\n\tFollowing in the footsteps of Sly Stone and Kathy Silvia over 51 years ago, Taylor Swift<\/a> and Travis Kelce<\/a> look to be getting married next month at Madison Square Garden<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\n\tEvent, street closure and tenting permits for one of the \u201cbiggest events of the summer\u201d have been filed with New York City agencies, the New York Times first reported today.<\/a> Additionally, Big Apple law enforcement sources confirm to Deadline that NYPD<\/a> and Penn Station Amtrak officers have been told the \u201cLove Story\u201d singer\/songwriter and the Kansas City Chiefs\u00a0tight end are getting hitched on July 3 at the fabled \u201cworld\u2019s most famous arena.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThere appears to be some confusion about what roads near the Garden will or could be closed down for the Friday gathering \u2014 a situation made all the more harried by the proximity of Penn Station, ongoing FIFA World Cup tourism and seen-it-all NYC being NYC leaning into the July 4 shindig. <\/p>\n

\n\tWhile the Swift camp did not respond when contacted by Deadline Wednesday on a wedding a venue or guests, it appears that several members of the Chiefs have booked hotel rooms near MSG for just before America\u2019s 250th birthday. In total, if the event permits handed out to planners Winick Productions are any indiction, no more than \u201c999 attendees\u201d will be at whatever is scheduled for the venue next week. <\/p>\n

\n\tOf course, this could all be a literally and figurative swift ruse on the part of the Miss Americana superstar and her Super Bowl<\/a>-winning fianc\u00e9. \u201cDon\u2019t be shocked if it turns out to be a small affair far away from the spotlight,\u201d an industry vet close to Swift and Kelce says. \u201cMaybe they\u2019ll really get marred at the Sphere, they both like surprises, fake-outs,\u201d the potential wedding guest added of the Vegas venue also owned by MSG boss Jimmy Dolan.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t(L to R) Alana Haim, Este Haim, Taylor Swift, and Mariska Hargitay attend Game 4 of the 2026 NBA Finals<\/a> at Madison Square Garden. <\/p>\n

\n\tSwift does like surprises.<\/p>\n

\n\tOn June 9, she surprised attendees <\/a>at the L.A. premiere of Toy Story 5<\/a> with a performance of her \u201cI Knew It, I Knew You\u201d tune from the Disney\/Pixar flick\u2019s soundtrack. As well as taking the stage at Hollywood and Highland\u2019s Dolby, Swift that night also sang a rendition of Randy Newman<\/a>\u2018s classic \u201cYou\u2019ve Got A Friend In Me\u201d with the maestro himself. Soon after, on June 10, <\/a>master marketer Swift appeared court side at MSG at Game 4 of the 2026 NBA Finals with pals the Haim sisters sporting a custom made tee that said \u201cStevie Knicks\u201d in the font of the hometown heroes and now NBA Champs the NY Knicks.<\/p>\n

\n\tSince Swift and New Heights podcast co-host Kelce announced their engagement online last summer, speculation has run rampant over when they would tie the knot, where and who would be invited among their wide A-list crowd. Throughout the saga of Blake Lively<\/a> (who has Swift as a godmother to one of her and Ryan Reynolds<\/a>\u2018 kids) and Justin Baldoni<\/a>\u2018s now seemingly settled legal battle,<\/a> for instance, whispers abound that Swift would not be inviting the It Ends With Us star to the nupitials because of the press and attention the case garnered and how the multi-Grammy<\/a> winner kept getting dragged into it. <\/p>\n

\n\tIn the end, like the locked down, invite only wedding itself at MSG, we\u2019ll have to wait and see.<\/p>\n

\n\tHaving said that, the Garden has seen playoff games galore over the decades, every performer possible (including Swift herself), as well as political conventions, award shows, asinine Donald Trump<\/a> rallies, a 1939 gathering of American Nazis and more. In terms of MSG weddings, the biggest in numbers had to be the mass marriages in 1982 when Reverend Sun Myung Moon of the controversial Unification Church joined 2,075 couples simultaneously in matrimony.<\/p>\n

\n\tBefore any Swift\/Kelce union (if it happens), the biggest MSG wedding figuratively was back on June 5, 1974, the late, great Sly Stone and model Kathy Silvia got married in front of 20,000 fans as an opening act to a sold-out show by the Family Stone. Not to jinx anything, but in spite of all the hoopla (or perhaps because of it), Stone and Silvia separated six months later and were divorced by 1976. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Following in the footsteps of Sly Stone and Kathy Silvia over 51 years ago, Taylor Swift and Travis…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":724207,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[8678,12,88,16050,75829,8680,15050,5489,361,4036,151435,8985,1803,4915,79349,4144],"class_list":["post-724206","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-blake-lively","tag-donald-trump","tag-entertainment","tag-grammy","tag-james-dolan","tag-justin-baldoni","tag-madison-square-garden","tag-nba-finals","tag-new-york-knicks","tag-nypd","tag-randy-newman","tag-ryan-reynolds","tag-super-bowl","tag-taylor-swift","tag-toy-story-5","tag-travis-kelce"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/724206","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=724206"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/724206\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/724207"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=724206"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=724206"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=724206"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
