Swift, known for dropping hints to bigger plans in everything from her wardrobe, music and tours, has kept mum about her upcoming nuptials, but that has not stopped the world from speculating. Building on tabloid fodder, the New York Times last week reported that permits had been requested for a large event at Madison Square Garden (MSG) in early July that will shut down the busy Manhattan area for blocks. Prediction markets have further fanned the flames, with more than $2m (£1.5m) being bet on where the two will tie the knot.
Here is everything we do - and don't - know about the possible celebrations. Image source, @taylorswiftWill Swift and Kelce get married at Madison Square Garden?The short answer: maybe. City officials confirmed to the BBC that someone applied for a street closure permit near the arena over the 4 July Independence Day weekend.
Dora Pekec, a spokesperson for the New York City mayor's office, told the BBC a permit was filed in early June to close roads around arena from 2 to 4 July. The New York Times (NYT) first reported the news and that several players on Kelce's Kansas City Chiefs American football team had booked hotel rooms nearby.
