Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce select iconic sporting venue for wedding as more than 1000 people invited
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding date and location has been emerged, with the power couple set to tie the knot at one of the most iconic sporting venues in the world.
After a two-year period of dating, Swift and Kelce announced their engagement on August 26 with a joint Instagram post.
Kansas City Chiefs star Kelce got down on one knee in his garden at his home in Missouri, in an intimate but romantic proposal.
And just under a year on from the happy moment, the pair are set to take their vows in one of the biggest celebrity weddings in recent history.

According to TMZ, the wedding has been pencilled in for Friday July 3 and the venue is already set in stone.
The report states that Swift and Kelce have chosen to get married at New York's Madison Square Garden, with between 1,100 and 1,200 guests expected to be in attendance.
In a bid to maintain a level of privacy, they have reportedly communicated with their guests via text messages instead of sending out physical invitations.
Supermodel Karlie Kloss and singer Benson Boone are both on the invite list.
MSG, the home of both the NBA franchise the New York Knicks and the NHL ice hockey team the New York Rangers, has also played host to huge events in boxing, UFC and WWE.
It is also served as a regular concert space for some of the biggest artists of all-time, with Swift performing there on eight occasions.
In a full circle move, she will now marry her fiance at the same arena, which has a design that can help maintain privacy.
There are no windows for any photographers to try and snap pictures from, while the undergoing parking and multiple exits should make it easier to get to and from the venue in the likely event that large crowds congregate outside.
Still, there is expected to be a large security presence given the enormity of the event.
Private security and the NYPD are both set to play a key role in proceedings, with it expected that surrounding streets will be closed off and out of bounds.
The venue is free on the aforementioned date as there are no planned events at MSG between June 29 and July 6.
