Sparks are flying for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, whose second wedding event is reportedly underway at Madison Square Garden.
Celebrities including actors Hugh Grant, Ethan Hawke and Jason Sudeikis, singer Benson Boone, soccer legend Abby Wambach and NFL stars Chris Jones and Cooper Kupp were photographed arriving at MSG late Friday afternoon in black-tie attire as a cocktail hour was scheduled to begin.
Some 1,000 people are expected to be in attendance at the event, which isn’t scheduled to end until 4 a.m. Saturday morning, sources familiar with the plans told ABC News earlier this week.

As guests gathered inside MSG, another New York City landmark, the Empire State Building, turned a light sparkle blue to honor Swift and Kelce, according to the building’s website.
“Her something blue,” the official X account for the Empire State Building captioned a video showing the building in blue.
Just 24 hours prior, on Thursday evening, Swift and Kelce held a smaller gathering at MSG for around 100 people, sources said.
An SUV with tinted windows believed to be transporting Swift was photographed arriving at MSG around 5 p.m. on Thursday.

Access to Moynihan Train Hall and Penn Station, where travelers catch Amtrak and commuter trains, was also limited, according to the NYPD.
Leading up to this week, there had been growing reports that the couple may tie the knot around the Fourth of July holiday, but neither Swift nor Kelce had confirmed any details publicly.
On Thursday, just hours before their first reported event at MSG, a representative for Swift confirmed to ABC News that she and Kelce hadĀ donatedĀ $26 million to charities both in New York City and across the United States.
The “Shake It Off” singer and Kansas City Chiefs tight end announcedĀ their engagement in August last year, after first sparking speculation about theirĀ relationship in the fall of 2023.
