Madison Square Garden is in full prep mode for what appears to be Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s rehearsal dinner tonight—not to mention their wedding tomorrow. And with just hours left to go before dinner kicks off, props and supplies are still being unloaded from trucks on the street. Including what looks to be a giant bed? Though The Sun notes that “signage on the box was labeled as ‘VIP Bar 1,’” which seems to indicate that the bed-shaped item is a bar prop versus a place for guests to lounge.

Madison Square Garden is reportedly being turned into a magical fairy-tale garden for Taylor and Travis’s wedding, and a source tells Us Weekly that the evening will be “whimsical” and “inspired by fairytales.” DeuxMoi also reports that the ceremony and reception will be a “magical midsummer night.”

Buuut as for those claims that Taylor is building a straight-up castle inside MSG, apparently not so much. A source tells People that there’s “Not a castle but it looks very special. They have grass, carpets and canopies, and it looks like a place where you’d get married. There's a stage set up, but it's special."

Another source adds “absolutely not” about the rumor, emphasizing, “There’s no castle being built. Not at all.”
