High-profile celebrities including television presenter Graham Norton and actress Phoebe Waller-Bridge have arrived in New York ahead of the anticipated wedding of pop star Taylor Swift and NFL player Travis Kelce.
The upcoming nuptials and celebrations are expected to take place at Madison Square Garden, according to media reports and city officials who confirmed local street closures.

During an appearance on Norton's BBC chat show last year, Swift responded to a question about her wedding date.
"Oh, you'll know. I was going to invite you to it," she said.
Norton, who also starred in Swift's "Opalite" music video, was photographed with his husband Jono McLeod at JFK Airport, while Waller-Bridge was spotted separately in the city.
Waller-Bridge previously attended Swift's Eras Tour in London in 2024 and hosted Saturday Night Live in 2019 when Swift served as the musical guest.
Other reported attendees include NFL player George Kittle, singer Benson Boone, actress Suki Waterhouse, Selena Gomez, and childhood friend Abigail Anderson Berard.
It remains unconfirmed if actress Blake Lively will attend following a legal battle with co-star Justin Baldoni that was settled in May.
Preparations Underway at Madison Square Garden
Preparations are underway at the 22,000-seat arena, where staging props like a grand piano, carpets, and mirror balls were transported inside alongside the placement of local "no parking" signs.
A spokesperson for the New York City mayor's office, Dora Pekec, told the BBC that a permit was filed in early June to close roads surrounding the area from July 2 to July 4.
