The trail of clues surrounding Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce\u2019s reported wedding plans now includes a New York City permit filing.<\/p>\n
Dora Pekec, a spokesperson for the New York City Mayor\u2019s Office, confirmed that a permit was filed in early June with the city\u2019s Street Activity Permit Office. <\/p>\n
Pekec confirmed some details of the permit that were first reported by The New York Times<\/a> in an article about Swift and Kelce\u2019s possible wedding plans. The article cited three people with knowledge of the matter and a city official briefed on the preparations. <\/p>\n Pekec declined to say who filed the permit and did not provide NBC News with a copy. <\/p>\n A source at MSG told NBC News that the venue has blocked off July 2 to July 4 and is making preparations for a big event. The person declined to be named in order to discuss a confidential matter. It was not clear whether the dates or preparations were being made for the Swift-Kelce wedding. Pekec confirmed street closures around the venue on those dates.<\/p>\n According to the Times report, Winick Productions, an event-planning company, filed the application with the city and requested to set up a tent outside Madison Square Garden for an event of 500-999 people. Elliot Winick, the company\u2019s president, declined to comment when reached by NBC News via email. The company also declined to comment to the Times.<\/p>\n The Times, citing the unnamed city official, reported that MSG \u201cis planning to host the wedding festivities on July 3.\u201d<\/p>\n Representatives for Swift, Kelce and MSG did not immediately respond to requests for comment Wednesday.<\/p>\n Kelce, a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, and Swift got engaged in August<\/a>, two years after their whirlwind romance<\/a> first captivated the internet. <\/p>\n The duo has kept details surrounding their nuptials under wraps, but that hasn\u2019t stopped fan speculation on where the couple might get married. <\/p>\n Rumored locations ranged from Swift\u2019s Rhode Island compound<\/a> to Madison Square Garden<\/a>, with fans also guessing that the event would fall sometime during the summer and include a guest list<\/a> of notable celebrities in Swift\u2019s squad. <\/p>\n At first, MSG \u2014 which is in Midtown and above the busy Penn Station \u2014 seemed an unlikely choice, with some Swifties questioning the reports that circulated online. <\/p>\n \u201cDoes Taylor strike anyone as the type of bride that would get married in a stadium versus some romantic beachside estate or villa in Europe?\u201d one Reddit user wrote<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s smoke and mirrors. There\u2019s no way a single detail about her wedding is getting leaked. Not the guests, date, location, nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n But others became convinced<\/a> that Swift had already dropped some Easter eggs, which the artist is known to do ahead<\/a> of major announcements and album releases. <\/p>\n Earlier this month, Swift appeared courtside<\/a> for Game 4 of the 2026 NBA Finals, cheering for the New York Knicks alongside two of the Haim sisters and Mariska Hargitay.<\/p>\n
