Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s guests have begun to head to Madison Square Garden before the couple's expected wedding celebration kicks off.

Amid the countdown to the highly anticipated nuptials, some famous friends and family of the “Opalite” singer and NFL player, both 36, have been spotted heading to the famous New York City arena.

Swift's frequent collaborator and close friend Jack Antonoff, her childhood friend Abigail Anderson as well as longtime pal Gigi Hadid (with boyfriend Bradley Cooper) were seen on their way, and Dakota Johnson was also photographed en route in a black dress. Mariska Hargitay — who wore a long, black dress — and her husband, Peter Hermann, were also spotted making their way to the venue.

Kelce's New Heights podcast producer Jake Chatzky shared a photograph on his Instagram Stories from the backseat of his ride to MSG.

L.A. Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, sports commentator Charissa Thompson and former NFL cornerback Richard Sherman were spotted leaving their hotel. San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle and his wife Claire (in a black dress) headed over together, with his teammate Kyle Juszczyk and his wife Kristin Juszczyk followed shortly after.

Barbara Corcoran also shared on her Instagram that she was attending the event, giving a behind the scenes look as she got ready for the big day.

On Thursday, July 2, guests were seen arriving at MSG for the couple's rehearsal dinner. The attire for the evening appeared to be right up Swift's alley as guests were spotted in glitzy attire. As for the wedding day's required wardrobe, multiple sources told PEOPLE that the dress code for the Big Apple bash on Friday, July 3, is black tie.

Madison Square Garden has also been a flurry of activity ahead of Swift and Kelce's suspected wedding day. Sources on the ground on July 1 have spotted trucks from production companies at the arena's 33rd Street loading dock. Gear spotted being loaded into the venue included white drapes, massive curtains, audio equipment and two towering pyramid structures. Additionally, portable air conditioners to beat the N.Y.C. heat and three mysterious wooden crates labeled "BRANCHES" were seen.

While rumors swirled recently that a castle was being built inside MSG, PEOPLE confirmed that wasn't true after all. One source who saw the inside of the venue told PEOPLE, "[There's] not a castle but it looks very special. They have grass, carpets, canopies and it looks like a place where you'd get married. There's a stage set up but it's special."

The pop star and the football player announced their engagement on Aug. 26, 2025, after two years of dating, sharing photos on Instagram from Travis’ romantic, flower-filled garden proposal.

In the months since the news broke, the couple's celebrity friends have expressed their excitement about the wedding, and some of them confirmed — or at least hinted — that they would be attending.

Suki Waterhouse, who opened for Swift during an Eras Tour show in London, told Varietyin May thatshe was hoping Swift's wedding would give her some inspiration for her own to Robert Pattinson.

"Nothing scarier than the actual planning part, right?" Waterhouse, 34, said of her wedding. "I'm gonna go to Taylor's wedding, and maybe I'll get some inspiration. It will be amazing."

Travis' coach, Andy Reid, had a playful response when asked if he had received an invite to the tight end's wedding. "Well, I probably have. You know, I probably have," he told Carrington Harrison on The Drive radio show, before joking, "and if I don't outgrow my tuxedo before then,I'm going."

Reid, 68, was later seen picking up his custom suit for the wedding from Peters Clothiers in Kansas City, Mo., per an Instagram Stories post shared by the men's shop on June 25.
