Planning a wedding<\/a> always means a thousand little moving parts. And when you\u2019re a celebrity as big as Taylor Swift<\/a>, one of the moving parts you must consider is security. How can you throw the type of celebration you dream of while still making sure you and your guests are safe? It\u2019s certainly a balancing act.<\/p>\n Michael Evanoff, former U.S. Assistant Secretary for the Bureau of Diplomatic Security at the U.S. Department of State and Global CSO at Verkada, talked to RadarOnline<\/em><\/a> about the security protocols for such a big event and what\u2019s likely being done to keep everyone safe.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Related:\u00a0<\/strong>Who has Taylor Swift dated?<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cAn event of this magnitude doesn\u2019t get planned like a wedding<\/a> \u2013 it gets planned like the NATO summit or a state visit. While most weddings are planned around the guest experience, this one will be planned around the threat assessment,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n The expert indicated all aspects will be evaluated for security risks and stressed that \u201clayers of comprehensive security operation\u201d will go into effect. Not just that, he said there\u2019s likely to be \u201creal-time coordination across multiple law enforcement agencies.\u201d<\/p>\n Plus, Swift herself is predicted to have \u201cadvanced teams, perimeter control, credentialing systems\u201d in place for the wedding.<\/p>\n This is especially complicated because the wedding is expected to be so large. \u201cThe smaller and more controlled the list, the smaller the attack surface,\u201d Evanoff said. But Swift has already said she\u2019s going large. And according to Evanoff, that makes the risk greater as every guest becomes \u201ca security variable.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYou will see strict credentialing, device protocols, and restricted plus-one policies because every additional person is an additional access point with the potential for an information leak.\u201d<\/p>\n There have been reports that Swift has restricted plus ones, which is already causing trouble. One unnamed guest told\u00a0Daily Mail<\/em><\/a>: \u201cMy invite did not let me bring a plus one. I mean, what am I supposed to do? Go alone? That is so awkward. I don\u2019t think I am going to attend because I don\u2019t want to go by myself, and I am not sure I will know too many people there.\u201d<\/p>\n Wedding problems. They\u2019re the same for everyone.<\/p>\n Swift and Kelce<\/a> have done their best to crack down on the spread of information. Reports indicate the wedding celebration will take place on July 3 at Madison Square Garden, but the lack of confirmation means at least some of the attempts to keep things under lock and key have been successful.<\/p>\n Ironically, one of the people they\u2019ve had to keep in the dark is reportedly Kelce\u2019s father, Ed. Sources told the\u00a0Daily Mail<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>that Swift withheld details about the \u201creally, really, big\u201d wedding from Ed Kelce because he \u201ccan\u2019t be trusted\u201d to keep a secret.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s sort of like a loose cannon,\u201d one source said. \u00a0\u201cNobody knows what he\u2019s going to say, so it\u2019s kind of a controversial situation.\u201d<\/p>\n Ed Kelce was the one who revealed to the public when, where, and how his son popped the question to Swift.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n![\"Travis](\"https:\/\/stylecaster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Travis-Kelce-Taylor-Swift.jpg?w=300&h=168&crop=1\")
