The Clare Byrne Show on Newstalk. With Aviva Insurance.
And we are staying with New York now because Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey are hosting their multi-million dollar wedding celebration at Madison Square Garden in New York City over the 4th of July weekend, or so we believe. I mean, that is the very strong rumor at this stage. And on foot of that, we asked Henry McKean to go to Manhattan in the heat wave that is currently happening there. And just so he could try and get into the wedding, really, and see what's happening. Good morning, Henry.
Good morning, Claire. Good morning from New York City.
What is the wedding of the year that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are hosting?
And yeah, it's 39 degrees. That's how much it will reach today. It is stifling.
But it's worth it, is it?
There is air conditioning. There's air conditioning that does help. But yeah, I'm in all eyes yesterday and this morning on this wedding. There's going to be so many more deliveries today. Remember, we are five hours behind. But there's dozens of trucks delivering things like trees, food, flowers. There's been road closures. They're actually making it quite difficult for journalists to see what exactly is going on inside Madison Square Garden. We think it's going to cost up to $20 million. We expect a rehearsal dinner today with about 100 people. And then tomorrow, the actual wedding will be 1,000 people. There's going to be big guests coming. Again, I haven't got the guest list yet. Well, you're not honest.
That's the main thing I'm worried about. But Henry, up until I'm speaking to you today, I thought all of this was rumour, that nothing had been confirmed. Are you telling us now that this is definitely going ahead this weekend?
Well, we think it's going to go ahead. I can't say 100%. What I can say is 90% it's going to go ahead, speaking to people on the ground here, speaking to officials. And you're right, the guest list, we don't know exactly who's on the guest list. There's loads of speculation. We think the Kansas City Chiefs are going to be here. We think the New York Knicks will be here too. Sabrina Carpenter, Ed Sheeran, Stevie Nicks could perform.
What challenges is Henry facing in Manhattan's heatwave?
And it will be black tie, Claire. And I didn't bring my tuxedo, but I can still get one. I can still buy one here. With shorts. Excited. Well, I'm in shorts. I'm in shorts and a T-shirt. We all are in this heat. And again, I'll have to bring a towel just because of the actual warmth. It's just so sweaty.
I'm Henry McKean. I'm here for the wedding with my towel. Classy, Henry. I think it might work. It might get you in. It might do you instead of a ticket, actually. It'd be so novel.
Oh, well, this is it. This is the invitation of all invitations. They've compared it to a royal wedding. Here is an excited Taylor Swift superfan. You're a Swiftie. How excited are you about this wedding, if it is a wedding, happening behind us?
What preparations are being made for the wedding at Madison Square Garden?
I am super excited. I'm a New Yorker. Love Taylor Swift. I think these guys need to get married as soon as possible. And the fact that she chose New York of all the places, you've got this beautiful mansion in Rhode Island, but she wants to get married here. I'm totally going to be camping out just to see her. Absolutely. It's 40 degrees. Who cares? I get like cold water. I'll do whatever. But just to see her. Oh my God. Totally hands down. Anything to see her.
So you are excited. Is this the wedding of the century?
It probably is. I mean, I think other people really have had a good wedding, like Jeff Bezos and stuff.
Who are the expected celebrity guests at the wedding?
But this is real. This is not fake news. This is a real wedding. This is real news. I mean, she's had, what, like eight, nine boyfriends? It's the first one that she's been with, like, for three years. Two years, three years, three years, August 2023. Absolutely the best wedding of the century. So you're going to just keep an eye out, camp out? 150%. Not just me. There's so many of us. We're all New Yorkers. We're all going to be around here. It's going to be like it says. It's going to be an economic engine. People are going to have water, dances. There's going to be all kinds of merchandise. Everything you can think of.
