Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding celebrations are officially underway, with a number of famous guests spotted arriving at Madison Square Garden on Thursday, July 2.
The New York City venue is believed to have hosted the couple’s rehearsal dinner, marking the start of a multi-day wedding event.
Guests began arriving around 6 p.m., with Lena Dunham, Jack Antonoff, Abigail Anderson, Erin Andrews, Charissa Thompson, Greg Olsen and Aric Jones among those seen entering the arena.
Several attendees wore sequined dresses and jewel-toned outfits for the evening celebration.
Antonoff arrived in a suit alongside his sister, fashion designer Rachel Antonoff, who wore a pink feathered dress with matching heels.
Swift and Antonoff have worked closely together since 2013, with the producer helping create songs across several of her albums, including Folklore and Midnights. Dunham, Antonoff’s former girlfriend, has also been a longtime friend of Swift.
Jones has known Kelce since childhood, with the two growing up together in Cleveland Heights, Ohio.
Olsen, meanwhile, previously joked about securing an invitation while appearing on Travis and Jason Kelce’s New Heights podcast.
The retired NFL player said his presence would help make any wedding memorable, claiming he would bring “great energy,” camaraderie and unforgettable moments.
Ahead of the celebrations, sources said Madison Square Garden had been completely transformed for the expected wedding festivities.
Workers were spotted unloading equipment, grass and decorations outside the venue on Monday, June 29. Boxes marked “Garden Party” and “Mirror Ball” were also reportedly seen nearby.
One source claimed they had never seen the arena look so different.
The New York Times previously reported that Swift had rented Madison Square Garden for a multi-day event. A City Hall representative later confirmed that a permit had been filed to close streets surrounding the venue.
The reported plans included a smaller gathering of approximately 100 guests on July 2, followed by a larger celebration for nearly 1,000 attendees on July 3.
Swift and Kelce also reportedly donated $26 million to several organizations ahead of their wedding celebrations.
