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!

Could they close the airspace? I’ve no idea. But in the event that a helicopter chooses to breach it, what’s gonna happen, the military shoots it down?

SO romantic 🤣🤣🤣

Millions of people around the world watch royal weddings, and they are full as dishwater

I will watch a film of Swift's wedding! I bet they had that arena looking absolutely incredible. Plus, a bunch of famous singers performed.

Mind you, the publicity and the magazine deal will probably pay for a lot of it too. She’s bound to have done a deal with someone I bet!

The dvd will be ready for the Christmas rush!

Happy Independence Day America.

I think this is one reason why they chose such a closed space as MSG.

Exactly @DimwittedSkateri think it was pretty strategically smart. Their options for 1000 guests were severely limited too. And it’s very secure.

It's actually a ton of fun to imagine what kind of wedding you'd have if you had unlimited funds!

I would have a wedding on ice. An ice wonderland, with tables and chairs made of ice. (Don't come at me - there is an Ice Hotel somewhere, so these things are possible!) And I would pay for all the guests to take skating lessons beforehand!

But there would be lots of carpet, too, so people would only have to skate around the wedding and the tables if they wanted to. The carpets would be white and lit up with soft cream lighting. Sigh.

Yeah I’d watch that too. I bet the music was brilliant.

Dua Lipa’s wedding was gorgeous!

Her civil ceremony was lovely - there’s still a big ostentatious party to come though.

DimwittedSkater · 04/07/2026 10:47

My ice wedding: Luckily, I have no money! 🤣

Oh, no - her gown was tacky. It was so low at the back that a mm more and you'd have seen her arse-crack!

WeKnowFrogsGoShaLaLaLaLa · 04/07/2026 10:51

Oh ignore me, they’ve had the party now too. It was this outfit/ceremony I was referring to and love!

DimwittedSkater · 04/07/2026 10:52

AND, she wore this to someone else's wedding! I've got Dennis Waterman's voice in my head, going "Classy biiird!" 🤣

I didn't love that suit. Looked very Nineties office. And the jacket cuts across the widest part of her. 🙈 Should have had a more curved hemline or be higher/lower.

It's giving Ride of the Valkyries.

MSG is positively quaint in comparison to what could have happened at a public venue.

At least her privates were covered I guess?

RocksByThePool · 04/07/2026 11:06

It does make sense as a venue for both of them. She lives in New York. They have both spoken about the shared fact of playing in large arenas for their jobs. They can control the space and security in that venue. An outdoor/farm/beach wedding would have potentially had drones/helicopters/long range cameras trying to catch it from the media or anywhere, even with top security.

KrazyKatty · 04/07/2026 11:18

I’ve heard of her, not of him and I couldn’t tell you a single song she’s written. I do think the money wasted on this ridiculous event is utterly obscene. 🤷🏻‍♀️

FloodlightsOnTheSquare · 04/07/2026 11:22

But it’s their money to spend 🤷‍♀️ and now it’s gone back into the economy instead of sitting in a bank account.

They also donated £26 million to various charities. The obscenity!

dottiedodah · 04/07/2026 11:22

The80sweregreat They have given 20m dollars of their own money to charity .Iike TS very much and feel she is a genuinely good person

Why is wasted? She’s a multi billionaire. It’s their money to spend how they like.
The money will have paid people to provide goods and services. Why is that a bad thing?

the80sweregreat · 04/07/2026 11:23

Yep, they seem very aware of their privilege and give loads to charity.

I have a habit of drunk posting (I know), but thank you for the explanation. I will Google the names and discover who they are.

Never heard of Taylor Swift? Come on, did you arrive from space an hour ago and just discovered google? Wait until you hear about Donald Trump 😆

ClinkeyMonkey · 04/07/2026 11:25

Christ. The thread title kept coming to my attention on Active. I avoided it because, even though I had no idea who or what it was about, I instinctively knew it would irritate the hell out of me. Why did I cave?🤣

I wouldn’t call it a decoy. I’d call it the ‘public’ version (by which I mean the massive celebration with all their celebrity guests) of a small and private marriage ceremony that’s already taken place.

I read that there’s no application for a marriage license in MSG filed on this date, so whatever they’re doing inside it isn’t the official stuff.

Agree with PP that MSG was ideal to avoid the drones, helicopters etc. And NYC can deal with the disruption caused by an influx of paparazzi and required security in a way that a small rural town near a ranch could not.

Personally I’m more interested in her music than her life (but I’ve said on the LOAS thread that I did not need a song about his dick). I am interested in her frock!

I agree with your general sentiment about them, the wedding and why MSG makes some sense.

I read that there’s no application for a marriage license in MSG filed on this date, so whatever they’re doing inside it isn’t the official stuff.

But as a New Yorker, who was married in NYC, the date, time and location are filled out by the officiant or clerk after the wedding.

Re road closures - they get closed all the time for all kinds of things. No biggie.

Exactly. Woman uses her talent and hard work to become a billionaire, donates shitloads to charity all over the world, gives her crew life-changing amounts in bonuses, pulls off a commercial masterstroke to regain her masters which creates a system for other artists to benefit from and people are STILL finding things to froth about 🤷‍♀️
