Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are kicking off their wedding weekend with a rehearsal dinner that is just as star-studded as the reception itself.
The pop superstar and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, both 36, have an impressive mix of family members, longtime friends, teammates and celebrity guests ahead of their Madison Square Garden bash on Friday.
In addition to immediate family members, Swift’s close friends Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper, Jack Antonoff and his sister, and Ashley Avignone, are gathering at the Infosys Theater inside the iconic arena for the rehearsal dinner, which will run from 6 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. on Thursday evening, Page Six can exclusively confirm.
A spy tells us sports reporter Erin Andrews and her husband, former NHL player Jarret Stoll, Swift’s longtime publicist, Tree Paine, childhood best friend, Abigail Anderson, Kelce’s manager, Amanda Santa, his longtime friend Reggie “Regrunt” King and his wife, Sarah, and sports commentator Charissa Thompson, are also invited and were spotted at a swanky midtown Manhattan hotel Thursday ahead of the event.
Little Big Town singer Kimberly Schlapman was all smiles as she stunned in a blush pink satin mini dress with white lace trim while heading to the rehearsal dinner with her husband, Stephen Schlapman.
Former NFL tight end and close friend of Kelce, Ross Travis, appeared excited as he made his way to the exclusive affair. Earlier this month, Ross was spotted celebrating Kelce’s bachelor party with him.
The rehearsal dinner guests departed the upscale hotel at around 5:30 p.m. for MSG, as black SUVs were lined up outside to pick them up.
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford and his wife, Kelly, were seen chatting with Andrews, Stoll and others at the hotel bar, but did not join them for the rehearsal dinner.
Tight end George Kittle and his wife, Claire, are staying at the same hotel, but were not seen leaving for the rehearsal with the group after airplane delays.
Sports commentator Greg Olsen, Green Bay Packers lineman Micah Parsons and former Kansas City Chiefs player Mitch Schwartz are also in town for the nuptials, but did not head to the rehearsal dinner.
The guests were dressed in glam attire, as Andrews wore a long silver dress, while Paine wore a baby blue fit and flare.
On their wedding day, over 1,000 guests are expected to attend. The reception kicks off at 6:30 p.m. and is expected to end at 2:00 a.m.
Doors open for guests at 3:30 p.m., with cocktail hour beginning at 4 p.m. on the sixth-floor concourse. The ceremony will then start at 5:30 p.m. on the arena floor.
A-list guests expected to attend the wedding of the year include Adrien Brody, Sombr, Zoë Kravitz, the Haim sisters, Selena Gomez and more.
Meanwhile, Page Six exclusively revealed that Blake Lively, Miles Teller and his wife, Keleigh Sperry, didn’t make the cut for an invite.
TMZ reported last month that guests attending the pair’s star-studded wedding have been asked to sign NDAs as part of extensive efforts to keep details of the celebration private.
However, Page Six exclusively reported that the “Fortnight” singer and NFL athlete’s inner circle have not been asked to do the same.
“Their closest friends and family haven’t been asked to sign NDAs,” the insider said. “Protecting their privacy is just something everyone in their inner circle has always naturally done.”
“Nobody wants to be the reason details leak,” the source continued. “The people in their inner circle have gone out of their way to protect them. Some even offered to sign NDAs simply to give Taylor and Travis extra peace of mind.”
Meanwhile, a possible nod to one of Swift’s songs added to the buzz outside the iconic Midtown venue Monday.
Page Six spotted several vendors setting up for a massive event at MSG, including a lighting company, a piping and draping business, a transportation services company and several unmarked trucks.
Staffers were seen unloading large items wrapped up in tarps off of parked semi-trailer trucks. There were also forklifts seen moving massive trunks filled with unknown inventory.
Page Six also revealed that the couple tapped renowned celebrity wedding planner Mark Seed to conceptualize the bash.
The Grammy winner and the Super Bowl champ revealed their engagement in August 2025 with a playful Instagram post that read, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.” They ended the caption with a dynamite emoji, seemingly referencing their “TNT” nickname.
