Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce reported to have wed

Taylor Swift and ⁠Travis Kelce have married in private ahead of a planned ‌celebration ⁠at New York's Madison Square Garden, the New York Post's ‌Page Six has reported, ‌citing multiple unidentified sources.

The singer and the NFL player reportedly exchanged vows in front of a "tiny group of loved ones", the outlet said.

It did not say when or where the nuptials took place, although it noted Swift's private jet recently spent time in Nashville, Tennessee.

Swift's publicist did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

As workers scrambled to prepare Madison Square Garden on Thursday for what is expected to be a lavish celebration for the couple, the pair gave their clearest hint yet of what their plans might be.

While neither has commented on media reports of a holiday weekend celebration, the singer's publicity team on Thursday said that Kelce and Swift had donated $26 million to several charities in New York and elsewhere this week.

But several media outlets reported that Swift and Kelce will hold a 100-person event at the sports arena on Thursday, followed by a larger celebration in front of 1,000 people on Friday.

The venue's public calendar shows no events scheduled until Tuesday - a rare six-day stretch in a summer otherwise packed with concerts, with just the occasional night unbooked.

The union of the Love Story singer and Kansas City Chiefs tight end, dubbed "America's royal wedding", is one of the most anticipated celebrity ⁠weddings of the century.

Speculation has intensified since the couple announced their engagement last August following a public courtship that enchanted fans.

Cameras caught Swift cheering on Kelce at Chiefs games and followed him as he travelled around the world to her concerts.

A star-studded crowd is expected, given Swift's roster of celebrity friends, including Selena Gomez, Ed Sheeran, Emma Stone, and Gigi Hadid.

In one TV interview, Swift joked that she would invite "anyone that I've ever talked to".

Television host Graham Norton, who appeared in Swift's Opalite music video, was pictured arriving at New York's JFK Airport.

Swift was a guest on Norton's BBC chat show last year, and when he asked her when the wedding would take place, the singer said: "Oh, you'll know... I was going ‌to invite you to it."
