Taylor Swift's MSG rehearsal dinner includes celebs, cocktails

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's multi-day wedding extravaganza reportedly kicked off with a star-studded rehearsal dinner and, of course, cocktails.

A string of celebs from the couple's inner circle flocked to Madison Square Garden on Thursday, July 2, for what was reportedly the pre-wedding rehearsal dinner. The intimate affair was followed by a larger celebration for roughly 1,000 guests, with the space booked until about 4 a.m., CBS News reported.

A much bigger celebration for Swift, a 14-time Grammy winner and Kelce, a three-time Super Bowl champ, is expected to be held on Friday, July 3.

Famous faces including Lena Dunham and producer Jack Antonoff were seen mobilizing across New York City as wedding fever continued to grow across midtown Manhattan and beyond.

Selena Gomez shared an Instagram stories video of herself wearing a black gown adorned with floral appliqués. Her stylist, Erin Walsh, shared photos of Gomez's look to Instagram July 3. "SEL in the city 🖤✨," she captioned the post, along with details of the look, which included an Oscar de la Renta dress, Jimmy Choo shoes and Fernando Jorge jewels.

Suki Waterhouse, the Haim sisters, Zoë Kravitz and Emma Stone are all likely to attend the wedding.

Other reports placed Ed Sheeran and Sabrina Carpenter in town, and Page Six shared photos purportedly showing Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper making their way to the traditional dinner, which was held inside Madison Square Garden’s Infosys Theater, CBS reported.

The theater previously held the NBA Draft and was home to performances from stars including Elton John, Elvis and Diana Ross.

The rehearsal dinner, for about 100 guests, was scheduled to run from 6-10:30 p.m., the outlet reported, citing two law enforcement sources familiar with security planning relating to the wedding weekend. Guests were treated to cocktails and a night of music, the outlet said.

Excitement continues to build for the highly-anticipated union of the megastars, though the A-list couple still haven't revealed when or where they'll get married, with growing reports offering clues about their nuptials. 

Ahead of their lavish ceremony, the pair donated $26 million to charities across the country, including several food banks.
