New York City permits showed the wedding will start at 5pm local time, with guests partying until midnight.A bleary-eyed Ellie Goulding, a pop star friend of Swift, was seen boarding a plane in London on Friday morning, joining stars including supermodel Gigi Hadid, Swift’s childhood best friend Abigail Anderson Berard, resplendent in yellow silk, Kelce’s aunt and uncle, and Swift’s publicist, Tree Paine.The actor and author Lena Dunham, Swift’s long-time collaborator Jack Antonoff, and Hollywood star Bradley Cooper were also spotted on the approach to Madison Square Garden. Ed Sheeran, Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Sabrina Carpenter have also been seen arriving in New York City, presumably for the event.Queues of black SUVs outside Madison Square Garden as guests arrive for the wedding festivities.
