Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s rumored wedding could cost NYC millions

  • Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are reportedly planning a two-day wedding celebration at New York City's Madison Square Garden, with 100 guests on Thursday and 1,000 on Friday.
  • Security experts estimate the couple could spend $3 million to $5 million on private security, which would require extensive advance planning and close coordination with Madison Square Garden staff and the NYPD.
  • The event is compared to a 'presidential visit' due to its high-profile nature and may require up to 200 NYPD officers if large crowds gather.
  • Former city officials estimate the nuptials could cost New York City 'tens of millions' in police and cleanup expenses, raising concerns about the timing amidst other major city events.
  • Despite a permit application for an MSG event, speculation persists that the wedding might be a 'fake-out' or has already occurred privately, with security experts advising a more private venue for better protection.
