The past hour has been a lot of black SUVs and buses showing up. Guests have been talking to NYPD as they make their way down 31st st and exiting under the white privacy tents.

HELLO! has been told to vacate West 31st Street because NYPD is “clearing out because we’re freezing this area".

Freezing the area is a security tactic to establish a strict, controlled perimeter with heavily restriced access.

And it appears Taylor has also arrived at MSG. 

Footage shot by HELLO! reveals her silver Chevrolet Suburban, which earlier in the day was seen exiting her TriBeca apartment, arriving at the arena.

Mama Kelce has arrived in New York City!

The mom of Travis, and brother Jason, was pictured arriving in to the city by Backgrid, although she refused to answer any questions about this weekend's plans.

She reportedly hopped straight in a car and went directly to Madiso Sqaure Garden to check on the proceedings.

Reports have suggested that New York's Marriott Marquis will be home base for Kansas City Chiefs players but HELLO! can also confirm that this weekend it will be home for the US Navy as America250 Naval events are also taking place in the city mthis weekend.

"Here for America," said one sailor!

While both parties are incredibly wealthy, Forbes has Taylor's estimated net worth north of $2.1 billion, while Travis' net net worth sits at around $90 million.

Taylor's fortune continues to grow at an extraordinary pace, making it understandable that she would want to protect her assets. A prenuptial agreement can also address future royalties and intellectual property, meaning her legal team would likely advise putting an agreement in place. However, Taylor has not publicly commented on the matter.

HELLO!'s LA correspondent Rebecca Lewis is the world's biggest Swiftie. She has answered all our burning questions about the singer's upcoming nuptials in an exclusive Q&A.

A source gave People an insight into the setup occurring at Madison Square Garden. "They have grass, carpets and canopies, and it looks like a place where you'd get married. There's a stage set up, but it's special," they reported

On July 1, another source told People that the area had been "transformed" after staff prepared the area through the night.  "I've never seen it look so different," they reported.

At a press conference on July 1, mayor Zohran Mamdani alluded to Taylor and Travis' wedding. “We are fully prepared, there isn’t anything to share beyond that," they shared.

In a post on social media offering advice about coping in heatwave, the mayor told people to stay cool, "especially if you're (hypothetically) having your wedding at MSG this weekend".

New York Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch also addressed the event on July 1. "I would be remiss not to mention an event that we are tracking at Madison Square Garden on Friday night. The NYPD will, of course, have a detail in place, but I am not going to go into more specifics on that at this time," she shared.

Travis' brother, Jason Kelce, admitted in 2025 that he was "hoping" to be his brother’s best man. However, he shared that he was uncertain whether Travis will ask him because the groom has more than enough friends to choose from. "Hopefully, I'm the best man. We'll see," Jason said on the Bussin’ with the Boys podcast, before adding: "Trav has a lot of friends, I'm just hoping to get the opportunity."

Travis’s childhood friend, the clothing-brand founder Aric Jones, is thought to have a role in the wedding, alongside Travis's Chiefs teammate Patrick Mahomes and former teammate Ross Travis.

A video shared by Deuxmoi on June 30 showed the steps to the Madison Square Garden VIP entrance being covered with a striking red carpet.

Donna Kelce previously shared an insight into her son's upcoming wedding to Taylor. The 73-year-old opened up to TMZ about what she expected from her mother-son dance with the NFL star on the big day.

"It should be interesting for sure," Donna replied when asked about the dance. While the matriarch didn't share which song the pair had chosen, she did reveal the tune she danced to with her eldest son, Jason Kelce, at his wedding in 2018.

"I think with Jason's I danced to Love Shack with the B-52's," she shared. "So, we will see what I can muster."

According to an earlier Daily Mail report, the couple's invites were sent with a non-disclosure agreement (NDA), which was required to be signed when guests sent back their RSVP.   

Graham Norton previously joked that he had signed "so many NDAs" to attend the couple's nuptials. However, he later clarified his comments, saying he has not signed an NDA. "I said that as a joke on the podcast. I said, 'Oh, I've signed all these NDAs,' and then it started getting reported as a serious thing in America. I didn't say [to] cut that out because I thought it was so obviously a joke."

Travis' mom, Donna Kelce, also addressed the speculation that she was asked by Taylor and Travis to sign a non-disclosure agreement ahead of the nuptials. "No, no," she said. "They know I can keep a secret."

Graham Norton touched down in NYC ahead of Taylor's big day. While appearing on Graham's eponymous talk show last year, the singer was asked by the host when the wedding would be. Oh, you'll know. I was going to invite you to it," she said.

With Travis expected to return to Chiefs training camp in late July, the couple may have only a brief window to enjoy their honeymoon before their demanding schedules resume.

Over the years, they have escaped to some of the world's most luxurious destinations, including Lake Como in Italy, a $15,000-a-night resort in the Bahamas, and skiing trips to Montana and Utah.

Taylor and Travis are reportedly having a massive castle built for their wedding décor. Riggers were spotted draping fabric and moving structures outside the venue. According to Page Six, while décor was being unloaded at the venue, a black garbage bag slipped open, revealing two white bannisters believed to be part of the wedding's castle-inspired setup.

Travis Kelce’s longtime stylist, Danielle Salzedo, has touched down in New York City ahead of the wedding. On July 1, the stylist shared an Instagram story of her car driving into the city, set to RÜFÜS DU SOL’s track "New York".

Danielle previously told Us Weekly that Travis has "a clear vision for his personal aesthetic and definitely styles himself."

"I know what he likes, and I find him options with brands we know are his vibe — while also looking for new ones yet to be discovered," she said. Travis' wardrobe boasts the seams of  Louis Vuitton, Fear of God, Christian Dior, Bottega Veneta, Tom Ford, Thom Browne, Marni and Kid Super.

British designer Stella McCartney is not only one of the singer's closest friends but also tops the list of designers tipped to create her wedding dress for the big day. Or it may be designed  by Donatella Versace, who created multiple crystal-embroidered looks for the Eras Tour. Taylor wore a blue floral Ralph Lauren dress during her engagement, so the American designer is thought to  be a strong contender. Jonathan Anderson from Dior is also a likely choice.
