Fourth of July weekend usually signals a mass exodus of celebs to less steamy environs, like the Hamptons, but this year was a little different.
Dozens of A-listers and athletes descended on the Big Apple to celebrate the nuptials of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce at a little venue called Madison Square Garden on July 3.
Some of the stars who came into town for the nuptials also managed to take in a Broadway show, like Fergie, who saw Maya Rudolphâs final performance as Mary Todd Lincoln in âOh, Mary!â on July 5.
Earlier in the week, Ayo Edebiri, Kristen Wiig and the cast of âRocky Horror Showâ were in attendance, as both shows are directed by Sam Pinkleton.
Other celebs spotted at Broadway shows included Julia Roberts, who caught Nathan Lane and Laurie Metcalf in âDeath of a Salesman,â while a slew of notables have been rushing to see Jon Bernthal and Ebon Moss-Bachrach in âDog Day Afternoonâ before it closes on July 12.
Leonardo DiCaprio, Bradley Cooper, Noah Wyle, Tom Holland, Ben Affleck and Ben Stiller have all been spotted in the audience.
Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, Jessica Chastain and F. Murray Abraham have all trekked downtown to cheer on Jennifer Nettles in âGiulia: The Poison Queen of Palermo,â which she wrote and stars in, and will have its world premiere at PAC NYC.
Besides the city buzzing with wedding news, it was also brimming with devoted soccer fans from all over the world cheering on their teams.
âPower Legacyâ stars Joseph Sikora and Tariq St. Patrick met up at New York New Jersey Stadium to celebrate the FIFA World Cup on July 5.
The on-screen enemies reunited to embrace soccerâs most iconic tradition with a jersey swap during Sunday nightâs Brazil vs. Norway match with tequila brand Casamigos. The meet-up was dubbed âRivals at the Game, Casamigos at the Bar.â
Travis Scott, Jay-Z, Michael Rubin, Jalen Brunson, Terry Crews, and DJ Khaled also attended the game, which saw Norway unexpectedly best Brazil.
Last Monday, GQ and Carbone Fine Food hosted an exclusive one-night-only celebration at the iconic ZZâs Club in Hudson Yards. Among those in attendance were âSummer Houseâ star Lindsay Hubbard and âQueer Eyeâ alum Tan France.
Legendary pasticceria Venieroâs welcomed Ed Norton, âSopranosâ alum Dominic Chianese, and BJ Novak, who noshed on Italian pastries.
Finally, there was that wedding.
On Thursday night, 100 of the coupleâs closest friends and family gathered at the Infosys Theater inside MSG for a rehearsal dinner. In addition to immediate family members, Swiftâs close pals Jack Antonoff and his sister Rachel, Little Big Town singer Kimberly Schlapman, Erin Andrews and Ashley Avignone also joined the happy duo.
The big day saw a gaggle of stars making their way to the famed sports arena, including Gigi Hadid, Bradley Cooper, Dakota Johnson, Benson Boone, Hugh Grant, Steven Spielberg, Mariska Hargitay, Swiftâs longtime publicist, Tree Paine, and her childhood best friend, Abigail Anderson.
While the guests were inside, New Yorkers were alerted that the pop star and athlete had officially tied the knot when âJUST&T MARRIEDâ was illuminated outside Madison Square Garden.
