Decoy Wedding?!

Apologies I haven't gone through any individual topic to see if there are threads.

But with all the shit in the world going on, and true escapism is anyone else thoroughly excited about the "potential" TS/TK nuptials?

I find I'm far too invested! Pathetic to be so interested? Very possibly but I don't care!

Again apologies if there's already something going... If there is can someone share!

When I see people write ‘MSG’ like that, my first thought is ‘mono sodium glutamate’.

They do live in a different world. I saw this photo earlier and thought how weird it must be to get used to your personal 'moments' being crowded by photographers and security, all jostling and yelling with flashes and alarms going off. I wonder if they're ever on their own, and how that would feel?

I think I would struggle to separate ‘kissing my boyfriend because I’m surrounded by cameras all day every day and don’t really notice them’ and ‘kissing my boyfriend because last time we did it on camera I sold more records’, and I’m not sure how I feel about that 😵‍💫.

my DH and I were (sadly!!) discussing this earlier - surely if you were Taylor Swift you could choose to get married literally anywhere in the world? Why would you choose MSG?! I did think it was a decoy but then I saw a photo of lots of flowers and wondered if they have maybe absolutely transformed it inside. Who knows!

She went to the wedding of Jack Antonoff and Margaret Qualley a couple of years ago and an insanely large crowd gathered and basically ruined the day because they knew she would be there. I totally understand why she got married where she did. High security, no drones, no helicopters, big venue.

I'm sure it looked beautiful inside. They've been building something inside for days and someone anonymous bought every single high grade cala lily in new york this week...

Forgot the picture 🤦‍♀️

Edited

If there were no cameras/security then they wouldn’t be making ridiculous amounts of money from limited talents.

i am deeply invested too.
told a year 1 class that taylor is getting married tomorrow.
then we spent a phonics lesson thinking of words with /ay/ or /or/ in them.

year 1 class were almost invested. i was neck-deep in invested-ment.

You ran a lesson based around some pointless celeb wedding? Bet the parents loved that. I guess it’s never too early to introduce small children to inane celebs and their lives

Watching the World Cup game and they are reporting a massive thunderstorm in/over New York.

OneSparklyGoat · 04/07/2026 01:20

Looks like it was the real thing. I could hardly be called a fan but am enjoying the coverage.

I played “Love Story” and danced around the house. They seem to adore each other and anything happy in this crazy time is a good!

I thought the ‘NBC Livestream’ was a joke.

But … no.

Hugh Grant is there. #DesperateDays

Oh my god it’s a real link, I thought it was going to be a rickroll or something 😂

firstofallimadelight · 03/07/2026 23:58

I don’t get it please explain

There’s no joke as such, @firstofallimadelight - I’m just kind of saying that even though I don’t know much about Taylor Swift, she’s still brought a small ray of her catchy light music into my domestic grind. And I’ll give her that / thank her for that.

i could not be less interested.

And yet... here you are.

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 04/07/2026 00:52

I think they're already married & this is the wedding reception/party.
I reckon they either slipped away somewhere weeks or ago maybe even tied the knot in London last November as they were filming the Opalite video then.
The wedding bell sounds are so much louder in the Opalite video than on the album - and Taylor loves her Easter eggs........or it's just a big blooming coincidence.

I hope they're having a great time & like @NeverTalksToStrangers2 I just want to see the dresses too.

NeverTalksToStrangers2 · 04/07/2026 00:18

I'm sick of people shaming big weddings. Your wedding isn't better or likely to result in a longer marriage just because it is small. There's nothing wrong with a big party.

If they have money, isn't it good that they spend it? This wedding will have employed so many people. Plus they've given loads to charity.

Haters gonna hate.
I just want to see the dress(es).

I love all the drama around it! I love the love Travis and Taylor seem to have for each other and wish them so much happiness - they radiate love and joy and they share it with millions around the world who outnumber the haters! ❤️

Can’t wait to see pics and videos - I have so many questions!! I’m so over invested my family are sick of it 🤣

  • does Jason have a crazy best man stunt planned?
  • Will Kylie be a bridesmaid and her girls flower girls?!
  • will Blake and Ryan be there…

Blake and Ryan aren’t there. They’ve been pictured somewhere else - some kind of horse event, for one of their children I think.

WhatAMarvelousTune · 04/07/2026 00:03

I saw an article that quoted an actress (Busy Phillips) as saying that basically every celeb wedding she’d been to has been disturbed by paparazzi helicopters. So I imagine for Taylor swift’s wedding you could multiply that by quite a lot. So I think a venue you can completely lock down, no point trying to hide that it’s happening but who cares because no helicopter or drone can see you, would be very appealing.

I hope we get a picture of the dress/dresses though. I’m still hoping we get a picture of Zendaya’s wedding dress as she always looks amazing (yes I know these people have a right to privacy and don’t owe us pictures, I’m just saying I’d like to see).
I’d also love to see what they’ve transformed the inside of MSG into.

I only know two Taylor Swift songs, but they are both intensely catchy. The Cray Cray one, and Christmas Tree Farm which gets played in the kitchen every December while I make mince pies.

So I’ll give her that.

I don’t get it please explain

Graham Norton has been spotted in the last hour in black tie, in New York….

I’m invested! Can’t wait to wake up tomorrow to hopefully see some pics!

She did say she would invite him!

I love TS. I can’t think anyone would be unhappy about her wedding. The hate she’s getting on SM is most odd.
please let her have done a magazine deal so I get to see everything!

Probably not but hopefully it will feature in her next documentary

Oneisallandallisone · 03/07/2026 23:51

I think they got secretly wed on 13th June, and this is the after party

pinksheetss · 03/07/2026 23:07

you haven’t seen anything about the actual wedding yet to be making a comment like this?

sorry OP I didn’t mean to derail by bringing up originally. I just thought it was fantastic the amount donated and on top of everything else they have donated over the years

Erm. The thread is about a possible DECOY wedding.
