Madison Square Garden’s corporate employees are banned from the arena ahead of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s highly anticipated wedding, Page Six has exclusively learned.

“MSG is off limits to all corporate employees this week,” a source told us Tuesday, adding that the employees “were not given a reason why it’s a no-go zone.”

According to our source, the employees will be able to return to work July 5.

Reps for MSG, Swift and Kelce did not immediately respond to our requests for comment.

New details of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s rehearsal dinner revealed ahead of MSG wedding

Meanwhile, TMZ reported that staffers who work in the event production department are not allowed to have their phones on them, presumably so they can’t take pictures of the setup.

The employees — who don’t know details about the event at hand — are also reportedly wearing wristbands and have to go through an extra layer of security when they show up for work.

Event staff is scheduled to be in the building early Friday morning, per the outlet. 

As Page Six previously reported, Swift and Kelce are set to wed at the 20,000-seat New York City arena in the coming days.

Insiders told us a more intimate event will take place Thursday, with some describing it as a rehearsal dinner with 100 of the couple’s closest family members and friends.

We were told the pair would host a larger celebration the following day for about 1,000 guests who would be treated to performances by Stevie Knicks and Tim McGraw.

“Everyone’s been sworn to secrecy,” one informant previously revealed to us, as invitees reportedly had to sign a nondisclosure agreement before confirming their attendance.

MSG — which notably has no events on its calendar from June 29 through July 6 — has multiple entrances and a highly secure infrastructure, which lets the duo prioritize privacy and safety.

Moreover, City Hall recently confirmed to The Post that a permit application was filed with the Big Apple’s Street Activity Permit Office for July 2 to July 4.

The permit, filed by Winick Productions — a prominent event planning company — requested both street closures around MSG and a large tent or canopy outside the arena.

Vendor trucks have been using 33rd Street to load and unload items, as Page Six has seen drapery, lights, chairs, tables and even a “40-inch mirror ball” being delivered to the premises.
