Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding at Madison Square Garden might come with a jaw-dropping price tag. As per CNN, luxury wedding planner JoAnn Gregoli estimates that transforming the arena for the couple's big day could cost anywhere from $25 million to $100 million, calling it a "herculean task.”

Gregoli said extensive draping, lighting, video mapping and even a possible fairytale garden facade could all add up to a massive bill for the long-awaited celebration.

"You don't want people to walk in there and think that they're in any type of arena at all. So, this means hiding seats, transforming bathrooms, hallways, walkways. It is going to take a tremendous amount of draping and foliage and florals to really turn this into something that it's not,” Gregoli told CNN.

Dolly Parton has a big thank you for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce as the couple donated a whopping $2 million to Parton's Imagination Library foundation and the ‘I Will Always Love You’ singer couldn't hold back her gratitude.

“I was told that you two are making a donation of $2 million to my Imagination Library. Thank you, thank you, thank you!," she posted a video on her Instagram.

The 80-year-old, who founded her nonprofit in 1995, added, "I'm blown away and overjoyed with that gratitude.”

She then added a playful line about the couple's future family, joking, "It's evident that you two have made giving back a key part of your lives, so hey, when you have your first born can I have it? Because that is going to be one special baby.”

From a friendship bracelet to forever, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's love story has come full circle. Their much-awaited wedding celebration at Madison Square Garden is taking place today.

The couple announced their engagement last year with a playful Instagram caption that read, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.”

Swift and Kelce's love story began in 2023 after the Kansas City Chiefs star attended one of her concerts and tried to give her a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it. A few months later, in September 2023, they made their relationship public when Swift was spotted cheering Kelce on at a Kansas City Chiefs game, as per CNN.

There is no livestream or TV broadcast planned for the big day. The heavy security, curtains, tents and tunnels around Madison Square Garden make it clear that only guests with an invite will get to see the event. A sign outside the arena even mentions an “Event” happening from June 29 to July 3, with photography and videography “in and around MSG,” as per USA Today.

The sign also says anyone entering the venue agrees to “strict confidentiality with respect to the Event and all activities leading up to, during and after the Event period.”

It looks like Swift and Kelce may be recording their wedding to share on their own terms later, rather than allowing a live broadcast.

According to AP, the main ceremony is scheduled to begin at 5 p.m. ET on Friday at New York's Madison Square Garden, followed by a reception expected to continue until 2 a.m.

The secrecy surrounding the event has become almost as newsworthy as the wedding itself.

Variety reported that many invited guests have received very little information ahead of the ceremony. Some were reportedly instructed simply to be in New York City on July 3 and await further directions.

Last year, Travis Kelce insisted he and Swift are “absolutely happy” together in an episode of Jason Kelce’s ‘New Heights’ podcast. “You know it’s real. And you know that me and Tay are absolutely happy, and I appreciate you always making sure everybody knows that,” he told Niecy Nash, who was being interviewed during the interview.

Insiders revealed that the pop star is working on a “top secret” project after taking some time off to be with Travis Kelce, her boyfriend.

The singer and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end are believed to officially be Mr and Mrs Kelce after saying “I do” in private. The couple will still throw a huge party for more than 1,000 friends and family at MSG on Friday, after a rehearsal dinner for 100 people on Thursday.

But sources say they have already exchanged vows in front of a small group of loved ones. “They are already married,” one source in the know insisted, as per Page Six. A well-placed music insider based in Nashville said the city is abuzz that the couple, both 36, “already got legally married.”

Taylor and Travis's wedding is undoubtedly one of the biggest events of the year. While no has given out a confirmed number, the couple is expected to doll out $15 million to $20 million as part of the festivities, estimating the huge set up and a guest list of almost 1000 people, according to luxury wedding planners, reported CNN Business.

While not many celebrities have confirmed their presence in the Taylor-Travis wedding, Taylor’s best friend Selena Gomez, frequent collaborator Jack Antonoff will reportedly be present at the wedding. Speculations around performers Stevie Nicks and Tim McGraw are also floating.

Travis Kelce is full of praise for the singer for being so hardworking, especially because he has seen what goes on behind the scenes in doing those massive stage shows in front of thousands of fans during the Eras Tour.

In an interview with GQ in 2025, Travis said, "I hadn’t experienced somebody in the same shoes as me, having a partner who understands the scrutiny, understands the ups and downs of being in front of millions. That was very relatable, seeing how exhausted she would get after shows. She may not think of herself as an athlete. She will never tell anyone that she is an athlete. But I’ve seen what she goes through. I’ve seen the amount of work that she puts on her body, and it’s mind-blowing.”
