With final preparations in full swing, even staff booked to work the party said they had little idea of what was being planned. Swift fans said it didn\u2019t matter that so little is known for certain, perhaps best symbolized by conflicting reports over whether the wedding decor will include a castle.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s something about being a Swiftie that you can have an experience with other Swifties even if Taylor isn\u2019t there,\u201d said Margaret Brower, who was visiting the venue with her daughter, Angelina. \u201cWe have the shared the love of her music and her life. Taylor believes in energy so we\u2019re sending out that good energy to her.\u201d<\/p>\n
Erik de Schipper and his 17-year-old daughter, Vera Suzanna, said on Friday that they were visiting from the Netherlands and wanted to see the venue even if there was nothing much to actually see.<\/p>\n
\u201cPrivacy-wise, it\u2019s very clever,\u201d de Schipper said of the venue. \u201cAll the fans stay outside. It\u2019s the only way to keep it private.\u201d<\/p>\n
His daughter said Swift had made the right choice after a string of British boyfriends. \u201cI think Travis is genuine,\u201d she said while rejecting that Swift might be less available to her fans once married. \u201cShe deserves it\u201d even if that were the case, Vera said. \u201cShe\u2019s been in the industry for so long she deserves some free time now.\u201d<\/p>\nLori Powers and Cecily Hall.<\/span> Photograph: Edward Helmore\/The Guardian<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe Swift fans who are set up outside Madison Square Garden cut across generations. Lori Powers, 50, and Cecily Hall, from Cold Spring, New York, said they had come into the city \u201cbecause they\u2019d heard a rumor \u2018Taylor and Travis were having a big event today\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe said, \u2018Let\u2019s just go investigate\u2019 \u2013 we love her so much\u2019\u201d, Powers said. Acknowledging she was not as young as many other Swifties, she said, \u201cThere\u2019s one who lives inside of me who has been listening to Taylor for ever. She feels like my younger sister or niece. I feel so happy for her.\u201d<\/p>\n
Asked if there was no better man than Kelce for Swift, Powers thought for a moment in the 101F heat of midtown Manhattan on Friday afternoon and replied: \u201cHe\u2019s not moody. She \u2026 found someone who was like, \u2018Bring it on! You\u2019re the most famous woman in the world and that\u2019s fine. Let\u2019s do this.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
Hall added: \u201cShe shares his energy. She\u2019s on board for everything he does. That\u2019s huge.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
