Attention both Swifties and NFL fans—the royal wedding is very nearly upon us.
If the reports are to be believed, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce will be tying the knot at Madison Square Garden this weekend, with a rehearsal dinner on July 3 and a reportedly 10-hour celebration following on July 3.

Taylor and Travis: A brief history
How do we tell the story of these two lovebirds without giving away answers to our quiz? Let's see …
The fairytale began back in July 2023, when Swift performed two nights of her record-breaking Eras Tour in Kansas City. Kelce was somewhere in the crowd, and apparently angling to meet TayTay after the show. That, of course, did not happen. So, a few weeks later, Trav grabbed the biggest mic available to him—that of his podcast New Heights—and very publicly shot his shot heard ’round the world.
After some behind-the-scenes maneuvering from people like Andrea Swift, Taylor's mother, and Erin Andrews, the Fox broadcaster, Swift and Kelce began to privately date. In September, they took their courtship public when Swift appeared in Kelce's box at a September NFL game and broke the internet. Despite the incongruity of their schedules—how do you solve a problem like a professional football player in the middle of his season and a musician in the middle of a worldwide tour?—the pair have continued to make it work (and surely with the help of Swift’s private jet).
In August 2025, Swift made her podcast debut when she appeared on Kelce's New Heights to announce her new album. Later that same month, the pair got engaged.
Now, almost three years to the day from that fateful Kansas City night at the Eras Tour, the pair will become husband and wife. We're not crying, you're crying.
