NEW YORK, July 3 — Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are reportedly already married, with the couple said to have exchanged vows in a private ceremony ahead of their star-studded celebration at Madison Square Garden.

According to New York’s Page Six, multiple sources claimed the pop superstar and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end had already become husband and wife before their lavish wedding festivities in New York.

One source told the publication the pair had already tied the knot in an intimate ceremony attended only by a small group of family and close friends.

“They are already married,” the source was quoted as saying.

A Nashville-based music industry source also claimed there was widespread speculation in the city that the couple had legally married.

Page Six reported that no recent marriage licence linked to Swift had been found through the Manhattan City Clerk’s Office, although New York marriage licences remain sealed and are valid for 60 days after issuance.

Another source claimed the private ceremony may have taken place in Tennessee, where Swift moved as a teenager to pursue her music career.

The report also noted that Swift’s private jet made several stops on Sunday in cities linked to close family members, including Philadelphia, where Kelce’s father Ed lives, and Tampa, where Swift’s father Scott resides, before returning to New York.

The couple are expected to host a lavish celebration at Madison Square Garden following a rehearsal dinner attended by about 100 guests.

Page Six previously reported that the event is expected to welcome more than 1,000 guests and feature performances by Stevie Nicks and Kenny Chesney, while Ed Sheeran is rumoured to perform and Paul McCartney is expected to attend.

The venue has reportedly been transformed into a garden-themed setting, with food from some of Swift’s favourite restaurants also set to be served.

Neither Swift nor Kelce has publicly confirmed the marriage, and their representatives have not commented on the report.
