Are Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce Getting Married At MSG? The Mayor Might’ve Confirmed It

Your favorite English teacher and gym teacher are getting married, and if the latest sources are to be believed, that wedding might be happening at Madison Square Garden. On Aug. 26, 2025, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce announced their engagement via an Instagram post and Swifties have been in full detective mode ever since, searching for clues about the couple’s wedding plans. Although I’d like to think Swift would get married “in paper rings,” some reports have fans convinced that the couple plans to tie the knot at Madison Square Garden on July 3.

Although Kelce and Swift have not confirmed anything about the wedding venue or location, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani may have just added fuel to the speculation by possibly confirming the rumor. 

While discussing the city’s major summer events during a press briefing, Mamdani appeared to casually mention “Taylor Swift’s wedding,” alongside other major New York City celebrations.

“We are used to big events, and we are incredibly excited for this one. We know it coincides with the Knicks’s [NBA] Finals run” Mamdani said. “We know it coincides with July 4, America 250, Taylor Swift’s wedding — all happening at the same time — and we are so excited to welcome the world here.”

He also wished Swift and Kelce a “lovely wedding,” and said he wouldn’t be there — instead, he said he’ll spend his time listening to “Only the Young” at home (a song he’s said embodies his mayoral campaign). A Madison Square Garden wedding is pretty iconic for Swift, especially with how much we know she loves New York City. Now I’m trying to figure out how she’s going to decorate the stadium for a wedding. 

While Mamdani’s comments have sent Swifties into a frenzy, neither Swift nor Kelce have announced a wedding date or location. Renting a private event at Madison Square Garden can cost about $1 million a day. InStyle estimates the wedding may cost the couple up to $20 million overall.

The rumours that the wedding will happen on July 3 are still up in the air, but fans speculate that date because Madison Square Garden has no public events occurring during that weekend. Still, a Madison Square Garden wouldn’t be completely out of character for Swift. Swift has a long history of showing her love of New York City in her songs like “Welcome to New York” and “Lover.” And if the wedding venue rumors are true, I wonder if friendship bracelets will be part of the dress code.
