Well, it's the closest thing that America has to a royal wedding.
You take what you can get.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey are expected to celebrate their wedding
at Madison Square Garden tonight.
So many questions.
Will big brother Jason Kelsey be the best man?
Will Oprah officiate?
Will they honeymoon at the Reading Pagoda?
Did you write that in?
It's a live look at the arena in Manhattan right now.
Fans have been gathering outside just for a glimpse of the setup
and maybe even an SUV carrying the happy couple.
That would be neat.
Jayshia Patel from our sister station, WABC, is joining us live in New York.
Good morning, Jayshia.
Thank you, guys.
Yeah, definitely a lot happening already around MSG.
I think what's really unique about this situation
is we're not really sure what is happening here.
There's a lot of speculation.
Is this a wedding, a reception?
Is this a decoy?
One thing I can tell you for sure, though, a big police presence in this area
around Madison Square Garden.
In fact, if we pan our camera over, you can see this area
that they set up very early this morning.
You can see the fencing.
The crews have set up even a tent.
So you can't really see who's going in and out of Madison Square Garden.
As you can imagine, though, many high-profile celebrities
could be attending tonight.
So privacy is a huge deal today.
But one thing that is really interesting
is there's actually production signage around MSG
this morning, which makes you wonder, are they
shooting some sort of movie here, possibly for fans?
Only time will tell when it comes to that.
But security at an all-time high around here.
Police have set up barricades, and crews
have been rolling in equipment as they put the finishing touches
on reportedly turning Madison Square Garden into a fairy tale set.
Sources tell ABC News Madison Square Garden is hosting two events.
There was one reportedly last night, a smaller event for about 100 people,
and another one tonight for about 1,000 people.
That's not scheduled to end until about 2 to 4 AM tomorrow morning.
So if I had to guess, possibly a wedding and a reception happening here.
Now, sources also say that there will be no phones
for guests, vendors, and security.
And all of this excitement has people trying to guess
what exactly is happening inside.
This is being called the wedding of the century,
or for Swifties, their royal wedding.
I think it's our version of a royal wedding, because she's so popular
and her future husband's so popular.
You know, everyone's going to be all eyes on them the whole weekend
and excited to see what they're going to do and show us.
It's exciting, you know?
I feel like so much is going on in the world.
Everybody needs a little excitement.
We're huge Taylor Swift fans, and we're happy that it's happening for them.
And yeah, just a little stroll on our lunch break
to see if we could catch anything.
And you guys, some fans even flew here from out of town here to New York
just to be in the area, because Taylor Swift is getting married today.
We know that yesterday, hours before the event that happened,
Taylor and Travis donated around $26 million to charities.
Again, a lot of rumors in the air.
We're hearing Ed Sheeran's in town, Sabrina Carpenter's in town.
They might be performing tonight.
We don't know.
There's also a rumor that Taylor and Travis already got married in Tennessee
maybe a week ago.
So a lot of question marks up in the air about what's happening here.
But I think all of the questions kind of add to the excitement
and the mystery of what's happening today.
I'll send it back to you guys.
Definitely a lot of excitement among fans
who are flying to New York just to be close.
This is why they've been so secretive about their wedding.
They don't want wedding crashers.
All right.
Thank you so much for giving us the lowdown
and the latest on our version of the royal wedding.
Taylor Swift, you know, she's a Berks County native.
And part of the couple's donation went to a local charity.
One million dollars will benefit helping harvest fresh food bank based in Reading.
The organization's president says it's one of the largest donations
they've ever received.
Our in-house Taylor Swift fan, Karen Rogers.
I'm really hoping they got married a week ago in Tennessee.
Yeah, I heard they maybe already got married, but I didn't hear those details.
That would be lovely, right?
Something a little private for her before on the buzz.
I hope she does deserve it.
Why are you picking, Matt?
I think it's true.
I can't wait to see pictures of it all, though.
I hope she is making some movie.
