Madison Square Garden appears to be hosting the Met Gala, as stars flocked to this famous New York City venue in droves for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding, which has already been described as the wedding of the century.
Although the couple has not officially confirmed that they will tie the knot on Friday night, all signs point to yes. The scene is tightly secured by officers from the New York Police Department, and barriers and curtains have been erected for guests to maintain privacy when entering the park. But star-studded views of attendees appeared all over the city. According to reports, paparazzi photos and live streams outside the venue, the star power is high with a number of boldfaced names spotted at the scene or on their way to MSG while wearing black-tie ensembles from the worlds of sports, music, Hollywood and more.

Friday night’s main event comes after a rehearsal dinner held on Thursday evening that reportedly hosted over 100 people inside MSG’s Infosys Theater. Among those spotted on their way to dinner were Selena Gomez, Jack Antonoff, Bradley Cooper and Lena Dunham. According to photographers’ photos, guests left the dinner with monogrammed black velvet boxes containing a parting gift: diamond-embellished champagne flutes.
The entire affair is also said to be being planned by a low-profile creative event planner, Mark Seed, who has extensive experience in high-profile weddings. According to reports, Sid and his team have spearheaded plans for stars like Jennifer Lawrence (who married Cook Maroney at the Belcourt Mansion of Newport, Rhode Island in 2019) and Billie Lourd (who married Austin Riddle on the beach in Cabo San Lucas in 2022). But the main connection for Swift is the fact that Seed planned the wedding of his close friend Antonoff, who married actress Margaret Qualley in New Jersey in 2023. Swift gave us a preview of what Seed was able to produce as she reportedly attended the wedding, as did her co-stars like Channing Tatum, Kravitz, Cara Delevingne and Lana Del Rey.
In other Swift-Kelce wedding news, ahead of the wedding weekend, the couple confirmed that they have donated a whopping $26 million to various charities, many of which are based in New York City and said to have been chosen by them to generate the most amount of good for the causes they care about.
