New York City\u2019s Mayor Zohran Mamdani appeared to verify reports that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are indeed getting married in the city next month<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The \u201cOpalite\u201d hitmaker and Kansas City Chiefs\u2019 tight end, who got engaged last year<\/a>, are rumored to be tying the knot over the July 4 weekend at Madison Square Garden, home of the reigning NBA champions, the New York Knicks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Speaking at a Monday press conference, Mamdani, 34, discussed the city\u2019s preparedness for the upcoming July 5 World Cup match at MetLife Stadium, just across the Hudson River in East Rutherford, New Jersey. He acknowledged that the match coincides with a few other \u201cbig events\u201d happening in the city that holiday weekend.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are the biggest city in the country,\u201d Mamdani said. \u201cWe are used to big events, and we are incredibly excited for this one.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know it coincides with July 4, America 250, Taylor Swift\u2019s wedding <\/a>all happening at the same time,\u201d he continued, assuring that he is \u201cfully confident in the work of the NYPD\u201d to provide a \u201csafe experience\u201d over the three-day weekend.<\/p>\n

A reporter later asked Mamdani a follow-up question about Swift\u2019s wedding: \u201cHave you been invited? Are you going?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo and no,\u201d he replied, laughing. \u201cI wish them a lovely wedding. I\u2019ll listen to \u2018Only the Young\u2019 at home on my own,\u201d the mayor added, referencing the 2020 protest song featured in the singer\u2019s Netflix documentary Miss Americana. The track, originally intended for her 2019 album Lover, includes lyrics about school shootings, Donald Trump and vote tampering.<\/p>\n

While Mamdani did not directly address the exact location of Swift and Kelce\u2019s wedding, his comments at least seemingly confirm that it will take place somewhere in New York City.<\/p>\n

Swift, 36, and Kelce, 36, have been together since September 2023. Last month, numerous sources leaked supposed details about their forthcoming nuptials, including that they will be held at the city\u2019s world-famous arena<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Located in Midtown Manhattan above Penn Station, Madison Square Garden has multiple entrances and exits, which could be a reason why the high-profile couple reportedly chose the venue.<\/p>\n

One source told Page Six that \u201cprivacy was of number one importance to them both.\u201d The source also suggested that guests would be taken to the arena on blacked-out buses to ensure privacy.<\/p>\n

More than 1,000 guests are reported to have been invited to the wedding, including Suki Waterhouse, Selena Gomez, Gigi Hadid and Ed Sheeran. Swift\u2019s once-close friend model Keleigh Sperry<\/a> and her actor husband, Miles Teller, however, were reportedly not invited.<\/p>\n

A source told TMZ earlier this month that Sperry and the \u201cFate of Ophelia\u201d singer <\/a>are not as close as they used to be, and it\u2019s been a \u201csad time\u201d for their friendship. Their mutual friends reportedly hoped they would reconcile before the wedding.<\/p>\n

Another source claimed that the pair grew apart due to lifestyle differences, but it isn\u2019t clear what those were.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New York City\u2019s Mayor Zohran Mamdani appeared to verify reports that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are indeed…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":268607,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[34934,836,1066,9,24,1104,56,63,65,64,9138,1473,15839,82],"class_list":["post-268606","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york-city","tag-east-rutherford","tag-kansas-city-chiefs","tag-new-jersey","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-new-york-knicks","tag-ny","tag-nyc","tag-nyc-headlines","tag-nyc-news","tag-san-antonio-spurs","tag-taylor-swift","tag-travis-kelce","tag-zohran-mamdani"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/268606","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=268606"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/268606\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/268607"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=268606"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=268606"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=268606"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
