As expected, the Travis Kelce-Taylor Swift wedding is happening today

It’s Fourth of July weekend. And it’s also the weekend on which Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift will be married.

Via the Associated Press, the event will happen later today at Madison Square Garden. Things got going on Thursday night, with a rehearsal dinner at Madison Square Garden.

They’ve reportedly already been “legally married.” (Maybe for the same reason Jim and Pam took a detour to the Maid of the Mist.)

The effort to keep things secret eventually yielded to the practicalities of the various logistical realities of reserving and securing such an iconic venue. And there wasn’t much of an effort by anyone involved to push back once the cat was out of the bag.

It got to the point that some thought the MSG plan was a misdirection. It wasn’t.

So that’s it. They’re now married. Don’t look for her to take his last name. Or for him to take hers.
