Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce's wedding plan may be a secret to their own guests ... but it seems the NYPD may have a timeline ... or at least some private info about the event of the century.

NBC New York captured photos of one of New York's Finest holding a booklet with "Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce Wedding" and "Thursday 7/2" scrawled across the front.

There are other words written on the front -- and a photo -- which are hard to make out in the pics snapped by reporters. It's unclear what's in the booklet.

New York Knicks champion Jeremy Sochan is looking to keep the good times rolling at Madison Square Garden ... begging for an invite to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding party.

The NBA baller took his shot in a social media post, reacting to a report about the Knicks starting 5 scoring invites to Taylor's MSG wedding.

Jeremy, who played a whopping 3 minutes in the NBA Finals, asked Knicks starter Josh Hart if he could be his plus one.

They already snagged themselves an NBA championship, but the New York Knicks starting 5 might've just scored something more elusive ... an invite to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding!

Josh Hart, Mikal Bridges, OG Anunoby, Karl-Anthony Towns, and Jalen Brunson are all on the list for Tayvis' 1,000-person party at Madison Square Garden on Friday ... according to Page Six.

A source told the outlet Taylor and Travis have invited "the starting lineup for the Knicks" to their enormous wedding event ... just weeks after Taylor cheered them on in Game Four.

She's already got the massive castle and white staircase ... but it looks like Taylor Swift's love story won't be complete without adding a gazebo into the mix.

TMZ obtained video of crews loading what appears to be a gazebo into Madison Square Garden ... just days ahead of the huge 1,000-person event the pop star is throwing for her wedding weekend with Travis Kelce.

Taylor's clearly transforming MSG into a real-life fairy tale ... as you know, she's rolling out a purple carpet on the steps of the venue.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding celebration will be something out of a movie ... because they've hired a renowned set-building company for the giant Madison Square Garden bash.

We obtained video from outside MSG Wednesday, showing boxes marked "Konduit NYC" being unloaded ... an interesting development because that company has been building sets for movie, TV, and commercial shoots for decades.

We called Konduit ... and they confirmed they are working on a site project lasting until tomorrow ... which is when Taylor and Travis are having their wedding rehearsal -- but wouldn't say if it was MSG.

"Malcolm in the Middle" star and NASCAR driver Frankie Muniz is racing away from the married life ... he says he's separated from his wife and moving forward with ending their marriage.

Frankie announced his split from Paige Price in a social media post Wednesday, saying ... "After 10 beautiful years together, we've grown in ways that made us realize our relationship feels most natural and strong as a deep friendship and as co-parents."

Frankie adds ... "I'm endlessly grateful to Paige for everything she's done for me and our family. She has put her own dreams on hold so I could chase mine, and she was always my biggest supporter."

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce won't have any bad blood between hangry patrons at their wedding this weekend ... because food for the event was just delivered ... and it's everything you could want at an intimate rehearsal dinner and 1,000+ person party.

Boxes are being rolled off a truck at Madison Square Garden as we speak ... and, thankfully, they're labeled -- so we can tell you everything the guests can sample.

We saw pounds of lobster meat being wheeled in ... and that's not all.

According to pics taken by Page Six ... chicken prepared multiple ways -- blackened, boneless and skinless breasts and legs -- french fries, thick-cut onion rings, peppers, romaine, eggs, heavy whipping cream and whole milk were delivered.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce aren't just throwing a wedding ... they're building what looks like the grand opening of a private amusement park.

The latest addition ... a giant piece of equipment rolled into Madison Square Garden on Wednesday with a bright green label that reads simply ... "Golf."

TMZ has already reported on crews building a castle, hauling in massive white staircases, and delivering heaps of food as they unload truckload after truckload ... and at this point, the fairy tale wedding is starting to feel like a one-stop destination where guests can do just about everything.

Taylor Swift and her team are going overboard to keep folks from catching any clues about her upcoming nuptials to Travis Kelce ... video shows massive black tarps going up outside Madison Square Garden, seemingly to stop those prying eyes.

MSG is abuzz with a flurry of activity as preparations continue for Friday's seemingly castle-themed wedding ... and now it looks like Taylor's had enough of curious folks seeing what's being unloaded and carried inside.

As you can see, massive black tarps are now covering the loading bays outside MSG. Another photo shows what appears to be a large fake tree being unloaded.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding is shaping up to be crazy expensive ... and that's not even counting the roughly $160,000 it's going to cost for police assigned to work two events at Madison Square Garden.

Our high-ranking NYPD sources tell us there are going to be over 70 detectives from precincts all across the city assigned to Thursday's rehearsal and Friday's wedding ... and they'll be working 8.5 hour shifts at $80 to $90 an hour.

We'll spare you the math ... that's $95,200 on the low end.

In addition, we're told there will be over 50 police officers assigned to MSG as well ... they're mostly rookies making $70 an hour for a 9-hour shift ... which would be another $63,000.

Our sources say some NYPD higher-ups in will also be working ... so the salary figure should push over $160K.

Taylor Swift is one step closer to saying "I do" ... literally.

TMZ obtained video of a giant white staircase being craned into Madison Square Garden -- and at first glance, it looks like it could be another piece of the fairytale castle set being built for her wedding to Travis Kelce.

By now, it's clear Taylor didn't just rent out MSG -- she rented a blank canvas. The iconic venue has been transformed into a giant, windowless fantasy world that's being rebuilt from the ground up.

3:18 PM PT -- TMZ obtained video of a giant white staircase being craned into Madison Square Garden -- and at first glance, it looks like it could be another piece of the fairytale castle set being built for her wedding to Travis Kelce.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding is already looking like America's answer to a royal wedding ... and now, TMZ has learned it'll even come with its own castle!

Sources close to the wedding tell TMZ ... a massive castle is being built inside a garden at MSG, with the legendary venue being transformed into a full-blown fairytale for the big July 3 wedding event.

What's more, crews were spotted unloading giant, covered scenic pieces labeled "Garden Party 1 (Scenic)" and spray-painted "GP" outside the venue ... all arriving, fittingly, at Madison Square GARDEN!!😱

Madison Square Garden is disappearing behind layers of fabric ... all in the name of Taylor Swift's fairy tale wedding.

Sources connected to the wedding setup tell TMZ ... the event crew got to work Monday, and nearly all of the effort so far has gone into draping the entire arena. We're told workers have been tirelessly hanging fabric from the ceiling and even wrapping the perimeter of the arena floor as they build out Taylor and Travis Kelce's vision.

The makeover is so extensive, sources say it's become clear Taylor didn't simply rent MSG -- she rented a giant, windowless space she could completely reinvent. In fact, we're told guests will walk inside and quickly forget they're even in the world-famous arena.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce don't want the red carpet rolled out for them for their wedding event at Madison Square Garden ... they want purple carpet instead, even if workers have to start from scratch.

The color change is underway right now at Madison Square Garden, where workers are pulling up the red carpet they laid down earlier today on a set of stairs outside the arena.

Our photog took this video and was told the carpet is supposed to be purple, not red ... hence the frantic change.

Madison Square Garden employees are being cut off from the outside world while setting things up for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's mega-bash this week ... because they're not allowed to have their phones while they work.

Employees who work in event production for MSG tell us ... they can't have their phones during the shift, and while they haven't been told why, it's presumably so they can't take pictures of the setup.

We're also told employees are wearing wrist bands -- which is out of the ordinary -- and they have to go through an extra layer of security when they show up to work.

Phil Mickelson's wife is standing firmly in his corner ... as the embattled pro golfer is in the middle of a d*** pic controversy.

A rep for Phil told reporters his wife, Amy Mickelson, supports her husband with "with extraordinary grace" and "unwavering love."

The statement comes after pro golfer Pat Perez's ex-wife, Ashley Perez, claimed Phil showed her a photo of his erect penis and propositioned her back in the day.
