Overview
- Multiple outlets report the couple is holding a rehearsal dinner at Madison Square Garden on Thursday and a larger ceremony and reception for about 1,000 guests on Friday, with guests arriving in the afternoon and a ceremony timing reported around 5:30 p.m.
- Visible preparations this week at MSG have included heavy deliveries, draperies, large staging elements and reports of an interior 'castle,' and the arena has permits to close nearby streets from July 2 to July 4 for setup and teardown.
- Media say guests have been asked to sign non‑disclosure agreements and that phones will be banned inside the venue, while a strengthened security presence and observed National Guard and police activity reflect elevated privacy and safety measures.
- Named performers have been reported by entertainment outlets, with Page Six and others citing Stevie Nicks and Tim McGraw and additional reports mentioning Ed Sheeran and Paul McCartney, though no performer list has been officially confirmed.
- The couple and their representatives have not publicly confirmed the wedding, but Tree Paine, Taylor Swift’s spokesperson, announced $26 million in charitable donations this week that sources link to the couple and that have been publicized alongside the coverage.
