Welcome to New York! Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s rumoured wedding weekend is officially underway, and the stars have begun descending on the Big Apple.
True to form, Swift has kept almost every detail of the celebrations under wraps. Rumours have swirled for months about everything from who designed her wedding dress to what a ceremony at Madison Square Garden might actually look like. But perhaps the biggest mystery of all has been the guest list.
Given Swift’s famously sprawling inner circle, it’s hardly surprising reports suggest as many as 1,000 guests have been invited. While the couple are yet to confirm any details, a growing number of Swift’s closest friends, collaborators and family members have been spotted arriving in New York, adding fuel to speculation that the pair are set to tie the knot this weekend.
According to People, guests began arriving at Madison Square Garden from around 6 p.m. for the reported rehearsal dinner. Among those spotted were Lena Dunham, Jack Antonoff, Abigail Anderson, Erin Andrews, Charissa Thompson, Greg Olsen and Aric Jones, all dressed for the occasion.
From lifelong friends and family to Hollywood A-listers and NFL stars, here’s every celebrity spotted in New York ahead of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s rumoured wedding.
Selena Gomez
En route to the reported rehearsal dinner at Madison Square Garden on Thursday, July 2, Selena Gomez wore a strapless black dress, accessorised with Fernando Jorge’s 18k yellow gold Flicker earrings, featuring nearly two carats of pear-cut diamonds, and a matching Flicker ring.
The singer shared an Instagram Stories video applying a Rare Beauty lipstick after posting a sweet photo of herself and husband Benny Blanco.
“i wish benny was here rn 💕,” she wrote over the image, prompting fans to speculate that Blanco may not be attending the wedding festivities.
Jack Antonoff
No Taylor Swift celebration would feel complete without Jack Antonoff. The Grammy-winning producer, who has been one of Swift’s closest collaborators for more than a decade, was spotted arriving in New York ahead of the wedding festivities before later making his way into Madison Square Garden for the reported rehearsal dinner.
He was joined by his sister, fashion designer Rachel Antonoff, who wore a pink feather-trimmed dress paired with matching heels.
Lena Dunham
Actor and writer Lena Dunham was also spotted arriving at Madison Square Garden ahead of the reported rehearsal dinner. Dunham has been friends with Swift for years and is widely considered one of her closest confidantes. People shared footage of her arrival outside the venue.
Gigi Hadid & Bradley Cooper
Longtime friend Gigi Hadid was photographed leaving her New York apartment ahead of the reported rehearsal dinner at Madison Square Garden. She was joined by partner Bradley Cooper, and while he isn’t considered part of Swift’s longstanding inner circle, his appearance has fuelled speculation that he’ll also be attending the wedding celebrations.
Ashley Avignone
One of Swift’s oldest friends, stylist Ashley Avignone, was reportedly spotted travelling with Hadid and Cooper. Avignone has been part of Swift’s inner circle for years and has attended countless milestones throughout the singer’s career.
Donna Kelce
Travis Kelce’s mother, Donna Kelce, has officially arrived in New York ahead of the rumoured ceremony. The beloved NFL matriarch was photographed arriving in NYC on Thursday, with reports suggesting she was heading to the rehearsal dinner before the big day.
Ed Sheeran
Taylor Swift’s longtime friend and collaborator Ed Sheeran appears to already be in New York. Days before the rumoured wedding, the singer was photographed with Aaron Dessner after stopping at a restaurant in upstate New York, leading many fans to believe he’s in town for the celebrations.
Aaron Dessner
Although he hasn’t been officially photographed at any wedding events, Aaron Dessner has also been in New York alongside Ed Sheeran. Given his close friendship and extensive creative partnership with Swift, fans fully expect him to attend.
Sabrina Carpenter
Sabrina Carpenter has also reportedly been spotted dining in New York ahead of the wedding weekend. Carpenter supported Swift throughout the international leg of The Eras Tour and has become one of the singer’s closest industry friends.
Graham Norton
British television host Graham Norton has reportedly arrived in New York as well. Swift previously joked during an appearance on The Graham Norton Show that he would receive a wedding invitation, making his arrival particularly noteworthy.
Phoebe Waller-Bridge
Actor and writer Phoebe Waller-Bridge has also reportedly been seen in New York. The pair have shared dinner together in the past, and Waller-Bridge has become part of Swift’s wider creative circle over recent years.
Suki Waterhouse
Unlike many of the rumoured guests, Suki Waterhouse has effectively confirmed her invitation. Speaking to Variety earlier this year, the singer and actor revealed she would be attending Swift’s wedding, joking that it might inspire plans for her own upcoming nuptials with fiancé Robert Pattinson.
