Fresh off their NBA championship victory, the New York Knicks starting five have reportedly secured invitations to one of the year's most anticipated celebrity events: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding celebration at Madison Square Garden.
According to Page Six, Josh Hart, Mikal Bridges, OG Anunoby, Karl-Anthony Towns, and Jalen Brunson are all on the guest list for the couple's 1,000-person wedding event scheduled for Friday, July 3, 2026, at the iconic Manhattan venue.
A source told Page Six that Swift and Kelce have invited the starting lineup for the Knicks to their celebration, which comes just weeks after the pop superstar was spotted cheering on the team during Game Four of the NBA Finals. Swift made headlines when she attended the championship game alongside the Haim sisters, arriving at Madison Square Garden wearing parody Knicks shirts that captured widespread attention on social media.
The connection between Swift and the Knicks appears to have deepened during the team's championship run, with the singer-songwriter demonstrating her support for New York's basketball franchise at a crucial moment in their season. Her presence at the finals generated significant buzz both in sports and entertainment circles.
It remains unclear whether the five players have accepted their invitations to the Friday celebration. If they attend, they will join a star-studded guest list that reportedly includes musicians Benson Boone and Sombr, as well as model Karlie Kloss, among the estimated 1,000 guests expected at the Madison Square Garden event.
The choice of Madison Square Garden as the wedding venue holds particular significance for New York, as the arena serves as home court for the Knicks and has been the site of countless memorable moments in the city's sports and entertainment history. Hosting a wedding celebration of this magnitude at the venue represents an unprecedented use of the iconic space.
For the Knicks players, the invitation caps a remarkable period that has seen them achieve championship glory and gain recognition beyond the basketball court. The team's starting five has become synonymous with the franchise's resurgence and return to championship form.
Representatives for the Knicks players have not publicly commented on whether they plan to attend the Friday celebration. The wedding event is expected to draw significant media attention and security presence in the area surrounding Madison Square Garden.
