Members of the couple’s inner circle gathered around New York City ahead of what is believed to be Swift and Kelsea’s rehearsal dinner at MSG on July 2nd.

Page Six shared a photo of Gigi Hadid, Bradley Cooper, and Ashley Avignone allegedly in a car leaving Hadid’s mansion.
Donna Kelce arrives in New York City: Report
The NFL star’s mother, Donna Kelce, arrived in New York City ahead of the rumored ceremony, People reported.
According to People magazine, Swift’s soon-to-be mother-in-law, 73, arrived in the city on Thursday, July 2, amid reports that a wedding rehearsal dinner would be held later that night.
That list also includes Swift’s longtime friend Ed Sheeran, who is apparently already in New York. On June 30, an upstate New York restaurant owner shared a photo of the “Shape of You” singer and said he stopped by with Aaron Dessner, another of Swift’s musical collaborators.
Swift’s friend and collaborator Sabrina Carpenter was also reportedly spotted heading out to a restaurant in New York City ahead of the wedding, according to a video shared with X.
Additionally, talk show host Graham Norton and Fleabag star Phoebe Waller-Bridge were also spotted arriving in New York, according to the BBC. Waller-Bridge has dined with Swift in the past, and when Swift was a guest on The Graham Norton Show last year, he promised the talk show host an invitation to their wedding. “I was going to invite you to it,” she told Norton, who also appeared in the music video for “Opalite.”
Swift’s close friends Selena Gomez and the Haim sisters are also almost certainly expected to attend the wedding. Outside of these safe bets, several stars have clearly confirmed they’re going.
Stars announced they will attend Swift and Kelce’s wedding
Swift’s friend Suki Waterhouse told Variety in May that she was “going to Taylor’s wedding” and that it might inspire her own. Waterhouse, who is engaged to Robert Pattinson, was photographed in New York this week.
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle also said he earned an invitation. “I’m wearing a blue suit,” he recently told Entertainment Tonight, revealing to ExtraTV that the couple told guests “no gifts at all.”
Swift has previously revealed that she won’t be very selective when it comes to her wedding guest list.
In a 2025 appearance on The Graham Norton Show, the Life of a Showgirls singer said wedding planning would be fun. That’s because “the only stressful weddings are those with fewer guests and people in a bubble where you have to evaluate your relationships with them and see if you should attend.”
“I’m not going to do that,” she joked, adding that “everyone I’ve talked to” has been invited.
