Taylor Swift’s highly anticipated wedding to Travis Kelce is drawing near. By most accounts it’s going down over Independence Day weekend in Manhattan.
TMZ reported on Monday that guests invited to see the pop star and the Pro Bowl tight end will be treated to grub from Swift’s favorite New York City eateries. It’s not clear which restaurants will provide food for the event, though “every menu item” reportedly has to be approved by the 36-year-old bride-to-be.
A flurry of activity taking place outside Madison Square Garden reportedly included lighting equipment being delivered on Monday. TMZ believes the big day will be Friday.

“We know it coincides with July Fourth, America 250, Taylor Swift’s wedding all happening at the same time, and we are so excited to welcome the world here,” he said.
