floor concourse, doors opening at 3:30. The wedding ceremony itself was scheduled for 5:30 PM on the arena floor, followed by a reception stretching from 6:30 until 2 AM.
New details emerged about a section of the arena designed to resemble a forest, complete with carpeting to mimic trees and grass. This unique area included spaces for games and other activities concealed behind flowing curtains.
Interestingly, Kelce proposed to Swift in August 2025 in their garden-like backyard in Kansas.
Approximately 1,000 wedding guests who received invitations were in for a treat, with performances from Stevie Nicks and Tim McGraw, along with a chance to enjoy exquisite cuisine.
The night before the wedding, the couple hosted an intimate rehearsal dinner featuring guests like Selena Gomez (who reportedly is a bridesmaid), Gigi Hadid, Bradley Cooper, and others, including Swift’s close friends, Abigail Anderson Berard and Ashley Avignone. The dinner took place during a cozy gathering with about 100 of Swift’s family and friends.
“Guests enjoyed dinner on a pink carpet,” a source shared with Page Six about the rehearsal. The event ran from 6 PM to 10:30 PM at the Infosys Theater in MSG, with meals catered from Sartiano’s, one of the bride’s favorite restaurants.
Decor included chandeliers and arrangements of peach and pink flowers, with guests reportedly receiving jeweled favors. Many attendees were seen leaving with black velvet boxes inscribed with the couple’s initials.
Sources indicated that each box contained a diamond-encrusted champagne flute and featured a photo printed on the fabric, which looked to be of Swift and Kelce’s garden at the time of their engagement.
Earlier in the week, Page Six learned that the couple might already be legally married.
