The impending wedding of pop superstar Taylor Swift and NFL tight end Travis Kelce at Madison Square Garden is reportedly causing apprehension among local businesses.

Several independent bars and restaurants in the vicinity of MSG have voiced concerns, primarily due to a lack of communication regarding the event's logistics and potential impact.

Business owners expressed that they have not received any information about the wedding, including details on security measures that might be implemented for such a high-profile event.

This lack of communication has led to worries about potential disruptions, especially given the scale of the couple's celebrity.

Some establishments are reportedly dreading the wedding, drawing parallels to past events that led to area lockdowns, such as a presidential visit for a Knicks game.

One small business owner on West 31st Street noted that while security for events like the NBA Finals still draws crowds, they do not anticipate a similar turnout of customers for the wedding day.

Another owner with a business on West 33rd Street expressed irritation, suggesting that even if unintentional, the wedding could deter many people from the area during a holiday weekend, coinciding with the World Cup.

This owner even floated the idea that the couple should consider compensating small businesses if there is a substantial negative impact.

A third business owner on West 31st Street light-heartedly suggested that it wasn't too late for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce to choose an alternative wedding venue.

The concerns highlight the potential challenges that large-scale celebrity events can pose for local commerce, particularly when information about security and crowd management is not readily available to affected parties.
