\"\"NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce will celebrate their wedding at Madison Square Garden on Friday night, according to a law enforcement official briefed on the security plans.<\/p>\n

The festivities will kick off with a smaller rehearsal dinner planned for Thursday night, the official said. The person spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss the events.<\/p>\n

Speculation about the superstar singer and football player\u2019s nuptials has built to a frenzy in recent days, following weeks of unconfirmed reports that it would take place over July Fourth weekend at one of New York\u2019s iconic landmarks.<\/p>\n

This week, crews have been unloading equipment from trucks outside Madison Square Garden. A large carpet was briefly unveiled outside one entrance and then promptly removed.<\/p>\n

Nothing has been publicly confirmed by the couple, despite multiple requests from The Associated Press to Swift\u2019s representative for comment, including on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

At a press conference Wednesday, New York Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said the department was tracking an event at Madison Square Garden planned for Friday, but declined to go into further detail.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe NYPD will of course have a detail in place, but I\u2019m not going to go into more specifics at this time,\u201d Tisch said.<\/p>\n

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has also confirmed that a permit was filed for a large event. \u201cWe are fully prepared,\u201d he added. \u201cThere isn\u2019t anything to share beyond that.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
