Ready for it? Permits and sources suggest Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce will marry in New York City ‌next week.

Swift, one of the most successful musicians of all ‌time, and three-time Super Bowl champion Kelce announced their engagement last August.

Speculation began almost immediately about when and where ‌the couple would get married.

The , The New York Times claims to have solved the mystery, uncovering a permit filed with New York City to close the streets around Madison Square Garden from July 2 to midday July 4 for an event on July 3. It cited three people with knowledge of the matter.

City Hall spokesperson Dora Pekec confirmed to Reuters that a permit ‌with those details ‌had been ⁠filed.

The paper also said that several members of Kelce’s football team, the Kansas City Chiefs, had booked ​hotel rooms for dates around July 3 at the Marriott Marquis hotel in Times Square.

Two sources told the NY Times the plan called for an intimate gathering of about 100 people at the Garden on July 2, and about 1000 on July 3 for a “splashier celebration, with possible stage appearances”.

Winick Productions, an event ⁠planning company, filed an application with the city’s Street ‌Activity Permit ​Office in early June, the newspaper said.

It requested authorisation to set up a tent or canopy ​outside the ‌arena for the event, which it said would include up to 1000 attendees, according to the report.

Reuters could ​not immediately confirm that the wedding would be held in July.

Representatives for Swift, Madison Square Garden and Winick did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Last week, New York ​Mayor ​Zohran Mamdani suggested Swift’s wedding would be ​soon.

“We are used to big events, and we are incredibly excited for this one. We know it coincides with the Knicks Finals run. We know it coincides with July 4, America 250, Taylor Swift’s wedding all happening at the same time. And we are so excited to welcome the world ​here,” he told journalists, referencing the 250th birthday of the US and the national basketball championship.
