Taylor Swift arrives at BFF Gigi Hadid’s house to get ready for wedding extravaganza… as full staggering cost of MSG madness is revealed: Live updates

Taylor Swift arrived at her gal pal Gigi Hadid’s home to get ready for her big day.

She has been spotted at her supermodel friend’s Manhattan apartment several times this week amid preparations for the celebration.

Hadid and her partner, Bradley Cooper, were among the star-studded guest list at last night’s ‘rehearsal dinner.’

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce hosted an extravagant first night welcome party for their closest family and friends at Madison Square Garden’s Infosys Theater on Thursday.

The pop singer, 36, and the Chiefs tight end, also 36, were joined by around 100 guests ahead of a larger wedding celebration today, where 1,000 people are expected to attend.

Taylor turned the iconic venue pink for her wedding rehearsal dinner with the New York venue being lit up with lights and adorned with dusty pink curtains, while the interior was decked out with peach-colored flowers.

Famous guests including Selena Gomez, Jack Antonoff, Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper, as well as the singer’s childhood friend Abigail Anderson, were seen heading inside, while Taylor was spotted being swept into the back.

Just as the mercury hit 100F in the city for the first time since 2012, NYPD officers were being pulled from other duties on an already busy holiday weekend to patrol America’s royal wedding.

The NYPD put out an order to commands throughout the city to work uniformed details starting Thursday afternoon with the ‘Taylor Swift wedding rehearsal’. Additional personnel were assigned for Friday morning into the night.

‘It’s the 250th anniversary of the United States of America,’ one detective fumed. ‘The NYPD should be watching out for terrorists. A wedding should be the last thing the NYPD should be worried about.’

Despite starting off as friends, Charli XCX and Taylor Swift’s relationship has deteriorated so much that they’re said to have written diss tracks about each other.

So it came as no surprise to see Charli, 33, wasn’t on the guestlist for Taylor’s star-studded wedding celebration with Travis Kelce that’s taking place in the States this weekend.

While the stars’ mutual friends such as Camila Cabello and Jack Antonoff have headed to New York for the festivities, Charli remained in London.

Ellie Goulding and her boyfriend Beau Minniear were seen leaving London and making their way to Taylor Swift’s wedding in New York on Thursday.

The singer, 39, hopped on a flight with her partner, 29, as Taylor’s rehearsal dinner celebrations were underway on the other side of the Atlantic.

Ellie and Beau, who began dating last year and share daughter Iris, three months, are attending the 1,000-guest celebration at Madison Square Garden tonight.

Newly-married Dua Lipa was in high spirits as she headed out of the recording studio ahead of Taylor Swift’s star-studded wedding on Friday.

Following her own wedding to Callum Turner last month, Dua, 30, was seen out and about in NYC in a sexy nude camisole.

The hitmaker teamed her look with casual jeans as she signed autographs for fans outside the studio.

Several other British stars have been spotted making their way over to New York for the wedding, including Graham Norton who arrived on Thursday.

Travis Kelce will wear a minimum of three outfits for his lavish wedding celebration with Taylor Swift today, according to the man who has styled him for years.

Tom Marchitelli is the man behind the outfits of some of the NFL’s biggest names, and he has designed 25 of Kelce’s suits over the last decade – but will not be involved with the wedding look.

That said, he knows the Chiefs star well and has predicted how many outfits he’ll wear, who will design them, and what they’re going to look like.

Floral arrangements were seen arriving at Madison Square Garden on Friday as preparations continued for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding celebration.

Day two of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s lavish wedding weekend is underway at Madison Square Garden.

Approximately 1,000 guests are expected to arrive starting around 3.30pm ET, and the event is due to get underway at 5pm.

The celebration is expected to run late into the night, and city permits suggest the party could go as late as 4am on Saturday.

The Long Island Rail Road announced that there will be restricted access to Penn Station on Thursday and Friday at the request of the NYPD.

Penn Station is located directly under Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding celebration venue, Madison Square Garden.

‘Customers traveling through Penn Station should use the 34th Street and 7th Avenue entrance. There will be no entry from 33rd Street,’ the Long Island Rail Road said.

‘You may also want to consider traveling through Grand Central or Atlantic Terminal.’

The announcement sparked backlash from locals who were outraged that the billionaire’s wedding party is impacting the busy travel hub.

‘How is Taylor Swift allowed to shut down NYC?’ one person wrote on X.

‘You should prioritize your citizens over out-of-town celebrities partying in a very secure arena,’ added another.

‘If a celebrity wants to mess with taxpayer-funded public services for her own wedding, she should foot the bill for that. Or better, just not inconvenience millions of people in one of the busiest parts of the city,’ wrote a third person.

Ahead of Swift and NFL star Travis Kelce’s wedding on Friday, the White House pushed out a Trump-themed tribute to the mega star.

It included a collage of the President imitating Swift’s iconic Eras Tour imagery.

It shows Trump in the middle with other past presidents like Abraham Lincoln and George Washington.

It also displays moments of great American triumph, like the end of World War II and the US putting a man on the moon.

‘It’s been a long time coming…,’ the post on X was captioned, a nod at Swift’s line used to promote her tour.

The New York City Police Department posted a playful video of Deputy Chief Timothy Beaudette giving Taylor Swift a shoutout on his megaphone during her wedding weekend celebration.
