Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are kicking off their wedding weekend with a rehearsal dinner that is just as star-studded as the reception itself.
The pop superstar and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, both 36, have an impressive mix of family members, longtime friends, teammates and celebrity guests ahead of their Madison Square Garden bash on Friday.
In addition to immediate family members, the exclusive guest list includes Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper, Jack Antonoff and his sister, Swift’s longtime publicist, Tree Paine, her childhood best friend, Abigail Anderson, along with sports reporter Erin Andrews and her husband, former NHL player Jarret Stoll.
Travis’s manager, Amanda Santa and her husband, and his longtime friend, Reggie “Regrunt” King are also gathering at the Infosys Theater inside the iconic arena for the rehearsal dinner, which will run from 6 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. on Thursday evening.
Some of the rehearsal dinner guests departed an upscale midtown manhattan hotel at around 5:30 p.m. for MSG, as black SUVs were lined up outside to pick them up.
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford and his wife, Kelly, were seen chatting with Andrews, Stoll and others at the hotel bar, but did not join them for the rehearsal dinner.
The guests were dressed in glam attire.
On their wedding day, over 1,000 guests are expected to attend. The reception kicks off at 6:30 p.m. and is expected to end at 2:00 a.m.
Doors open for guests at 3:30 p.m., with cocktail hour beginning at 4 p.m. on the sixth-floor concourse. The ceremony will then start at 5:30 p.m. on the arena floor.
TMZ reported last month that guests attending the pair’s star-studded wedding have been asked to sign NDAs as part of extensive efforts to keep details of the celebration private.
“Their closest friends and family haven’t been asked to sign NDAs,” the insider said. “Protecting their privacy is just something everyone in their inner circle has always naturally done.”
“Nobody wants to be the reason details leak,” the source continued. “The people in their inner circle have gone out of their way to protect them. Some even offered to sign NDAs simply to give Taylor and Travis extra peace of mind.”
Meanwhile, a possible nod to one of Swift’s songs added to the buzz outside the iconic Midtown venue Monday.
Staffers were seen unloading large items wrapped up in tarps off of parked semi-trailer trucks. There were also forklifts seen moving massive trunks filled with unknown inventory.
The Grammy winner and the Super Bowl champ revealed their engagement in August 2025 with a playful Instagram post that read, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.” They ended the caption with a dynamite emoji, seemingly referencing their “TNT” nickname.
The lovebird’s engagement came after nearly two whirlwind years together.
Swift was first spotted cheering Kelce on at a Kansas City Chiefs game in September 2023, and the pair went public with their relationship soon after.
