The Kansas City Chiefs are looking to get back to the playoffs after missing out on the postseason for the first time in the Patrick Mahomes era last season. Superstar tight end Travis Kelce has forgone his expected retirement to return to the franchise and get at least one more crack at hoisting the Lombardi Trophy.
However, in the meantime, Kelce’s priorities likely aren’t football-related. The future Hall of Famer is slated to marry global pop sensation Taylor Swift this summer, with reports indicating that the star-studded event will take place in the heart of New York City at Madison Square Garden.
Unfortunately, some horrific news has been confirmed near the venue in the weeks leading up to the tying of the knot.
[According to _TMZ_](https://www.tmz.com/2026/06/08/penn-station-stabbing-near-taylor-swift-travis-kelce-wedding-venue-msg/), there was a violent outburst at the nearby TMZ, with someone attacking five others with a knife, which raises concerns around whether there will be adequate security measures taken for Swift and Kelce’s wedding.
People reacted to the horrific news on social media.
“Tragic incident near the venue. Hoping for swift recovery for the victims and tight security for Taylor & Travis’s big day,” one person wrote on Twitter.
“Getting married at MSG is incredibly cringe,” someone else added, seemingly not interested at all with recent events.
“Death and violence occurs everywhere and every second, according to news outlets we should be home inside our closets instead of attending Swift’s wedding,” one perosn added.
Hopefully, the necessary security measures are taken ahead of the wedding.
