A spokesperson for the mayor of New York City told 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 that, citing anonymous sources. The newspaper also noted that several teammates of Travis Kelce's on the Kansas City Chiefs have booked rooms at the nearby Marriott Marquis hotel, according to a source.
Swift's staff have been spotted at a facility in Pennsylvania usually used for rehearsals and stage construction for major concerts, according to several media outlets.
More and more evidence
The New York Times also reports that the engaged couple have planned a smaller gathering for about 100 people on July 2, followed by a larger event 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 themselves haven't 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 the mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani, spoke earlier this month about how well-prepared the city is for the summer's big events, he mentioned "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 people and is home to the NBA champions the New York Knicks and the NHL's New York Rangers, and it also hosts concerts by Bruce Springsteen and Elton John. Taylor Swift has performed there several times.
The star couple won't be the first to hold a wedding at the arena. Sly Stone got married there in 1974, and in 1982, 2,075 couples were married at the same time during a mass wedding arranged by the Moonsect.
