Taylor Swift Wedding

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce might be getting married at Madison Square Garden after all ... though it may still be a more intimate affair than the 1,000-person event that's also going down.

TMZ has confirmed the pair is having a gathering of around 100 people on July 2 ... the day before the main wedding celebration is set to go down. The New York Times was the first to report this news.

It's unclear what the pair plan to do on July 2 ... but, given it's a smaller group before a wedding celebration, it seems highly likely this could be the actual wedding itself -- or perhaps a welcome bash for close friends and family.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are keepin' quiet when it comes to their wedding plans ... but New York City's permit office might be doing the talking for them.

The couple is planning a massive July 3 wedding event at Madison Square Garden ... and now it looks like our reporting is being backed up with paperwork ... sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ a permit was filed with NYC to close streets around MSG from July 2 through midday July 4 -- for a July 3 event.

But, they said they have no clue where the big celebration will be held ... and are only confident that George will be in a blue suit.

As we reported ... Taylor and Travis rented out New York City's Madison Square Garden for at least 3 days in July, with the wedding celebration expected to fall on July 3. They dished out a pretty penny for the venue -- our sources tell us it cost millions ... and comes with a 1,000+ guest list.
