Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce kicked off their wedding events with a star-studded rehearsal dinner that felt more like a private concert than a typical pre-wedding meal. Inside Madison Square Garden’s Infosys Theater, soft pink lighting and lavish floral arrangements set the tone for an intimate evening shared with family and close friends.
What the rehearsal dinner looked and felt like
Guests entered a space transformed by blush tones. The theater’s lobby and interior glowed in pink, and an unexpected carpet in the same hue stretched through the venue.
