EVENT staff were seen rolling out a pink carpet at Madison Square Garden ahead of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s rumored wedding celebrations.
The A-list couple are reportedly tying the knot this week and hosting a lavish multi-day bash, with a huge event at the iconic New York City venue.
Reports suggest 1,000 people have been invited to the festivities from July 2 to July 4, including an intimate 100-person gathering.
Photos and video footage obtained exclusively by The U.S. Sun show the hustle and bustle had already begun outside of MSG in the sweltering summer heat.
On Tuesday afternoon, a team of construction workers were seen rolling out a salmon-pink carpet down a series of steps at the VIP South Entrance as passers-by gathered to watch.
More than a dozen workers spent time making sure the entrance was fit for royalty as they smoothed down the carpet and trimmed the edges.
One of the staffers was seen wearing a T-shirt from Flemington Department Store in Raritan Township, New Jersey.
Asked what the carpet was for, one of the workers said, “A wedding.”
Another told The U.S. Sun that Taylor was hosting an event on Friday, although the ceremony was on another day.
According to Page Six, the carpet was later ripped off the stairs because it wasn’t meant to be rolled out yet.

A truck from Printhead Studio was also seen pulling up outside the venue.
The company produces seamless fabric backdrops up to 16 feet high for events, suggesting large curtains or decorative draping could be part of the setup.
Some event staff appeared to have flown in from Los Angeles, including stagehands, and said they were “excited” to be part of the celebrations, even if it meant working in the heat.
Manufactured white backer, often used as a structural foundation for temporary event installations, was also seen arriving at a separate entrance.
The U.S. Sun also spotted a worker wearing a T-shirt for Disco Pixel Productions, an New York-based technology design firm specializing in video and projection support for Broadway, touring theater, and live events.
Instagram photographs show the business was involved in the production of Wicked The Musical.
City permits have also been filed to close sections of West 31st Street and West 33rd Street around Madison Square Garden during the celebrations.
According to multiple reports, both vehicles and pedestrians will be barred from the affected areas while tents and canopies are erected to shield guests arriving at the venue.
Reported attendees will include Ed Sheeran, Gigi Hadid, Karlie Kloss, Zoe Kravitz, the Haim sisters, Suki Waterhouse and members of the Kansas City Chiefs organization, while Stevie Nicks and Tim McGraw have reportedly been lined up to perform.
Several of Travis’ Kansas City Chiefs teammates are also said to have booked rooms around this time at the Marriott Marquis in Times Square.
Additionally, Amtrak police officers who typically patrol the station beneath the arena have reportedly been warned that the celebrity couple’s nuptials will be held at the venue.
The New York Times also reported that people who work for Taylor have been spotted at Rock Lititz, a production company in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, which constructs major concert sets.
Thousands will also flock to New York and New Jersey for the FIFA World Cup game on July 5 at MetLife Stadium, adding to the city’s already overcrowded streets.
Some fans believe that the lovebirds could host a smaller celebration at a different venue before that, but clues have already sent them on a wild goose chase over where the nuptials might be.
Taylor and Travis were originally thought to get married in a fairytale wedding in Rhode Island on June 13.
