A slew of celebrities have been spotted around New York City as Taylor Swift prepares to tie the knot.

Rumours that the pop star will be marrying her NFL sweetheart, Travis Kelce, at Madison Square Garden this weekend have been fuelled by the numerous famous faces spotted strolling around the city.

And of course, there’s no shortage of Irish celebrities out and about.

Graham Norton was snapped with his husband, Jono McLeod, at JFK Airport.

The talk show host has long been pegged to attend the wedding after having Swift on his show.

When asked when the wedding will be, the popstar told Graham: ‘Oh, you’ll know. I was going to invite you to it.’ He later appeared in the music video for her song, Opalite. 

Also starring in the Opalite music video was Cillian Murphy, who was sitting next to Swift on the Graham Norton Show.

The Peaky Blinders star was coincidentally also recently spotted wandering around New York ahead of the big event. 

While he has yet to be seen in the Big Apple, Niall Horan is heavily rumoured to be attending the wedding.

The pair have a longstanding friendship that dates back to 2018 when he joined her at Wembley Stadium during her Reputation Tour. 

Earlier this year, reports claimed that the former One Direction star would soon be collaborating with the Love Story singer, highlighting that the pair remain close. 

Among other rumoured Irish attendees are U2, who have previously referred to themselves as Swift’s ‘Irish fan club’. She was gifted welcoming flowers from the iconic band after landing in Dublin for the Eras Tour in 2024. 

Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen all signed a note on the basket that read: ‘Dear Taylor, welcome back to our hometown … leave some of it standing ?!’ 

While Swift has yet to officially confirm that her wedding will take place in Madison Square Garden this weekend, it has been all but confirmed by the large amount of preparation happening around the venue and numerous stars spotted around the city, like Sabrina Carpenter and Phoebe Waller-Bridge. 

Playing coy about a possible ceremony in the 22,000-seat arena, Mayor Zohran Mamdani has stressed: ‘We are fully prepared, there isn’t anything to share beyond that.’ 

In a tongue-in-cheek moment, when warning New Yorkers about dealing with a coming heatwave, he said they should stay cool ‘especially if you’re (hypothetically) having your wedding at MSG this weekend’. 

While officials are expecting some Swifties to be in the area for the event, they have described a massive level of security in and around the venue.

Speaking to the BBC, celebrity photographer Mickey Blank stressed it was ‘like Pentagon-level secrecy’. 

‘You cannot go in, you cannot see anything. Your chances of seeing Taylor Swift are, like, zero,’ she explained.

It is understood that Swift and Kelce will actually arrive at the venue through an underground entrance.
