Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's highly anticipated wedding is finally here — and the guest list is as star-studded as expected.

As the July 3 event slated to start around 5 p.m. ET closed in, a parade of celebrities, musicians and sports figures endured the brutal heat to enter Madison Square Garden, where Swift and fiancé Travis Kelce are expected to wed.

Friends of both Swift and the Kansas City Chiefs football star tight end began arriving mid-afternoon in a steady stream of SUVs.

Bradley Cooper, Hugh Grant, Benson Boone, Dakota Johnson, Nikki Glaser, Sombr and Patrick Mahomes were among the marquee names seen either walking or being driven toward the arena, which has reportedly been completely transformed into a scene befitting the famous couple.

Ed Sheeran, clad in a bright aqua blue suit, arrived holding hands with wife Cherry Seaborn. Sheeran, who was spotted earlier in the week at a restaurant in upstate New York with fellow Swift pal Aaron Dessner, is a rumored performer at the soiree.

A country music contingent including The Chicks, Brad Paisley and members of Little Big Town was also spotted getting ready to be driven to MSG.

Zoë Kravitz, who became friends with Swift after spending time in London quarantining during the pandemic, stepped out with a black scarf over her arm. Kravitz has been linked with onetime Swift boyfriend Harry Styles, who is currently in London on his Together, Together tour.

Along with the spotted arrivals, other close friends of Swift and Kelce are expected to attend.

Sabrina Carpenter, a friend and collaborator of Swift's, was also reportedly spotted out at a restaurant in New York City ahead of the wedding, according to a video shared on X.

Additionally, talk show host Graham Norton and "Fleabag" star Phoebe Waller-Bridge have both been seen arriving in New York, according to the BBC. Waller-Bridge has grabbed dinner with Swift in the past, and when the singer was a guest on "The Graham Norton Show" last year, she promised the talk show host a wedding invite. "I was gonna invite you to it," she told Norton, who also appeared in her music video for "Opalite."

Swift's friend Suki Waterhouse told Variety in May that "I'm gonna go to Taylor’s wedding," which she said might give her some inspiration for her own. Waterhouse, who is engaged to Robert Pattinson, has been photographed in New York this week.

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle also says he snagged an invite. "I'm wearing a blue suit," he recently told Entertainment Tonight, and he revealed to ExtraTV that the couple has told guests there is to be "absolutely no gifts."

Swift has previously made clear she didn't plan to be especially selective when it comes to her wedding guest list. In her 2025 appearance on the "Graham Norton Show," the "Life of a Showgirl" singer said planning the wedding would be fun because "the only stressful weddings are the ones where you have a small amount of" guests and "people are on the bubble, and you have to evaluate or access your relationship with them to see if they should be there."

"I'm not going to do that," she quipped, joking that "anyone I've ever talked to" is invited.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding has been one of the most anticipated events of the year, blending two of the biggest names in entertainment and sports. The star-studded guest list — from Bradley Cooper and Ed Sheeran to Patrick Mahomes and Sabrina Carpenter — reflects the couple’s massive influence and wide circle of friends.

The choice of Madison Square Garden as the venue adds a uniquely New York flair to the celebration, transforming the iconic arena into a private wedding wonderland. As fans and media speculate about every detail, from the rumored performances to the no-gifts policy, the event underscores Swift’s ability to turn personal milestones into cultural moments.

For now, the focus remains on the couple’s joy as they exchange vows surrounded by loved ones. In a year filled with Swift’s dominance in music and Kelce’s continued NFL success, their wedding feels like the perfect capstone to a whirlwind chapter.
