Taylor Swift appears to have overlooked a key detail in her wedding planning — and it could spell trouble for any fans flocking to Madison Square Garden amid New York City’s crushing heat wave, sources said Thursday.
The “Cruel Summer” singer, 36, failed to submit a plan on how she’d protect Swifties who may turn up outside the Manhattan arena amid the punishing heat, according to sources familiar with the planning.

Swift and her NFL star beau Travis Kelce didn’t offer a heat mitigation plan in her permit filed with the city for the two-day event in Midtown, the sources said. Numerous streets will be closed off around the venue for the celebration.
But despite temperatures set to hit triple digits, the pop star’s team didn’t request assistance from city officials in keeping her fans cool. Her team hadn’t submitted a plan to deal with the heat as of Thursday afternoon, sources said — though air conditioning units were spotted being loaded into the arena for her guests.

Some of the measures that could be taken include handing out water, hydration packs, potentially misting and staff resources on site with the temps forecast to be unbearably hot the rest of the week.

About 100 guests were expected at the Garden for a rehearsal dinner Thursday evening, with the big day set to host some 1,000 attendees on Friday.
About 130 NYPD cops are expected to be on hand outside the arena both Thursday and Friday – with the power couple picking up the tab for any overtime costs, law enforcement sources previously told The Post.
The MTA said the major event won’t disrupt public transit underground.
