NYC is bracing for thousands of die-hard Swifties to camp outside Madison Square Garden over the next two days in a brutal 100-degree heatwave -- and, no shade, but Taylor Swift and her team haven't applied for the permit needed to get fans extra heat relief!

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... city officials are worried about the health and safety of the crowds gathering outside MSG while Taylor and Travis Kelce tie the knot inside the air-conditioned arena.

We're told those fans are gonna need water, electrolytes, misting stations, and cooling vans just to survive the scorching conditions -- and without it, they may fall ill or pass out.

Break a leg, Freedom 250 performers ... but keep an eye on the sky, too -- because it seems the stage is already coming apart.

Video is now circulating online that shows a dance troupe spinning around the stage while singers belt out a jazzy tune from back in the day ... and then a piece of the stage comes crashing down from above.

The falling panel nearly lands on top of a couple of dancers, who only barely move out of the way in the nick time.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce won't be jetting off on a honeymoon-style getaway after getting married ... because they have more wedding plans on the horizon ... TMZ has learned they'll be celebrating an NFL star's upcoming nuptials.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Taylor and Travis are expected to attend New York Giants wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster's wedding to Laura Kruk on July 10 at the Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel in Orange County, California.

We're told the guest list is stacked with NFL stars ... including Patrick and Brittany Mahomes, Isiah Pacheco, Kendrick Bourne, George Karlaftis, Tyquan Thornton, and Jacob Tuioti-Mariner.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are staying tight-lipped about their wedding ... but we're piecing the puzzle together for you.

With rumors running rampant, it can be tricky to keep up with what's real and what's not, so we've rounded up everything you need to know about the upcoming nuptials.

Keep reading for the latest details on the wedding of the century!

Madison Square Garden's biggest delivery isn't coming in on a truck ... it's Mama Kelce, who just rolled up after flying into town.

Donna Kelce has officially arrived in New York ahead of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's massive wedding celebration. The mother of the groom landed Thursday morning ... flashing a smile as she made her way through the airport, but staying mum on the big day.

TMZ has learned Donna wasted no time getting to where the action is ... we're told one of Taylor's drivers picked Donna up ... then drove her straight to the Garden.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have donated $26 million to various charities across America ahead of their NYC nuptials this weekend ... and we know where the money is going.

The happy couple scattered some of their spare change across 20 organizations between New York City, Los Angeles, Nashville, Kansas City, Cleveland, Rhode Island, and even Taylor Swift's hometown of Reading, Pennsylvania.

Taylor and Travis donated $2 million to the music education nonprofit Education Through Music ... their CEO Janice Wineman tells us.

Janice says the money will be put to good work, helping Education Through Music expand its reach to underserved children across New York City, hire more teachers, and provide instruments to children in need.

Justin Bieber may be headed to one of the biggest stages in sports ... 'cause TMZ has learned he's in talks to perform at halftime of the FIFA World Cup final.

FIFA World Cup sources tell TMZ ... FIFA officials are discussing bringing Justin aboard an already stacked lineup featuring Madonna, Shakira and BTS for the July 19 spectacle at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

Bringing the Biebs into the fold would make sense for FIFA.

Justin and Hailey Bieber were front and center at the FIFA World Cup opening ceremony in Inglewood, CA just a few weeks ago ... and Justin even surprised VIP guests with an intimate backstage performance of "Yukon."

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce apparently don't have a "no exes at the wedding" rule ... because Harry Styles got the invite ... even though he had to shake it off.

According to a new report from Variety ... the pair invited the British pop star to their mega event this weekend in New York City ... but Harry won't be there.

The outlet says Harry is too busy on his "Together, Together" tour to swing by the wedding festivities ... he's scheduled to play shows in London at Wembley Stadium this weekend with special guest Shania Twain.

George Kittle has touched down for one of the biggest weekends of his NFL buddy's life ... the San Francisco 49ers star was spotted in NYC ahead of Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift's wedding festivities ... and he's representing for all the NFL tight ends.

The NFL star and his wife, Claire, were photographed strolling through Manhattan on Thursday ... and as you can see, Kittle kept it casual in a camo hat, shorts, and a Greg Olsen T-shirt -- a nod to his fellow "Tight End University" co-founder.

The sighting comes after TMZ obtained a photo of the Kittles at Nashville International Airport carrying what appeared to be his blue suit in bag.

Kittle's made it clear he's wearing a blue suit to the wedding ... but it's scorching hot in the Big Apple, so he's enjoying some comfier clothing for as long as he can.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce aren't exempt from Mayor Zohran Mamdani's 78-degree suggestion ... though they'll have to "Shake It Off" anyway ... because MSG has an unconventional temperature system.

Here's the deal ... a city official tells TMZ the mayor's recommendation of setting the AC at 78 was a suggestion for all five boroughs of New York -- including Manhattan, where MSG sits.

In other words, MSG isn't exempt from the mayor's suggestion made on social media to all New Yorkers this morning ... though, again, it's just a suggestion -- not an edict from above.

It's Saweetie's 33rd birthday ... and she has some sweet surprises to share with us for her special day.

Take a look at the gallery ... Saweetie is serving up some beachside hotness to make you hot around the collar. Guess this rapper's bars aren't the only things that are heat ... we can list a couple of other things that come to mind.

Saweetie has a lot of ways to dazzle us ... whether it's in a sexy pink flower bikini with a bunch of crosses dangling from her neck ... or a hot AF black leopard print two-piece bikini.

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.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding ain't the only party in town -- Michael Rubin held his annual Fourth of July White Party in the Hamptons Wednesday night ... and the turnout was star-studded.

Check out TMZ's clips -- you can see the who's who in Hollywood flooded into Rubin's ultra-luxe $50 million oceanfront estate in the ritzy area of New York. Our cameras caught Jake Paul, Teyana Taylor, Mike Tyson, DJ Khaled, Alicia Keys, Shaboozey and more familiar faces enjoying the evening.

Rubin's iconic shindig seemingly went down without missing a beat ... after he told People he did NOT move the date from Independence Day to July 1 due to Taylor and Travis' wedding this weekend.

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.

Pete Davidson hit pause on diaper duty ... and hit up one of the hottest invites of the summer, Michael Rubin's Fourth of July White Party ... and by the time he got home, he looked exhausted.

Check out this pic -- Pete's at a New York City heliport around 3 AM ... fresh off a night in the Hamptons at Rubin's celeb-packed bash.

Pete kept his all-white fit comfy ... rocking a hoodie, sweats and the adidas T-Mac 2s ... with a light pink backpack adding the only splash of color.

The 'SNL' alum looks like he's all partied out ... and totally drained.

Madonna laid it all out in her new album "Confessions II" ... and it sounds like she's taking savage, surprising shots at her ex-husband Sean Penn.

In the song "Bizarre," the pop icon sounds like she's throwing several jabs at Sean -- they were married for 3 years in the '80s -- seemingly saying the Oscar-winner was "threatened by her" level of fame and that he couldn't handle sharing the spotlight with with her ... among other insults about resentment.

To be clear ... Madonna doesn't use Sean's name ... but the lyrics "movie star, deep blue eyes," along with other obvious hints, sure make it sounds like she is singing about Spicoli.
