The wedding of singer Taylor Swift and football star Travis Kelce is one of Hollywood's most noticed weddings this year.
Some international sources said that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are expected to hold their wedding ceremony on July 3 at the Madison Square Garden multi-purpose gymnasium (Manhattan, New York, USA).
According to TMZ, Madison Square Garden has a rental price of 1 million USD per day. To serve the set-up, wedding organization and post-event cleaning, the couple is said to have rented for at least 3 days, meaning the minimum location rent is about 3 million USD.
Wedding event organizer Sonal Shah predicts that this lavish wedding could cost up to 20 million USD (about 526 billion VND).
Sonal Shah analyzed that the cost not only includes land rent but also exclusion rights, personnel, security upgrades and revenue that the venue must give up when no other sports or performance events are held during that time.
When adding production, decoration and reception costs, the total budget of a wedding at Madison Square Garden is estimated to reach from 10 to 20 million USD.
Taylor Swift has repeatedly held sold-out concerts at Madison Square Garden in recent years, but the Grammy-winning artist is said not to receive any rental discounts, because this is a publicly listed company and must ensure benefits for shareholders.
Currently, the Madison Square Garden public event schedule for the period from June 29 to July 6 has been left blank.
Choosing a large gymnasium right in the city center as a wedding venue stems from security and safety needs. Madison Square Garden has a strict security system and many discreet entrances.
Sources said that with a large enough budget, turning a gymnasium into a private and luxurious wedding venue is completely feasible.
To minimize information leakage, the "Love story" singer is said to have not sent traditional paper invitations but directly called each guest.
Sources also revealed that about 1,100 - 1,200 people will attend the wedding to witness the couple officially become husband and wife.
The guest list is predicted to include Taylor Swift's close friends such as Karlie Kloss, Gigi Hadid, Selena Gomez or Zoë Kravitz, Emma Stone.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce started dating in the summer of 2023. In August 2025, when celebrating 2 years together, Travis successfully proposed to Taylor.
