Here comes the bride…in Midtown!
Multiple sources tell Page Six that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding will take place at Madison Square Garden, home of the Knicks, Rangers and numerous concerts, including Swift’s.
“Everyone’s been sworn to secrecy,” said one source.
A rep for MSG did not respond to request for comment.
Page Six previously exclusively reported that the pop superstar and Kansas City Chiefs tight end, both 36, are planning to tie the knot in New York over July 3rd weekend.
A source tells us that when it came to picking a place for the high-profile occasion “privacy was of number one importance to them both.”
The source added that the potential plan would involve guests being transported to the venue on blacked-out buses and take advantage of MSG’s multiple entrances and highly secure infrastructure.
While it seems an odd choice for a ceremony, a source tells us “If you have billions you can transform the space into a wedding venue.”
Perhaps tellingly, the venue also has no events from June 29 through July 6.
Maybe some of Swift’s famous pals — paging the Haim sisters — will sing during the ceremony?
Swift has performed at Madison Square Garden eight times, once for 2009’s “Fearless” tour, twice for “Speak Now,” and four times for the Z100 Jingle Ball.
But her decision to tie the knot at MSG might raise eyebrows with hardcore Knicks fans as she turned up with Kelce during Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals in Cleveland on May 23 — with the athlete wearing a Cavaliers cap.
The “Lover” singer and Kelce were spotted several times around the city last month, dining at spots like Or’esh and Via Carota. The speculation was that the megastars were in town to oversee preparations for the big day.
New York Police Department commissioner Jessica Tisch joked earlier this week about the security needed in NYC for the numerous events happening over the holiday weekend, including July 4 and America’s 250th celebrations, NBA Finals, FIFA World Cup, “all as potentially Taylor Swift’s wedding,” she said.
Tisch quickly added, “I’m kidding.”
