Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's rehearsal dinner for around a hundred guests is due to get under way at Madison Square Garden's Infosys Theater in New York tonight, ahead of the couple's wedding at the arena on Friday.
Law enforcement officials have confirmed the ceremony will take place on the main arena floor, with around a thousand guests expected for a black-tie celebration under strict secrecy rules, including non-disclosure agreements and a ban on mobile phones.
The New York Police Department is deploying around a hundred and thirty-five officers across both events, with counterterrorism units and explosive-detection teams among the security measures.
