Reports emerged that global pop star Taylor Swift and NFL player Travis Kelsh are preparing for a lavish wedding estimated at hundreds of billions of won.

TMZ reported that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsh will hold their wedding on July 3 (local time) at Madison Square Garden (MSG).

Guests are expected to number between 1,100 and 1,200. TMZ stated, "The two have made significant efforts to protect their privacy, opting to send direct text messages instead of formal wedding invitations."

Madison Square Garden is the home stadium of the NBA's New York Knicks and the NHL's New York Rangers, as well as a New York landmark hosting performances by world-renowned artists. The couple's choice of Madison Square Garden as their wedding venue is also understood to be a decision made with thorough security considerations.

The venue has no windows that allow paparazzi to photograph the interior and features an underground parking lot, enabling free entry and exit for guests. It is also reported that a comprehensive security plan has been established, with cooperation between the New York Police Department and private security firms to control surrounding roads.

According to the New York Post, one wedding planner stated, "This is not simply renting a space for a wedding. It includes not only the costs for exclusivity, staff, security, and operations, but also the opportunity cost of preventing other concerts or sporting events from being held at the venue." The planner added, "Considering all aspects, this wedding will be an event with a budget of $20 million (approximately 30.5 billion won)."

Meanwhile, in September 2023, Taylor Swift's relationship with Travis Kelsh, who plays for the NFL's Kansas City Chiefs, was revealed when she appeared at a Chiefs game.

Taylor Swift had previously stated, "By the time I went to my first game, we were already in a relationship." Notably, after the Kansas City Chiefs won the Super Bowl last year, the couple shared a tender kiss at the stadium. Following this, the two officially announced their engagement in August last year.
