Wedding Day: Travis Kelce Drops a Prince William Podcast Hours Before Marrying Taylor — Plus Stevie Nicks and Tim McGraw Reportedly Perform

0:03 Kala Rocashawk Media. This is it wedding day. It is Friday, July third, and after months of speculation, permits and steakouts, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey are expected to tie the knot tonight at Madison Square Garden. Florals are arriving by the truckload. The city is locked down, and the morning of the wedding already handed us a curveball nobody saw coming. Welcome to a special bulletin because a few hours before the biggest wedding in pop culture, the groom decided to release a podcast with a member of the British royal family.

0:46 Let's get into it. Here is the news that stopped everyone cold. This morning, Travis and Jason Kelsey announced they are dropping a special episode of their New Heights podcast today and the guest is Prince William. The teaser went on Instagram with the caption London's Calling and the episode is set to publish at noon Eastern. Read that back. Roughly five hours before Travis Kelcey is expected to get married, he is putting out a sit down with the future King of England. Nobody knows when it was recorded or why it is landing on his actual wedding day. And that is exactly the kind of mystery this couple loves to leave hanging. And if you are wondering how a Kansas City tight end and a swifty pop Titan ended up chatting with Prince William, the connection runs deeper than you might think. Taylor and William have cross paths several times.

1:34 Back in twenty thirteen at a charity ball, the two of them jumped on stage with bon Jovi and led the room through living on a prayer. Yes, that actually happened. And in twenty twenty four, during the Eras tour stop at Wembley, Swift snapped backstage selfie with William and his kids, Prince George and Princess Charlotte. So the friendship is real, the timing is wild, and we will all be refreshing that podcast feed at noon. Is it a fun distraction the couple planned to drop on the world mid wedding. Is William himself somehow in town? We do not know yet, but leave it to these two to upstage their own wedding morning with a prince. Now, let's talk about the question that has the whole internet arguing, because this is where the reporting gets gloriously messy. Did they already get married?

2:23 Here is the situation. Most major outlets, the APCNN, NBC all have today Friday as the wedding, with last night being the rehearsal dinner, But one tabloid report through a wrench in that, claiming it sources say last night's hundred person gathering was actually the real ceremony and that the pair may already be legally hitched, with tonight's big bash just the party. Then you have a Swift super fan and insider telling Fox News she would not be surprised if Taylor already married Travis privately and simply is not telling anyone. So which is it? Honestly, we love that we cannot tell you. Everyone is reporting something a little different, and with a lockdown this tight, the confusion is half the fun. Here is one clue that muddies it further.

3:13 A vehicle believed to be carrying Taylor was photographed in a storm of camera flashes leaving Madison Square Garden last night. So the bride went home after the rehearsal, which does not exactly scream we just got married, But with this couple who plants Easter eggs and bracelets and album booklets. You can never rule out a beautifully executed headfake rehearsal, secret wedding, or the world's most elaborate misdirection. Take your pick. We will know by tonight. Probably while the Internet argues about what already happened, the garden is getting its makeover for what happens next. This morning floral arrangements and big, bushy bundles of green foliage or photographed arriving at MSG the finishing touches on turning a windowless basketball arena into an enchanted garden, and a posted notice confirmed that filming is taking place at the venue from June twenty ninth through today and that anyone walking in is subject to appearing on camera. So Taylor really is documenting this the Bridal Era film, the same way she chronicled the Era's tour.

4:15 But there is a very real complication hanging over the whole thing, and it is the weather. New York is under an extreme heat warning through Saturday evening. Temperatures are expected to hit one hundred four degrees this afternoon, and with the humidity, it will feel like one hundred and fourteen. The National Weather Service is warning that this level of heat can be deadly and there is a chance of thunderstorms with damaging wind gusts late this afternoon and into the evening, right around the time guests start arriving. Now, the guests themselves will mostly dash from air conditioned cars straight into an air conditioned arena, so they will be fine. But spare a thought for the fans and photographers camped outside in triple digit heat to catch a glimpse that is dead. Don't go anywhere when we come back. The two music legends reportedly taking the stage tonight, the guest list that is finally coming into focus, and the one A List couple who very pointedly did not make the cut.

5:14 Stay with us. All right, we are back. Let's talk about the entertainment, because a Taylor Swift wedding is not booking a wedding DJ off A List. Travis said over a year ago that he and Taylor are quote, live music kind of people, and it sounds like they meant it. Page six reported that Stevie Nicks and Tim McGraw are both set to perform tonight. Sit with that lineup for a second. Stevie Nicks, a rock and roll legend Taylor has shared the stage with and openly idolizes and Tim McGraw, the country star Taylor named her very first single after All the way back when she was a teenager writing songs in Nashville. If those two take the stage at this wedding, it is a full circle moment, stretching across Taylor's entire career. We will flag that this is a report not confirmed by the couple, but if it holds it as perfect. As for who is in the room, the guest list is finally coming into focus after weeks of pure guessing. Reported incited names now include Selena Gomez, Gigi Hadid, Suki Waterhouse with Robert Pattinson, Zoe Kravitz, the Him Sisters, Ed Sheeran, Jack Antonoff with Margaret Qually, comedian Drewski, and Taylor's childhood best friend Abigail Anderson. On the football side, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid confirmed his invite with a

6:46 great line joking, if I do not outgrow my tuxedo before then I am going. And remember George Kittle, who spent weeks not even knowing where the wedding was. He and his wife Claire made it and he says the couple ask for no gifts, though he is planning to sneak Travis and old coin anyway. Now for the snub, everyone noticed, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds were reportedly not invited following a well documented falling out between Lively and Swift. For a couple that reportedly invited around one thousand people, leaving off two of the most famous names in Hollywood is a statement, and the Internet absolutely noticed. We will let you draw your own conclusions there, and a little window into how seriously the guests are taking this. The wives of Travis's chiefs teammates have been documenting their prep on social media, with one posting about getting botox and a spray tan ahead of the big day. When the guests are this dialed in, you know the main event is going to be something. So here is where we stand this morning, wedding days here. Florals are flowing into the garden, a heat dome is baking, the city to music, ledge are reportedly warming up, and a prince is somehow dropping a podcast at noon. Bye tonight. The vows the whole world has been waiting on could finally actually happen unless of course they already did. We are watching every second of this, so stay close. If you are on Spotify,
