Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift have paid about $3 million to rent out Madison Square Garden for their three-day wedding celebration, according to TMZ.
The three-time Super Bowl champion and the superstar songstress, who are set to tie the knot on July 3, reportedly reserved the world’s most famous arena at an estimated $1 million per day: the first for an early setup, the second for the day of their wedding event and the day after to break it all down.
Kelce and Swift, who’s performed eight sold-out shows at MSG over the course of her career, did not strike a deal with Madison Square Garden and are paying retail price, despite this being the biggest celebrity wedding arguably ever.

MSG is owned by a Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp., a publicly traded company with plenty of stockholders overseeing financial decisions.
There are no events happening at MSG during their three-day extravaganza.
Kelce and Swift have invited more than 1,000 guests to their wedding over the phone or text to ensure privacy, TMZ previously reported.
The guest list reportedly includes Karlie Kloss, Zoë Kravitz, Ed Sheeran, the Haim sisters, Suki Waterhouse, Gigi Hadid and Selena Gomez.
In a recent interview with The Post, Sonal Shah, a luxury wedding planner in Manhattan, predicted that the nuptials could run the couple $10 million to $20 million-plus when it’s all said and done.
“But for a celebrity wedding of this scale, the venue fee would likely be just a fraction of the overall budget,” Shah said, pointing out that the power couple needs to hire a full staff, including a security team.
Page Six previously reported Kelce and Swift would be getting married at MSG — with one source explaining they chose the venue because “privacy was of number one importance to them both.”
The couple has been quiet about their wedding planning thus far, but a July 4th wedding in New York City sounds like Swift’s style.
The 14-time Grammy winner, who owns a Tribeca apartment, has been known to throw a big bash that weekend with her friends.
Kelce and Swift, who first got together in 2023, announced their engagement last August.
