It’s going to be a “Cruel Summer” for a few Madison Square Garden employees.
Page Six has learned at least four union workers were escorted out of the famed sports arena Thursday night, the night before Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding.
One source told us two stagehands “were escorted out Thursday night for taking pictures.”
Another source said the number was actually four.
However, one source clarified the snap-happy duo weren’t fired, noting that “since they work for the union, and not MSG, they would have to go to arbitration before they were fired.”
The insider instead said they will be sanctioned.
“They can’t work at the Garden anymore,” the source explained, “but they could work at other places [within the Madison Square Garden conglomerate].”
A spokesperson for MSG did not respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
Security had been extremely tight around the Garden for days leading up to the couple’s nuptials Friday.
Madison Square Garden’s corporate employees were banned from the arena ahead of the wedding, Page Six exclusively reported earlier this week.
“MSG is off limits to all corporate employees this week,” a source told us Tuesday, adding that employees “were not given a reason why it’s a no-go zone.”
Also, many of the 1,000 guests for the festivities were required to sign non-disclosure agreements. Those going were prohibited from sharing any details about the ceremony.
However, not all of the guests were required to submit NDAs.
A source told Page Six the couple did not ask their inner circle to sign on the dotted line.
“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.”
So far, very few details have trickled out about the starry night, which drew Steven Spielberg, Jennifer Lopez, Hugh Grant, Mariska Hargitay, Nikki Glaser, Bradley Cooper, Ethan Hawke, Ed Sheeran, Selena Gomez and Dakota Johnson — to name a few.
That said, the “Good Morning America” hosts shared some sweet details from the big night Saturday morning.
George Stephanopoulos, 65, told viewers the bride and groom, both 36, had “little books” at the altar, while Robin Roberts gushed over the pair bringing “their own vows.”
Last night, Swift’s publicist revealed that the couple both wore Christian Dior Haute Couture, which was created in Dior’s ateliers at 30 Avenue Montaigne in Paris.
Swift’s and Kelce’s shoes were custom-made by Christian Louboutin, and the Grammy winner wore Cartier jewelry.
The wedding ceremony — which was attended by 1,000 guests — was presided over by Adam Sandler. Swift’s brother, Austin, served as her “Man of Honor” and Kelce’s brother, Jason, was his “Best Man.”
