Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s Friends Spotted in NYC Before Wedding: Who’s Been Seen So Far?

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s loved ones have been spotted in New York City as speculation grows about the pair’s upcoming nuptials.
Swift and Kelce, who announced their engagement in 2025, have been rumored to be tying the knot in New York City’s Madison Square Garden over the July 4 weekend. Us Weekly previously reported that guests invited to the couple’s nuptials were told to be in the Big Apple on July 2 and 3 — but further details remain under wraps.
“Taylor and Travis told guests to be in NYC. No other location was provided,” a source exclusively told Us in late June.
The insider shared that the pop star and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end planned to celebrate tying the knot over the course of two days. “They’re putting their guests on hold for a couple days,” the source said. “They are spending a lot of money — in the millions.”
Swift and Kelce have not publicly disclosed any information about their wedding. During a recent episode of his and brother Jason Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast, Travis made headlines when he said that 4th of July celebrations can produce “great memories.”
“4th of July weekend is right around the corner,” Kelce later began an Expedia ad break. “We all have that one 4th of July trip we still talk about. … The one that turned a long weekend into a core memory.”

Why the Spurs Should Be Thrilled They Signed Tobias Harris
Why the Spurs Should Be Thrilled They Signed Tobias Harris
The veteran forward brings size, shooting, and two-way versatility on a reasonable contract for both him and the Spurs. Will Harris start over Julian Champagnie? And does this slam the door on the possibility of LeBron in San Antonio?Tom Petrini|

San Antonio SpursSAN ANTONIO -- The Spurs' search for a veteran power forward seems to be over, as Tobias Harris is reportedly coming to San Antonio.
On Wednesday afternoon, a little less than 24 hours after the official start of free agency, ESPN's Shams Charania broke the news that Harris will be heading to the Alamo City on a two-year contract worth $31 million. That will likely be the full non-taxpayer mid-level exception, which is the biggest salary slot at San Antonio's disposal this offseason.

What Does Harris Bring?
Harris is about to turn 34, coming off a productive two-year stint in Detroit as he helped the Pistons return to relevance and the playoffs. Last season he averaged 13.3 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 0.9 steals, and 0.4 blocks while shooting 47% from the floor and 37% from three on 3.5 attempts per game. In the most recent playoff run, he bumped his averages up to 18.1 points and 7.2 rebounds per game, though his efficiency dipped a bit.
The Spurs made it all the way to the NBA Finals just a few weeks ago, but they fell short of hoisting the trophy and it was clear they could have used another player with experience and size on the wing, someone who can space the floor, rebound and defend. Harris fits that need perfectly, and as an added bonus he can also create his own shot, get to his spot and knock down middies.
At 6-foot-8 and around 230 pounds, Harris adds size, versatility, and reliable production at the power forward spot. With 15 seasons in the NBA, he instantly becomes the oldest player and one of the most experienced veterans on a team that lost the Finals in large part due to their youth and inexperience showing at the worst time. He figures to play more minutes than Harrison Barnes and Luke Kornet did in the most recent postseason.
ESPN's Brian Windhorst called the pickup a good bit of business for the Spurs, and noted that Harris is one of the most well-liked teammates in the league who probably won't complain if his role fluctuates. That raises the question: What will Harris' role be to start next season in San Antonio?
Will Harris Start or Come Off Bench?
Of all the players the Spurs could have gotten (outside of LeBron), Harris is the most seasoned, the most accomplished, the most likely to disrtupt the starting lineup that brought San Antonio to the Finals.
Julian Champagnie supplanted Harrison Barnes as the starting 4 last season in a move that paid dividends for San Antonio. Champagnie proved his worth with his shooting, rebounding and defense, and the Spurs rewarded him in the offseason by declining his team option worth $3 million and giving him a new, front-loaded deal worth $45 million over the next three seasons.
The salaries are virtually the same. Champagnie offers more shooting, but Harris offers more size and a more versatile scoring arsenal. The Spurs might not even know right now who they plan to start at the four this season.
If it's Harris, the depth chart would look something like this:
- PG: Fox, Harper
- SG: Castle, Champagnie
- SF: Vassell, Johnson
- PF: Harris, Bryant, Barnes
- C: Wembanyama, Kornet, Reed, Quaintance
If it's Champagnie starting, it looks a little wonkier.
- PG: Fox, Harper
- SG: Castle,
- SF: Vassell, Johnson
- PF: Champagnie, Harris, Bryant, Barnes
- C: Wembanyama, Kornet, Reed, Quaintance
Harris starting would send Champagnie to the bench, but allow him to play more of his natural position of a small forward or shooting guard. It's 2026 and positions don't really matter, but no matter who starts the Spurs could probably stand to add another playable guard.
Why This Contract?
According to Marc Stein and Jake Fischer, the Spurs made it clear to players on the market that they weren't interested in committing to a contract longer than two years. The two-year deal for Harris will come off the books right as a contract extension for Stephon Castle would be kicking in on top of De'Aaron Fox's and Victor Wembanyama's.
Of the other players San Antonio reportedly had their eyes on, all of them are under 30 and almost all of them have signed lucritive deals for three years or more. Dean Wade got four years and $39 million from the 76ers. The Pistons knew they were losing Harris, and they're bringing in John Collins for three years at $51 million. Rui Hachimura hasn't signed yet, but the Lakers committed four years and $52 million to former Spur Sandro Mamukelashvili. These guys are all in their primes, and it makes sense to seek as much guaranteed money and years as possible.
He's a better player than everyone listed above, but as he's about to turn 34, Harris knows that good teams probably don't want to commit to him long term. The Spurs offer his best chance to win a championship and one more solid contract before he may be playing for the veteran minimum.
On the Spurs' side of the ledger, giving Harris the full mid-level exception does nothing to limit their long-term flexibility. He won't put them into the luxury tax, so that repeater clock won't start this year. The dreaded first and second aprons are even further away.
How do you feel about the Spurs getting Tobias Harris for 2 years, $31 million?

What About LeBron?
Well, the fantasy was fun while it lasted. As Marc Stein reports, and as logic dictates, signing Harris signals that San Antonio is not interested in pursuing LeBron James in free agency.
Even at 41 The King is the main story of free agency, leaving the Lakers and fielding pitches from about a dozen teams according to Shams Charania. The Spurs could have made a convincing case that they'd give James the best chance to win his fifth ring, and though no mutual interest was reported from credible sources it seemed logical that both parties would be intrigued by the potential.
If there's even a remote chance of bringing in LeBron James for $15 million a year, any NBA GM would be derelict in their duty if they didn't do their due diligince, so it's likely that Brian Wright at least looked into it.
As of Wednesday it seemed clear that the Warriors Cavaliers and Heat are at the top of the board, and most of the league's newsbreakers feel that LeBron will take his time.
As cool as it would have been to bring LeBron to San Antonio, the Spurs don't need to make a seismic move for a star like that to compete for a title next year. If they threw their hat in the ring, watched the process drag out and wound up without LeBron, Harris might have already signed with one of the other teams interested in retaining his services.
Instead of getting stuck with a salary slot for $15 million and nobody worth giving the money to, the Spurs decided to focus on getting the best player available for the role that they needed filled. That's why Tobias Harris is heading to San Antonio.

Knicks' Major Draft Blunder Looks Even Worse to Begin Free Agency
Knicks' Major Draft Blunder Looks Even Worse to Begin Free Agency
The Knicks' strange draft looks worse nowIsaiah De Los Santos|
In this story:
New York KnicksIn just a few hours, the Knicks' center situation has turned bleak. It began with the news that Ariel Hukporti would be leaving for the 76ers. Then it was Mitchell Robinson breaking hearts by agreeing to join the Celtics.
That leaves Karl-Anthony Towns as the only big man on New York's roster and few appealing options left in free agency. It's a mess, and one the Knicks could've completely avoided in the draft.
Knicks' strange NBA draft is now haunting them after Mitchell Robinson, Ariel Hukporti exits
The overwhelming thought when the Knicks entered the late-June draft was that the team would target a young center. They had more than enough picks to do so, owning Nos. 24, 31 and 55 ahead of the event.
Yet Leon Rose decided to cook, but he may have burned New York in the process. While picking up four future seconds is nice, and marksman Tyler Nickel could help, it can't be ignored that Rose's several trades led to the team not coming away with a single center when it was all said and done.
Skilled big men like UConn's Tarris Reed Jr. (No. 26 pick) and Houston Chris Cenac Jr. (No. 27) were still available when the Knicks decided to trade out of the No. 24 and 25 selections. In the second round, Rose had plenty of opportunities to select centers like Felix Okpara (No. 46 pick), Izayiah Nelson (No. 51) or Henri Veesaar (No. 52).
When the Knicks finally did select a big in Virginia's Ugonna Onyeso at No. 53, they then traded him away minutes later for just cash considerations. That's not even to mention the fact the team's top pick was a guard in Jack Kayil at No. 39, and he's now being stashed overseas, so more instant center helped was passed on to land him instead.
While New York's maneuvering can be chalked up to second-apron avoidance, this doesn't hold up when looking at the second round. None of those deals after the first round are guaranteed, and anyone past the 40th overall pick is a two-way contract candidate, which doesn't count against the team's cap.
Even if the team had hopes it could retain Robinson or Hukporti, drafting some insurance was the easiest variable it could control. Any player selected didn't even have to infringe on either of the incumbent bigs, especially if they would spend a majority of their time in the G League.
Simply put, the Knicks punted on a golden opportunity to add center talent for no good basketball reason. There were affordable ways to still go about adding a big man, which wouldn't have gotten in the way of possibly keeping Robinson and/or Hukporti.
Now, not only does the team have two huge holes, but there aren't many alluring guys left to fill those needs. New York also lost a promising developmental project in Hukporti, so it's short on both immediate successors and a potential long-term one to develop, both of which could've been solved through the draft.
Surely Rose and his front office have considered this outcome as a possibility. But given the unexpected way free agency has gone to this point, they may not have the answers they were hoped were available, either.
At the every least, this sudden center debacle—which was completely avoidable and a true unforced error—does raise some questions about how Rose is operating this offseason to still field a championship-worthy team.
