POP superstar Taylor Swift and NFL star Travis Kelce have tied the knot, according to a report by the New York Post’s Page Six published Thursday, citing multiple anonymous sources.
The couple, both aged 36, are said to have exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony attended only by a small group of close family and friends. While the exact date and location were not revealed, the report noted that Swift’s private jet was recently spotted in Nashville, the city where she launched her music career, fueling speculation that the wedding may have taken place there. Swift’s representatives have not yet issued an official statement, and the report remains unconfirmed by independent news organizations such as Reuters.
As rumors of the marriage spread, preparations were well underway at New York’s iconic Madison Square Garden, where the couple is expected to host their celebrations. Swift’s team announced Thursday that the pair had donated $26 million to various charities in New York and other locations this week, marking a generous gesture ahead of the festivities.
Media outlets reported that the schedule includes a smaller gathering for about 100 guests on Thursday, followed by a larger celebration for roughly 1,000 people on Friday. A notice posted at the venue warned all attendees entering between June 29 and July 3 that they would be photographed and required to sign strict confidentiality agreements, prohibiting them from sharing details about the event or its guests.
Signs of the high-profile occasion were clearly visible as crews transformed the arena. News footage showed workers bringing in elaborate decorations, including large arrangements of foliage, boxes labeled “garden party,” and crates marked for lobster meat, suggesting a lavish reception. The venue’s public schedule was unusually clear of events from June 29 until July 7 — a rare gap during the busy summer season, which is typically filled with concerts and sports matches. Security was also heightened, with police setting up barriers, closing nearby streets, and restricting pedestrian access to maintain privacy and order.
The wedding preparations come as New York City hosts a busy holiday weekend coinciding with major events and extreme weather. The city is preparing for Saturday’s arrival of tall ships to mark the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Declaration of Independence, while a World Cup soccer match is scheduled for Sunday in neighboring New Jersey. Earlier this week, daredevils drew attention by scaling the Empire State Building to display a peace banner. Amid these activities, city officials have declared a heat emergency due to soaring temperatures. Mayor Zohran Mamdani even referenced the rumored wedding in a public advisory, noting that anyone celebrating inside the arena would be sheltered from the heat — a good example for residents to follow to stay safe.
