According to the outlet, guests received invitations to a watercolor sunset painted by Swift herself.
The invitations identified Manhattan as the location and listed July 3 as the wedding date, with the ceremony scheduled for the evening. The couple signed their message, “Love from Taylor and Travis.”
The report said guests began arriving at Madison Square Garden around 2:30 p.m., with varying arrival times scheduled depending on their relationship with the couple.
Model Cara Delevingne reportedly arrived at 2:30 p.m., while Swift’s longtime friend Abigail Anderson was scheduled to enter at 4:30 p.m.
Guests also had to follow a strict policy banning phones and other electronic devices.
According to the outlet, the ban has been extended to smartwatches and Meta Glasses. Attendees presented personal QR access code and identification before entering the venue.
Safety measures were put in place when temperatures reached 100 degrees in New York City during the July 4 holiday weekend.
The couple also held a small rehearsal dinner on July 2 for about 100 guests.
Wedding decorations include a special logo and childhood photos
The Daily Mail reported that guests entered Madison Square Garden via stairs covered with coral velvet carpet.
White and coral curtains stretched across the walls, while black-clad attendees were guided through the entrance hall through the entrance hall.
At the top of the staircase, guests encountered a large wedding symbol featuring two T’s connected by two hearts.

Wedding design renderings obtained by the Daily Mail showed plans for a setting inspired by “Alice in Wonderland” and “The Wizard of Oz.”

The decorations echoed the floral setting that Kelsey arranged when he proposed to Swift in August 2025.
For that occasion, Kelce transformed her backyard in Leawood, Kansas, using more than 2,000 flowers and nearly 800 pounds of greenery.
The arrangement reportedly included roses, peonies, hydrangeas and lilies.
