Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are set to tie the knot around July 4-5 with a small private ceremony. Local spots near Madison Square Garden are already bracing for headaches. Reports point to MSG playing a key role in the big day.
Taylor Swift rented out Madison Square Garden for at least three days around the event, paying about $1 million per night for setup, the wedding and breakdown. Businesses on West 31st and 33rd Streets told TMZ they received zero info on security plans and fear a repeat of the lockdown during a recent Knicks game.
A West 33rd owner called the timing a nightmare on a holiday weekend with the World Cup happening too. He floated the idea that the couple should compensate shops if foot traffic tanks. Another joked it is not too late to move the whole thing elsewhere.
A Daily Mail source described the actual wedding as a highly secure intimate gathering for close family and friends only, with QR codes directing guests to MSG on July 3 possibly for screening before heading elsewhere. Some reports suggest the New York City venue might just be a ruse and the real spot could be Taylor's Rhode Island mansion instead.
