NEW YORK: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are widely expected to cap their three-year love story with a wedding celebration in New York, where a frenzy of activity surrounded the arena expected to host the pop megastar and one of the greatest players in American football history.

While neither has confirmed plans publicly, the New York Post reported on Thursday, citing unnamed sources, that the two had already wed.

A heavy media presence and barricades around New York’s Madison Square Garden fuelled expectations of a major event, as passersby stopped to snap photos and videos on their phones. Workers spent days this week unloading food and scenery into the iconic Manhattan arena.

Scaffolding with heavy black curtains was in place, preventing crowds from spotting people on arrival, and a sign posted by an entrance on Thursday warned anyone entering to maintain strict confidentiality.
