Yes, it’s really happening.
After months of speculation and tabloid fervor, pop star Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce will hold a wedding celebration at New York City’s Madison Square Garden this week, two sources told CNN on Tuesday.
The power couple is expected to hold a rehearsal event Thursday at the Manhattan arena, followed by a larger celebration Friday that will go until 4 a.m. Some 1,000 people are expected to attend the latter event, according to sources familiar with the planning.
It’s a ridiculous venue with ridiculous timing. Who else but Tayvis could compete with America’s 250 birthday? Or, on the flip side: What more fitting way is there to mark the anniversary of the nation’s founding than with the highly scrutinized nuptials of America’s sweetheart and a football superstar?
The blockbuster wedding comes as New York City is experiencing a busy start to summer. The Knicks were actually good, breaking a 53-year-drought by winning the NBA championship and inspiring acts of passion and mania across the city. The FIFA World Cup has attracted throngs of delighted tourists to traverse the subway and try ranch dressing for the first time.
