While the world's attention is on Madison Square Garden in anticipation of the rumored July 3 wedding of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, TMZ now reports the wedding is still happening—but the location is reportedly "a decoy."
In an exclusive interview Wednesday with celebrity memorabilia collector Anthony Jabin, who met Swift at Super Bowl LIX and is reportedly the guest of someone invited to the wedding, Jabin claims the wedding is on, but the venue isn't what everyone thinks.
Risking serious nondisclosure agreements—not to mention landing himself on the uninvited list—Jabin told TMZ's Harvey Levin and co-host Charles Latibeaudiere that Swift and Kelce's ceremony and celebration will take place on the same day but not at the same location. While careful not to reveal too much, Jabin suggested the famed couple is using Madison Square Garden as a decoy for where they actually plan to exchange vows.
Fans Aren't Convinced by the Latest Wedding Theory
TMZ followers were skeptical as they rushed to the comments to react to Jabin's interview.
“I’m doubtful she would invite someone she randomly met at a Super Bowl to her wedding,” shared one cynical fan.
Another added, “You'll be surprised when he's wrong. And he probably is not invited. If he was he'll probably get uninvited.”
Others had advice for Jabin, writing, “Just keep your mouth shut dude!!! Ever heard of "no comment"?”

New Taylor Swift Wedding Rumors Continue to Spread

Fan theories have quickly spread across social media, with some speculating that Swift isn't getting married on Friday at all. Instead, they believe she could be using the attention to announce her own record label.
“This is a girl who wrote love songs with a quill,” quipped one TikTok user. “She’s not getting married on a basketball court.”
Since announcing their engagement on Aug. 26, 2025, speculation over when and where Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce will marry has become one of the most closely followed celebrity stories online. Leading into the July 4 weekend, rumors have intensified that the couple plans to wed at New York's Madison Square Garden, in part because the iconic venue could better accommodate the security and privacy demands of a celebrity wedding.
Speculation Surrounding Madison Square Garden Continues
Even so, many fans believe it's unlikely the high-profile couple will actually marry in the heart of New York City.
As the NYPD maintains a presence around the famous arena and deliveries—including lobster and what observers described as a castle set—have reportedly arrived at Madison Square Garden, Swifties and celebrity reporters have remained focused on the venue, hoping to catch a glimpse of the couple and their famous guests.
Rumored attendees include San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle, Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid, supermodel Gigi Hadid, and Swift's longtime friend Selena Gomez. Fleetwood Mac legend Stevie Nicks has also been rumored as a possible performer.
But knowing Swift and her penchant for Easter eggs, fans expect that whenever the real wedding details are finally revealed, they'll arrive with the same carefully orchestrated flair that has defined her career.
Until then, fans will simply have to wait.
