"Why did billionaire Taylor Swift get married in a gym?" Even on-site police officers said, "I can't believe it..." Is the Madison Square Garden wedding rumor real?

New York's Madison Square Garden (MSG), a likely venue for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsh's wedding, has even the police officers guarding the area reacting with disbelief.

On the 26th, U.S. media outlet CNN reported that when it asked 12 New York police officers working around MSG, they all expressed skepticism.

"She's a glamorous woman. I don't think she would get married here," said one police officer guarding the front of MSG. Three security personnel and two Amtrak police officers shared the same sentiment. "We received no instructions to prepare for a wedding," they said. An officer near nearby Penn Station retorted, "Isn't this just a rumor? Why would they get married here of all places?"

Their bewilderment is certainly understandable. Amazon founder Jeff Bezos rented all of Venice to marry Lauren Sanchez, and Dua Lipa held her wedding march in Sicily. For a billionaire pop star's wedding venue, MSG seems out of place. It is a massive sports stadium in the middle of Manhattan's hanbok district, a floor soaked with the sweat and tears of hundreds of athletes and fans, and a hotdog scent wafting from somewhere — all far removed from a romantic wedding.

However, circumstantial evidence continues to pile up. According to The New York Times, MSG is preparing for a major event by clearing its schedule for the 2nd–4. Event planning company Vynic Production has applied to the New York City Department of Transportation for permission to install external tents outside MSG, and road closures around MSG are also planned. TMZ, citing multiple sources, reported that 1,100 to 1,200 guests were invited and that contact was made privately via text message instead of formal invitations. New York City Mayor Zoran Mamdani also mentioned in a city briefing, "Expect New York to host Taylor Swift's wedding, the Knicks' championship, and the 250th anniversary of American independence all at once."

Even the skeptical NYPD officers have recently undergone a change. According to Variety, police authorities have received an internal warning to prepare for the massive gathering of Swifties (Taylor Swift fans) at MSG that the July 3 wedding will bring. With the festive atmosphere from the Knicks' championship still lingering and World Cup tourists flooding in, MSG staff are already exhausted. One security personnel sighed to CNN, "If it's Taylor Swift's wedding, it's going to be huge. We're already worn out."

Opinions among fans also differ. Some react, "Taylor values her privacy; I don't think she would get married in such a public place," while others argue that MSG is the best choice. It has no windows, making external filming impossible, and guests can enter and exit discreetly through the underground parking lot.

A conspiracy theory is also spreading: "MSG is just a decoy; the actual wedding is held elsewhere, and they only party here." George Kittle, an NFL star and one of the wedding guests, said, "I asked Kelsh directly, and he just smiled. Guests still haven't been notified of any details." Perhaps all these rumors are part of a meticulous smokescreen to hide the true venue.

The couple, who announced their engagement last August, is reportedly planning to marry on July 22 before Kelsh's NFL training camp begins. MSG has not issued an official statement. The true wedding venue is expected to be revealed on July 3.
