An application has been submitted to block off several streets around Madison Square Garden in New York for a major event between July 2 and 4.
.
On Monday, trucks began loading large amounts of technical equipment into the arena, and a red carpet was also rolled out over an entrance staircase - but was quickly removed again.
.
Information:
TMZ and other media outlets are reporting that a huge staircase is being loaded into the arena, speculating that the equipment is part of a massive fairytale castle ahead of what has been dubbed "America's Royal Wedding."
.
According to an anonymous police source with insight into the security planning, the festivities will begin with a rehearsal dinner on Thursday evening, July 2, with the wedding planned for Friday evening, July 3. According to several media outlets, Thursday's dinner will be "intimate" with around 100 guests.
.
A larger wedding party will be held on July 3 - with up to 1,000 guests. According to TMZ, the invitees have been forced to sign confidentiality agreements not to reveal anything about the celebration.
.
The location was chosen to ensure the safety and privacy of the bride and groom and their friends. Madison Square Garden has virtually no windows on the outside, and there is an entrance with a ramp that allows celebrities to be discreetly brought in by car.
.
The guest list is secret. Among the names being speculated are Gigi Hadid, Selena Gomez, Ed Sheeran, Zoë Kravitz, Suki Waterhouse and Sombra. Travis Kelce's Kansas City Chiefs teammates are expected to be there - several of them are said to have booked into the Marriott Marquis hotel near the arena, according to the New York Times .
.
Rumor has it that Stevie Nicks of Fleetwood Mac will sing. The BBC notes that this would explain why Taylor Swift wore a t-shirt with the name “Stevie Knicks” at a New York Knicks game a couple of weeks ago. Others are talking about country star Tim McGraw - and maybe, maybe Paul McCartney.
.
What will Swift wear to the wedding? The Hollywood Reporter speculates that one of Swift's favorite brands, Monse, has made a few options. But the "real" wedding dress is believed to be created by Northern Irish fashion designer Jonathan Anderson at Christian Dior.
.
The saddest rumor is possibly that Swift and Kelce aren't getting married at all now - or that they're already married. The Atlantic reports on disillusioned Swifties who were long convinced that the wedding would happen as early as June 13.
