The date of this year’s most talked-about celebrity wedding may have been mistakenly revealed by New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani.
Since a slip-up in a press conference this week, rumours have spread that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce will say their nuptials at Madison Square Garden over the July 4th weekend.
The couple has both played at the venue, which is home to the reigning NBA champions, the New York Knicks.
The supposedly secret date and venue were revealed on Monday when he discussed the city’s plan for the hectic weekend at the beginning of next month.
On July 5, a World Cup match is being played in neighbouring East Rutherford, New Jersey, and it is set to coincide with a few other “big events” in the city.
Mamdani said, “We are the biggest city in the country. We are used to big events, and we are incredibly excited for this one.
“We know it coincides with July 4, America 250, Taylor Swift’s wedding all happening at the same time.”
Reassuring locals, he also added that he is “fully confident in the work of the NYPD” to provide a “safe experience” over the chaotic three-day weekend.
Moments after making this statement, a reporter asked if he was invited to the Ophelia singer and Kansas City Chiefs’ tight end’s wedding. The journalist said,
“Have you been invited? Are you going?”
Through laughter, he replied, “No and no”. Mamdani quickly followed up with “I wish them a lovely wedding. I’ll listen to ‘Only the Young’ at home on my own.”
Although the Mayor’s comments did not confirm the exact location of the wedding, they confirmed that it will be taking place in the Big Apple.
However, this could just be rumours as it was previously reported that the pop star and football player, both 36, were going to tie the knot on June 13 at Taylor’s $18 million Rhode Island home.
According to UsWeekly, the couple is expecting 150 guests, which will include many of the pair’s famous pals.
The couple announced their engagement in August last year with a joint Instagram post of pictures from the garden proposal with the caption: "Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married."
