The "wedding of the century" of pop superstar Taylor Swift and rugby star Travis Kelce is expected to take place this weekend.
To ensure absolute privacy for the event estimated to have more than 1,000 guests, the couple is said to have applied a series of security measures, from high-tech invitations against information leakage to strictly blockading the area around the iconic New York (USA) stadium, Madison Square Garden (MSG).
Although Taylor Swift and her fiancé have not confirmed that Madison Square Garden will be the wedding venue on July 3 as many sources revealed, recently, the appearance of a series of vehicles carrying equipment outside the stadium further convinced the public that this is the wedding venue.
According to records, many service providers are busy preparing for a large-scale event at Madison Square Garden, including a lighting company, a company specializing in installing curtains and stage backdrops, a transportation company and many trucks without signs.
Employees were seen unloading large packages covered with tarpaulins from tractor-trailers. There were also many lifting trucks transporting huge cargo boxes containing unclear items inside.
In addition, there are also some signs that these trucks are related to Taylor Swift, including a label on the discharged device with the words "return to Nashville" - where the female singer's tour team is headquartered.
Above the trailer doors, there are also signs believed to refer to the stage equipment transportation system developed by TAIT Towers. This system has been used in many major tours, including Taylor Swift's The Eras Tour.
The media also discovered a box of equipment printed with the words "40-inch mirror ball" (40-inch mirror ball). Many people think this is a hint to the song "Mirrorball", Taylor Swift's hit released in 2020.
In an interview, Taylor once revealed that "Mirrorball" is one of the very few songs from the album "Folklore" she co-wrote with Jack Antonoff, and also one of the songs she loves and is most proud of in her career.
The entire cargo handling area has been surrounded by metal security fences. At the same time, "no parking" signs have also been erected, announcing that the area around Madison Square Garden will be restricted from June 20 to July 4.
Some workers at the scene said that they were not informed about the customer's identity but they were preparing for the event.
Earlier this month, Mayor Zohran Mamdani of New York City unintentionally revealed an important clue when talking about security for the FIFA World Cup 2026.
He mentioned that the World Cup matches will take place at the same time as the journey of the New York Knicks team in the NBA final, US Independence Day July 4, the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States and Taylor Swift's wedding.
After this statement, the New York City Hall confirmed that it had submitted a permit application to the Street Operations Licensing Office for the days from July 2 to July 4. The application requested the blockade of roads around the Madison Square Garden stadium and the erection of an outdoor tent sufficient to hold 999 people.
