More details surrounding the highly-anticipated wedding of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are coming out and it seems like it will be a multi-day event with two different gatherings including a more intimate affair.
Daily Mail reported earlier this month that the 36-year-old pop megastar and 36-year-old NFL superstar would be throwing a big nuptial gathering at the iconic arena Madison Square Garden in New York City on Friday, July 3.
And now the latest buzz is that in addition to that event there will be a more intimate celebration at the arena the day before on Thursday July 2 according to The New York Times.
According to the publication an estimated 100 of their closest friends and family will be attending the first event.
Then the following day, the musician and athlete will be hosting a much larger party of about 1,000 people as the outlet claimed that it can potentially include onstage performances.
Daily Mail has reached out to Swift and Kelce’s representatives for comment and have yet to hear back.

Adding fuel to the fire that the high-profile wedding is set to take place in the world’s most famous arena is that permits have been filed to close the streets around the venue from July 2 to midday July 4.
Included in the request by event planners were spaces for tents, canopies, and trucks around the famous arena.
In addition, city officials are moving forward under the assumption that a major Swift-related event is heading to MSG.
One city official, who is claimed to have been briefed on preparations, even told the New York Times that the arena is planning to host ‘wedding festivities’ on July 3.
They also report that several members of the Kansas City Chiefs – which is the only professional team Kelce has played for – have booked rooms at the famous Marriott Marquis in Times Square around those dates.
Back on June 5, an insider exclusively told Daily Mail that the couple will tie the knot at Madison Square Garden, as they’ve decided to ’embrace the spectacle’ of a giant wedding.
The iconic – and enormous – venue is best known for concerts and professional sports, and can hold up to 22,000 people, however it’s unclear just how many people will be invited to witness Swift and Kelce tie the knot there.
The source also dished to Daily Mail that the superstar couple were considering Casa Cipriani as a potential wedding venue prior to settling on MSG.

The luxe private members club, located in Manhattan’s Financial District close to the World Trade Center, may still be used by the lovebirds for a private celebration, per the source.
The insider also says the NYPD are already in discussions to help secure MSG ahead of the wedding, which is expected to take place on Friday, July 3.
The Daily Mail reached out to Swift’s representative for confirmation at the time.
Swift was at MSG weeks ago as she attended game four of the NBA Finals to cheer on the eventual 2025-26 NBA Champion New York Knicks alongside Mariska Hargitay and Alana and Este Haim.
‘Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,’ the lovebirds captioned a joint Instagram post announcing their engagement in September last year.
Page Six reported in April that businessman Michael Rubin has moved his annual July 4 bash so it doesn’t coincide with the couple’s wedding.
Rubin is said to have bumped his party to July 1.
Insiders previously told The Daily Mail in May that wedding guests won’t know the location until the morning of July 3.
Before the MSG tip, one invitee speculated that Swift and Kelce could marry in an iconic hotel ballroom.
‘I get that, she doesn’t want everyone knowing where she is getting married until the last minute for security reasons,’ a source said.

‘Now it is one big guessing game – everyone is wondering where it will be. Probably a massive hotel like the Waldorf Astoria that has amazing security and access,’ the friend theorized.
Swift and Kelce debuted their romance in late 2023 when the pop star attended her first Kansas City Chiefs game.
She first opened up publicly about their relationship in a 2023 interview as Time’s Person of the Year.
At the time, she described herself and her then-boyfriend as ‘just two people supporting each other doing what we love.’
