taylor swift i Travis KelceThe wedding is scheduled to begin at 5 p.m. Friday at Madison Square Garden in New York and could last until 4 a.m. the next day, according to a copy of a city permit obtained by The Associated Press.The request, for a “special event at MSG,” was approved Wednesday night by the New York City Permits Office, according to a spokesman for Mayor Zohran Mamdani.Multiple people familiar with the plans have confirmed to the AP that the app is tied to the wedding of the superstar singer and soccer player.The people spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the events publicly.The permit shows 100 guests will begin arriving at Madison Square Garden at 6:30 p.m. Thursday for a “pre-party celebration,” which officials described as an intimate rehearsal dinner.A full street closure will be in effect near the Manhattan arena overnight as crews erect multiple entrances and tents, according to the permit.The “main event” starts at 5pm on Friday and can go on until 4am the following morning. Records show Friday’s largest event can host up to 1,000 people.Frantic speculation surrounding the wedding has been building for weeks, intensifying in recent days as crews have been seen unloading equipment from trucks, including a large carpet.The couple has not yet confirmed any details surrounding the festivities. A representative for Swift did not respond to multiple inquiries, including Thursday.Meanwhile, city officials have acknowledged they are preparing for a large-scale event at Madison Square Garden that will require an extra police presence during a particularly busy weekend.But both Mamdani and his police commissioner have repeatedly refused to discuss the nature of the event — angering some nearby businessmen and raising questions about the use of public resources to cover private security.“In my opinion, this is ridiculous,” said Michael O’Brien, co-owner of O’Briens Bar and Grill, which is across the street from Madison Square Garden.He said he was concerned about losing business because of the pending street closures, which had not yet been publicly announced by the police department as of Thursday afternoon.“If they can afford to buy the permits,” O’Brien continued, “they can afford this big lavish ceremony, why don’t they buy the local businesses instead of having us negatively affected?”
