Taylor Swift<\/a> and Travis Kelce<\/a>‘s epic wedding bash at Madison Square Garden ended up hosing some local businesses … and when one pub dared to speak up, Swifties lashed out.<\/p>\n

A biz owner whose joint is on West 31st Street tells TMZ … he was forced to close Friday evening into most of Saturday due to the wedding. He was initially told the sidewalk would remain open for foot traffic — not great, but manageable — then, last minute, the entire area was closed off.<\/p>\n

When the bar announce the change of plans in a social media post, we’re told Swifties lit them up because they felt the business losing money was no biggie when compared to Taylor’s “Love Story” — and demanded they pipe down on the T-Swift slander.<\/p>\n

Then came the review bombs … Swifties trying to tank the shop’s score — calling the owner “a real piece of s***” for complaining about the impact … and saying he was “looking for a handout because he wasn’t invited to a celebrity wedding and they apparently didn’t respond to his greed.”<\/p>\n

Prior to the big day, TMZ talked to several bar and restaurant owners around MSG … and they all agreed the wedding would likely hurt their bottom line — and were dreading what would otherwise be a prosperous holiday weekend.<\/p>\n

It’s ironic that Swifties came for the business … because so few bothered to go down to MSG for the wedding … something another business owner told TMZ was funny, seeing as they were told to expect hordes of fans in the area. In the end … the huge group of media from around the globe far outnumbered the Swifties.<\/p>\n

And no … the lovebirds didn’t reach out to the mom-and-pop shop impacted by the wedding … as the owner told TMZ, they’re just SOL.<\/p>\n
