Sparks are flying for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, whose second wedding event is reportedly underway at Madison Square Garden.
Celebrities including actors Hugh Grant, Ethan Hawke and Jason Sudeikis, singer Benson Boone, soccer legend Abby Wambach and NFL stars Chris Jones and Cooper Kupp were photographed arriving at MSG late Friday afternoon in black-tie attire as a cocktail hour was scheduled to begin.
Some 1,000 people are expected to be in attendance at the event, which isn’t scheduled to end until 4 a.m. Saturday morning, sources familiar with the plans told ABC News earlier this week.

For both events, a strict no-phone policy is in place for everyone inside the venue, including guests, vendors and security personnel, according to sources.
Representatives for Swift or Kelce have not confirmed any details about the events.
Outside of MSG, home to the New York Knicks, the New York Police Department put around one dozen street closures in place over Thursday and Friday because of the events.

In addition, access to Moynihan Train Hall and Penn Station, where travelers catch Amtrak and commuter trains, was also limited, the NYPD said Thursday.
Leading up to this week, there had been growing reports that the couple may tie the knot around the Fourth of July holiday, but neither Swift nor Kelce had confirmed any details publicly.
On Thursday, just hours before their first reported event at MSG, a representative for Swift confirmed to ABC News that she and Kelce had donated $26 million to charities both in New York City and across the United States.
The “Shake It Off” singer and Kansas City Chiefs tight end announced their engagement in August last year, after first sparking speculation about their relationship in the fall of 2023.
