A spokesperson for the mayor of New York tells the BBC that an application was submitted in early June to close the streets for a major event between July 2 and 4.
The New York Times previously reported the same, citing anonymous sources. The newspaper also noted that several teammates of Travis Kelce's Kansas City Chiefs have booked into the nearby Marriott Marquis hotel, according to a source.
Swift's employees have been spotted at a facility in Pennsylvania that is usually used for rehearsals and stage construction for major concerts, according to several media outlets.
More and more evidence
The New York Times also believes it knows that the engaged couple have planned a smaller gathering for about 100 people on July 2, followed by something grander the following evening.
At the same time, police officers patrolling the train station under the stadium have reportedly been told that they can expect a Swift wedding during the weekend in question.
No public events should be scheduled at the arena between June 29 and July 6.
Since Swift and Kelce got engaged last August, fans and the media have been speculating about where and when the star couple will finally tie the knot. They have not said a word, but lately, more and more evidence has started to point to "the Garden."
May have given up
A couple of weeks ago, entertainment website TMZ claimed that over 1,000 guests were invited to the wedding, and that everyone was forced to sign confidentiality agreements to remain silent.
When New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani spoke earlier this month about how well-prepared the city is for the summer's big events, he happened to mention "Taylor Swift's wedding" in the same sentence as the World Cup and the United States' 250th anniversary celebrations.
The legendary arena seats around 20,000 spectators and is home to the NBA champions New York Knicks and the NHL's New York Rangers. It has previously hosted concerts by Bruce Springsteen and Elton John. Taylor Swift has performed there several times.
The star couple will not be the first to hold a wedding at the venue. Sly Stone was married there in 1974, and in 1982, 2,075 couples were married simultaneously during a mass wedding arranged by the Moon sect.
