Welcome to New York. She's been waiting for you.

Celebrities who are close with Taylor Swift have been spotted in New York in recent days as they presumably get ready to attend the pop star's highly anticipated wedding to Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

The A-list couple is rumored to be celebrating their matrimony on Friday, July 3, at Madison Square Garden, though most details about the big day remain under lock and key.

The guest list for the wedding is also unconfirmed, although there are a number of stars for whom it's safe to assume will be in attendance.

Scroll through for all the high-profile celeb sightings and potential guests.

Selena Gomez, Lena Dunham appear to head out for MSG rehearsal dinner

Ahead of an event that was speculated to be Swift and Kelce's rehearsal dinner at MSG on July 2, members of the couple's inner circle were mobilizing across New York City.

Lena Dunham was spotted in the back of an SUV, while producer Jack Antonoff was photographed by paparazzi stepping out in an oversized black blazer and matching slacks.

Page Six shared photos purportedly showing Gigi Hadid, Bradley Cooper and Ashley Avignone in a car that left Hadid's condo.

Selena Gomez shared an Instagram stories video of herself wearing a black gown adorned with floral appliqués. Her stylist, Erin Walsh, shared photos of Gomez's look to Instagram July 3. "SEL in the city ," she captioned the post, along with details of the look, which included an Oscar de la Renta dress, Jimmy Choo shoes and Fernando Jorge jewels.

Donna Kelce arrives in New York City: Report

Donna Kelce, the mother of the NFL star, has arrived in New York City ahead of the rumored ceremony, People reported.

Swift's soon-to-be mother-in-law, 73, arrived in the city on Thursday, July 2, amid reports that a wedding rehearsal dinner would occur later that night, according to People.

Ed Sheeran, Sabrina Carpenter spotted in New York ahead of Taylor Swift wedding

That list includes Swift's longtime pal Ed Sheeran, who is evidently in New York already. On June 30, a restaurant owner in upstate New York shared a photo of the "Shape of You" singer and said that he and another one of Swift's musical collaborators, Aaron Dessner, had stopped by.

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 close friends Selena Gomez and the Haim sisters are among the other stars who will almost certainly be at the wedding. Outside of these safe bets, a few stars have explicitly confirmed they're going.

Stars who said they're attending Swift-Kelce nuptials

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.
