There’s going to be a lot of country star power representing at the wedding of pop superstar Taylor Swift and her fiancé, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
If you’re on social media, you’re probably already sick of hearing about this weekend’s wedding between Swift and Kelce, and after months of secrecy, it’s finally been revealed that the wedding will take place tomorrow, July 3 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Permits filed with the city for street closures from July 2-4 reveal that the couple expect to host around 1,000 guests at the event, which will reportedly feature performances from Tim McGraw and Stevie Nicks. And trucks have been spotted unloading massive amounts of gear, with TMZ reporting that the couple would construct a giant garden inside the New York City arena.
Some still think it might be some sort of decoy, though most signs seem to be pointing to an MSG wedding, and honestly I think it’s a terrible place to have a wedding, but I get they want tight security so from that standpoint, it makes a lot of sense.
The guest list is expected to include a ton of people, I mean 1,000 guests is just insane, but considering Taylor’s country roots, it probably won’t surprise you to learn that there will be quite a few country star on-hand to help celebrate the couple.
It’s been rumored that Tim McGraw will performing, along with Stevie Knicks, and he certainly won’t be the only country artist in attendance (I assume his wife Faith Hill will also be there, as they’ve known Taylor forever now).
Page Six also confirmed that Mrs. Miranda Lambert herself received an invitation, along with country artists in Kane Brown, Little Big Town, Kelsea Ballerini, Maren Morris, Kenny Chesney and even Lainey Wilson, who just got married herself and recently performed with Swift at Kelce’s TightEnd University concert in Nashville.
Of course, Taylor has worked with most of them before seeing as she got her start in the country genre, and she and Miranda go pretty far back, and have even shared the stage before. They performed together in Greensboro, North Carolina in October of 2015 during a stop on Swift’s 1989 World Tour, where she brought Lambert out as a surprise special guest to duet Miranda’s hit song, “Little Red Wagon.”
Taylor put out her debut self-titled country album in October of 2006, just about a year after Miranda put out her debut album Kerosene in March of 2005, and Miranda is only about six years older than Swift, so they really did come up in country around the same time.
I have to imagine most of them will attend, and I’m sure at some point, we’ll get all the photos and videos and see everything about this wedding which has really become a massive event that the world is watching.
