Fresh reports suggest a major celebration linked to one of entertainment’s most talked-about couples was relocated after details of the original venue became known, fuelling further speculation about their current wedding party plans.
Taylor Swift reportedly didn’t want Madison Square Garden as her first choice for a wedding after-party destination for her and Travis Kelce.
The singer, 36, who has been dating NFL star Travis for almost three years, has been widely reported to have had a secret plan to celebrate getting hitched at the iconic New York venue.
But as rumours grow the pair are on the verge of getting married after a flurry of activity was spotted at Taylor’s home in Rhode Island TMZ is reporting the original plan was to hold her and Travis’ wedding reception at the same mansion in Rhode Island.
The outlet said sources say the couple “locked in a date” for the party of June 13 and had planned a “big ol’ fireworks show was planned as part of the reception”.
It is now reporting in mid-May, the fireworks company handling the show got word the event was cancelled and had been moved to New York.
TMA added: “As for why, we’re told the couple bailed after word got out about the venue.”
It states Madison Square Garden is now the place where Taylor and Travis will “host a huge shindig” celebrating their wedding on 3 July “for a gaggle of friends and family”.
TMA also said: “It’s looking increasingly likely the nuptials will not take place at the Garden, but somewhere more intimate.”
The report comes after the outlet published photos showing a mass of activity at Taylor’s massive Rhode Island seaside mansion.
A TikToker shot video on Wednesday (17.06.26) of four women on a rooftop balcony of Taylor’s home, three of whom were wearing black robes and a fourth dressed in white.
Page Six reported a woman who appeared to be Taylor’s best friend, Abigail Anderson Berard, was also on the balcony carrying a toddler.
Abigail has a child who will turn 2 in August.
An eyewitness who lives in the area told TMZ the lights at Taylor’s mansion are typically off, but were still on by Wednesday night.
There was also a massive security presence seen at the mansion, with an eyewitness telling TMZ they “saw a security detail in the driveway as the gate opened and an SUV with tinted windows left the property”.
The source added an armed guard stood by the gate until it closed.
The eyewitness also says he saw two more armed minders with “huge binoculars” surveying the beach area around Taylor’s home.
TMZ stressed the Madison Square Garden celebration was scheduled for 3 July and said there was the “feeling” Taylor and Travis’ wedding “might take place before that”.
The report comes after Travis was spotted out on a boys’ night on Wednesday in West Hollywood, prompting speculation it may have been his bachelor party.
