Taylor & Travis’ Wedding
Biz Owners Near MSG Dread Big Day …
Cruel Start To Summer?!?
Published
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are getting hitched at Madison Square Garden … and some businesses in the area fear the grand spectacle will be a pain in the ass for them.
TMZ reached out to several independent joints around the Garden — all bars and restaurants — and not a single one has received any information about the upcoming wedding, including security issues that might occur for such an epic event.
A few places even told us they were dreading the wedding … because if it’s anything like the area being locked down for President Trump at the Knicks game, July 3 will be a “disaster.”
One small business owner on West 31st Street told us … security being rigged for the NBA Finals is fine … because there are still a ton of people who come to his place for the games … but he ain’t expecting the joint to be packed with Swifties come wedding day.
Another owner with a business on West 33rd Street said he was super irritated … because even if it’s unintentional, Taylor and Travis’ wedding is going to deter plenty of people from the area on a freaking holiday weekend … with the World Cup going on!
That same owner floated the idea that the couple should compensate small businesses around MSG … IF there’s a substantial impact.
A third small business owner on West 31st came with the jokes … saying it wasn’t too late for the couple to have their big day someplace else.
We broke the story … Taylor rented out MSG for at least three days — one day for setup, the wedding day itself, and another day for breakdown. We’re told she’s paying retail price, with the booking fee going for roughly $1 million per night.
