It’s finally here! Guests are beginning to arrive at Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding extravaganza, taking place at Madison Square Garden. Streets around MSG have been blocked off to allow for a semblance of privacy, but paparazzi and patient superfans have been able to catch a glimpse at the starry arrivals.
Swift’s best childhood friend, Abigail Anderson Berard, was one of the first guests seen departing from her hotel, dressed in a strapless Sau Lee gown with a greige boned bodice and a draped brown satin skirt. Dakota Johnson, meanwhile, sauntered out of the Greenwich Hotel in an asymmetrical sheer black halter dress that showed off liberal amounts of leg. Elsewhere in the city, a tuxedoed Bradley Cooper hopped into Gigi Hadid’s car; though we only saw a sliver of Hadid, the model appeared to be wearing a glittering pink gown.
There is, naturally, a strong contingent of fellow musicians. Singer Benson Boone ditched his signature baby blue jumpsuit for a tuxedo, while Machine Gun Kelly put a punky spin on black tie, making the case for formal shorts, and Maren Morris opted for a black dress with a cutout detail and a thigh-high slit. Athletes were also to be expected, with Kyle Juszczyk and his wife Kristin, Ross Travis, and sports broadcaster Erin Andrews among the early arrivals.
There has been much speculation over all the details of the pop star and NFL athlete’s big day: from Swift’s dress (or dresses) to what an MSG wedding actually looks like and who would be present to see the pair tie the knot. The couple—whose love story is said to have started in the summer of 2023, and who announced their engagement in August 2025—have long established a core set of friends.
Still, Swift and Kelce’s guest list had been a tough one to crack. According to NBC News, attendees received NDAs to sign along with their watermarked invitations. Aside from the obvious—those being Swift and Kelce’s families—more of Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs teammates (like Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany) will almost certainly be in attendance. Then, there’s Swift’s tight team of women: Berard, Selena Gomez, Gigi Hadid, Ashley Avignone, the Haim sisters, Zoë Kravitz, Sabrina Carpenter, and Gracie Abrams are all among her inner citcle.
Following last night’s rehearsal dinner, over 1,000 guests are expected to gather on the MSG arena floor for a party that will run well into the night.
