As well as releasing ‘I Knew It, I Knew You’ for the soundtrack of the new Toy Story film earlier this month, Swift has been busy planning her wedding to fiancé Travis Kelce, the tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs American football team.
She was also recently spotted celebrating the Knicks’ recent victory with the HAIM sisters, notably while wearing a shirt that read “Stevie Nicks”, which many have taken as an Easter egg about her upcoming nuptials.
Now, reports from Page Six and Rolling Stone have seen multiple sources claim that not only will Nicks be in attendance, but will be performing at the ceremony. Their friendship is well-documented, with Swift saying she was “very lucky” to have the guidance of Nicks last year.
The two also went on a celebratory night in Dublin after Swift wrapped a three-show run in the city on her ‘Eras Tour’ trek in 2024, and, the same night that they were pictured at the Hacienda bar, Nicks was seen looking visibly emotional at Swift’s concert after she performed ‘Midnights‘ track ‘You’re On Your Own, Kid’.

The Fleetwood Mac frontwoman previously thanked the singer-songwriter for penning the song, because it captured how she felt about losing Christine McVie. Elsewhere in that set, Swift dedicated the live debut of ‘Clara Bow’ to Nicks, the first time ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ track had been played live.
Wedding plans have so far been shrouded in secrecy, but further details emerged this week with a New York Times report that revealed a permit had been filed with New York City to close the streets around Madison Square Garden for an event on July 3, which points further towards the city’s arena as the chosen venue.
The Times additionally reported that festivities will kick off on July 2 with “an intimate gathering of about 100 people” followed by a larger event that will include “about 1,000 guests” the next day.
Before those reports appeared to confirm the date, New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani appeared to have let it slip that the ceremony would be held in the city in early July.
At a press conference last week (June 17), the mayor was asked about the steps the city has taken to keep NYC safe over the next month – with the FIFA World Cup final set to be held on July 19 at MetLife Stadium, and expected to welcome around 80,000 fans to the venue for one of the biggest nights in sport.
“We are the biggest city in the country. We are used to big events, and we are incredibly excited for this one.” He continued, adding the other events that are taking place around that timeframe: “We know it coincides with July 4th, America 250, Taylor Swift’s wedding, all happening at the same time… And we are so excited to welcome the world here.”
Swift’s recently released track for Toy Story marks her first material since her 12th and latest studio album, last year’s ‘The Life Of A Showgirl’.
Swift gave ‘I Knew It, I Knew You’ its live debut when she made a surprise appearance at the Toy Story 5 premiere, and also joined Randy Newman to perform a duet of the franchise’s original main theme, ‘You’ve Got a Friend in Me’.
She called the sequel “insanely beautiful” at the event, adding: “It’s a masterpiece.” Swift explained (via Variety): “It means the world to me to be a small part of the universe of these films. Toy Story 5 is my favourite of all the Toy Storys. I’m so lucky I get to be a part of this.”
Meanwhile, Swift was spotted leaving Electric Lady Studios in New York following a nine-hour overnight recording session earlier this week. She was with Haim‘s Alana and Danielle Haim.
