The (rumored) Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce wedding at Madison Square Garden in New York City is set to begin around 4pm ET today with a cocktail hour, before 1,000 guests watch the closest thing this country has to a royal couple exchange vows on the main arena floor.

Is this all a ruse? There’s a small possibility that all the semitrucks full of boxes marked “branches” are a red herring. Still, tabloids and traditional media sites have all been tripping over themselves to reveal crumbs about the nuptials:

  • An internal NYPD memo titled “Taylor Swift wedding at Madison Square Garden” detailed the security plan for today’s ceremony, along with last night’s even more exclusive rehearsal dinner at MSG, the New York Times reported.
  • Variety suspects that fellow musicians Jack Antonoff, the Haim sisters, Beyoncé and Jay-Z, as well as some Disney and AMC Theatres execs, scored an invite to the wedding…but no one appears to have any info about the dress code.
  • There are reports that Stevie Nicks and Tim McGraw will perform.

It will be expensive. With the $66,000 per-day permit to close surrounding streets, extra security, bathrooms (you think Ed Sheeran is using a public toilet?), and decor, luxury wedding planners are estimating the party could cost as much as $20 million.—MM
