Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding festivities are officially a-go.

After weeks of speculation that the pop star and her Super Bowl-winning fiancé are planning to tie the knot at New York City's Madison Square Garden, the couple's A-list guests have been spotted en route to the iconic venue's Infosys Theater for a rehearsal dinner.

PEOPLE spotted Swift's longtime pal and "Bad Blood" costar Lena Dunham heading into MSG around 6 p.m. ET on Thursday, while the U.S. *Sun* caught Adam Sandler inside the venue. Page Six also caught Swift besties Ashley Avignone and Gigi Hadid, as well as Hadid's beau, Bradley Cooper, en route from the model's Manhattan apartment.

According to PEOPLE, even more flocked to the massive venue in the heart of Midtown Manhattan. Those A-list names include Jack Antonoff, Swift's longtime producing partner and Dunham's ex; Rachel Antonoff, his designer sister whose creations Swift frequently dons; sports reporter Erin Andrews and her husband, former NHL star Jarret Stoll; retired sports commentator Greg Olsen, and more.

Selena Gomez, one of Swift's best friends, has neither confirmed nor denied her attendance at the weekend's festivities, though Page Six has reported she is locked in as a bridesmaid. The "Love You Like a Love Song" singer and *Only Murders in the Building *star did get fan speculation going on Thursday when she posted a video of herself dressed in a sophisticated black gown in the back of a moving car, applying a Taylor-esque shade of red Rare Beauty lipstick.

Per CBS, the rehearsal is expected to begin at 6 p.m. and continue until 10:30 p.m. The outlet additionally reported that Swift's team has applied for a street activity permit from July 2 to July 4 and hired private security for the event, as New York Police Department resources will be tight over the Fourth of July weekend.

For weeks, rumors have swirled that Swift and Kelce would host their massive garden-themed wedding at MSG on July 3 and over time, several pieces of evidence appeared to support the theory. On June 15, New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani appeared to accidentally confirm the wedding while addressing safety concerns around the busy holiday weekend. Referring to the World Cup match in neighboring New Jersey on July 5, Mamdani said, "We know it coincides with July 4, America 250, Taylor Swift's wedding all happening at the same time."

Then, on June 24, *The New York Times* published a story confirming several previously reported details while revealing some new ones. The outlet claimed that the rehearsal dinner — a smaller 100-guest event — would occur on Thursday, July 2, followed by a larger 1,000-guest gathering "with possible stage appearances," on Friday, July 3. The report additionally noted that permits were filed to request street closures around the Garden from July 2 through midday July 4.

Days later, on June 29, workers were spotted outside the iconic NYC venue, unloading equipment, decorations and boxes labeled, "Garden Party."

Reports have claimed that several of Kelce's Kansas City Chiefs teammates have booked hotel rooms in the area over the holiday weekend. While the rumored guests have done well to keep their lips sealed about the details, Kelce's friend and San Francisco 49ers tight end, George Kittle joked on June 25 that he and his wife still weren't clear on where the event would be taking place.

"I actually asked Travis last night and he laughed at me," Kittle shared. "So... I'm half expecting there just to be a jumbo jet on the runway and they put us on a plane somewhere. I don't have expectations, I know it's going to be amazing."

Among the 1,000 expected wedding guests are many well-known names. Celebrities who reportedly received an invite to the nuptials include Selena Gomez, Gigi Hadid, Zoë Kravitz, Ed Sheeran, and the Haim sisters (Alana, Danielle, and Este).

Swift and Kelce got engaged in August 2025 after nearly two and half years of dating. They announced the news days later with photos from the dreamy garden-set proposal and the cheeky caption, "Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married."
