In the months leading up to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s nuptials, the internet was buzzing with questions: Where would they have it? Would the ceremony be big or small? And most importantly, who would snag an invite?
Well, it’s safe to say that the wedding was an extravagant event in midtown Manhattan — and the guest list was filled to the brim with friends, family and fellow celebrities.
Among the first celebrity guests spotted arriving at the rehearsal dinner Thursday evening were Swift’s longtime collaborator Jack Antonoff and his sister, fashion designer Rachel Antonoff, according to People. Actress Lena Dunham was also photographed heading into the arena, along with model Gigi Hadid and actor Bradley Cooper, who arrived together in an SUV.
Selena Gomez shared an Instagram video of herself in the back of a car wearing a black lace gown, seemingly en route to the dinner. Swift’s childhood best friend Abigail Anderson was spotted arriving in a golden gown, along with Swift’s longtime publicist Tree Paine and close friend Ashley Avignone. Sports broadcasters Erin Andrews and Charissa Thompson were also photographed at the venue, as was San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle.
The New York Times suggested that a multiday event would take place at Madison Square Garden after confirming that Swift had rented it out. Per the outlet, Swift and Kelce planned to host an intimate gathering of about 100 guests on July 2, while their larger, glitzier celebration with 1,000 rumored guests and possible stage performances would take place on July 3. Swift and Kelce also reportedly filed a permit with New York City to close the streets around the arena from July 2-4.
Travis’s mother, Donna Kelce, touched down in New York on Thursday and headed straight to Madison Square Garden, per Backgrid photos published by TMZ. Travis’s childhood best friend Aric Jones was also on the guest list, according to People.
Elsewhere in New York, British TV presenter Graham Norton and actress Phoebe Waller-Bridge were spotted arriving in the city, according to The Sun. Swift’s frequent musical collaborators Ed Sheeran and Aaron Dessner were photographed at an upstate New York restaurant, per E! News, while Sabrina Carpenter was seen dining in the West Village, per the same outlet. Camila Cabello and Dua Lipa were photographed leaving a New York City recording studio.
On Friday afternoon, actress Dakota Johnson, British pop singer Griff and Bradley Cooper — this time photographed in a tux — were among those seen arriving for the main event, per videos posted to social media.
Stevie Nicks and Tim McGraw are reportedly expected to perform at the wedding, according to Page Six.
Also seen arriving Friday afternoon were singers Benson Boone and Ellie Goulding. Actor Eric Stonestreet was also on hand, and Graham Norton — who Swift had jokingly invited on his own talk show — finally made it in the door.
While their guest list was sizable, Kittle claimed Swift and Kelce “said absolutely no gifts.” Of course, it’s unclear if everyone who was invited honored the couple’s rule.
The couple’s Madison Square Garden festivities were first hinted at by NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch in June, before New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani seemed to confirm the plans as well.
The “Actually Romantic” pop star and the Kansas City Chiefs superstar announced their engagement with a joint Instagram post in August 2025. The couple, who had been dating for two years, garnered more than 37 million likes on their post, which included the caption, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.”
Swift spoke to Graham Norton about the wedding in October 2025. When asked if she’d keep the wedding intimate, Swift jokingly said that she planned to put “anyone I’ve ever talked to” on the guest list.
“I’m so excited about it,” Swift told Norton. “I know it’s gonna be fun to plan because I think the only stressful weddings are the ones where you have a small amount and people are on the bubble, and you have to evaluate or assess your relationship with them to see if they should be there. I’m not gonna do that.”
