New York has become the focus of attention in recent days when a series of artists close to Taylor Swift simultaneously appeared.
This event takes place in the context of many reports that the "Love story" singer and rugby star Travis Kelce are preparing for a "super wedding".
Among the faces spotted in New York were Sabrina Carpenter, Ed Sheeran, Aaron Dessner, Jack Antonoff and Camila Cabello.
These are all friends or associates who have been with Taylor Swift for many years.
Sabrina Carpenter was seen dining in the West Village area, near Cornelia Street - a location associated with one of Taylor Swift's famous songs.
Ed Sheeran and producer Aaron Dessner also appeared in Manhattan, while Jack Antonoff and Camila Cabello were both scheduled to work in the city.
Meanwhile, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are also said to have returned to New York. However, both have not yet spoken out about information related to the wedding.
Not only the appearance of potential guests, Madison Square Garden (MSG) also attracted attention as preparations inside the stadium were accelerated in recent days.
Many vehicles carrying equipment continuously entered and exited the area, while the installation of the stage, sound and lighting systems was carried out with high levels of security.
MSG is one of the most popular event venues in the United States, with a capacity of nearly 20,000 people.
The gymnasium is located right above Penn Station - the largest railway hub in the country. This used to be the venue for many music programs, sports events as well as some large-scale weddings.
This location is assessed to well meet security requirements thanks to a system of private walkways, a closed backstage area, a private parking lot and a structure without windows in many functional areas.
These conditions help minimize recording from outside or using drones, suitable for events with the participation of many celebrities.
In parallel with preparations, security measures around MSG are also being strengthened.
This weekend, New York is also hosting many activities on the occasion of US Independence Day, some major sports events and is expected to welcome more tourists than usual, causing pressure on functional forces to increase.
At a recent press conference, New York Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch confirmed that functional forces are closely monitoring an event scheduled to take place at MSG on Friday evening and will arrange personnel at the scene to ensure security.
However, she did not disclose further details about the implementation plan.
