Breaking news, Taylor Swift<\/a> fans. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani<\/a> is a \u201cLover\u201d stan.<\/p>\n

Swift is set to marry Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce Friday at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Swift and co. obtained a city permit for the event, which will go into effect at 5 p.m. ET Friday, July 3 and run through 4 a.m. ET Saturday, July 4. The permit\u2019s details, which were revealed this week, came after months of speculation about the plan for Kelce and Swift\u2019s wedding<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In honor of the couple\u2019s forthcoming nuptials, the New York Times shared on Spotify a list of Mayor Mamdani\u2019s 12 favorite Swift songs. His selections include well-known Swift hits like \u201cLove Story (Taylor\u2019s Version),\u201d \u201cCruel Summer,\u201d \u201cDelicate\u201d and \u201cAugust,\u201d as well as lesser known deep cuts like \u201cMy Tears Ricochet,\u201d \u201cDress,\u201d \u201cI Know Places\u201d and \u201cOnly the Young,\u201d the song that Swift wrote for her 2020 Netflix documentary \u201cMiss Americana.\u201d<\/p>\n

Perhaps most surprising of all: Mamdani has four songs from Swift\u2019s divisive 2019 album \u201cLover\u201d (\u201cI Forgot That You Existed,\u201d \u201cCruel Summer,\u201d \u201cI Think He Knows\u201d and \u201cLondon Boy\u201d) on his playlist, more than any of her other albums. Take from that what you will, Swifties.<\/p>\n

Swift and Kelce announced their engagement in August 2025, after two years of dating, with Swift writing on Instagram, \u201cYour English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Thursday, the couple held their rehearsal dinner at Madison Square Garden\u2019s Infosys Theater. Among the dinner\u2019s guests were a number of Swift and Kelce\u2019s celebrity friends, including Jack Antonoff, Adam Sandler, Lena Dunham, Erin Andrews, Greg Olsen, Aric Jones, Gigi Hadid and others.<\/p>\n

In anticipation of their lavish Friday wedding, Swift and Kelce donated $26 million across 20 charities<\/a>. Longtime Swift publicist Tree Paine confirmed the donations Thursday, as well as the list of charities that the couple selected, including City Harvest New York City, Food Bank For NYC, Los Angeles Regional Food Bank, Dolly Parton\u201ds Imagination Library National, New York\u2019s Education Through Music and Children\u2019s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, MO, among others.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are incredibly grateful for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce\u2019s generous $1 million donation to City Harvest. This donation is a love letter to New York, and a bold commitment to our efforts to ensure that no New Yorker goes hungry,\u201d Jilly Stephens, CEO of City Harvest, said in a statement. \u201cTheir support comes at a critical time, with visits to New York City soup kitchens and food pantries near record highs and expected to increase further in response to federal funding cuts.\u201d<\/p>\n
