THE RUNDOWN
- Sources have spoken to ABC News and CBS News about the exact timing of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding events.
- The couple is expected to have a rehearsal dinner the evening of July 2.
- Their wedding will reportedly take place during the late afternoon and evening of July 3.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are reportedly getting married at Madison Square Garden on July 3, with their first event scheduled for July 2. For weeks, the exact timing of their wedding was a mystery, but sources familiar with plans have now given ABC News a clearer picture of when exactly Swift and Kelce are tying the knot.
Here’s what time everything is reportedly happening:
The July 2 Rehearsal Dinner
On July 2, Swift and Kelce are expected to host about 100 guests at 6 P.M. Two sources told CBS News that they are having a rehearsal dinner at Infosys Theater at the Garden.
The July 3 Wedding and Reception
July 3 is their wedding day—and the event will start early and go very late. Sources told both CBS News and ABC News that about 1,000 guests will attend the ceremony, which will begin with a cocktail hour at 4 P.M. The event isn’t scheduled to end until 4 A.M.
Some reports have circulated with more granular detail, claiming doors will open at 3:30 P.M.; that the ceremony will take place at 5:30 P.M.; and that the reception will begin at 6:30 P.M. Swift and Kelce have not confirmed any of this, of course.
A source told NBC News that performances are expected during the night. Multiple sources told Rolling Stone that Swift’s good friend Stevie Nicks is expected to be one of the artists singing.
How Both Events Are Being Kept Private
Sources told ABC News that both events have a no-phone policy for everyone in the building, including guests. Tents will also be installed outside to help hide arrivals and departures from the public.
A source additionally told NBC News that all guests received NDAs to sign with their invitations.
Swift and Kelce were spotted in New York City yesterday ahead of the festivities. Back in September, a source told People that the couple wanted to keep their wedding “more private”—something they are striving to do now at one of the most famous arenas in the heart of New York City.
“It will definitely be a private affair and not a spectacle,” the source said then. “They both have a close circle of friends, and they’ll respect their privacy.”
