Increasing signs point to a mega-bash for the A-list celebrity couple Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce at Madison Square Garden this week. Rumors have run rampant for weeks that the 36-year-old pop superstar and the three-time NFL Super Bowl winner, both 36, could wed at the storied sports arena, home to the New York Knicks, the newly crowned NBA champions.</image:caption>

<image:caption>US singer-songwriter Taylor Swift (L) and US NFL football player Travis Kelce (R) attend the men's final match between Italy's Jannik Sinner and USA's Taylor Fritz on day fourteen of the US Open tennis tournament at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York City, on September 8, 2024. Increasing signs point to a mega-bash for the A-list celebrity couple Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce at Madison Square Garden this week. Rumors have run rampant for weeks that the 36-year-old pop superstar and the three-time NFL Super Bowl winner, both 36, could wed at the storied sports arena, home to the New York Knicks, the newly crowned NBA champions.</image:caption>
