So this is like a celebrity parade wedding now? Kinda wild.
They say it leaked because of a permit?? Like the government just exposes your wedding guest list now? Makes no sense. Also $26 million charities… I’m not even mad I guess.
Wait the permit was placed by her team and then details leaked “earlier this week”… so did someone take the permit pic and post it? Or like the city workers were like hey here’s everybody invited lol. And 1,000 guests seems fake, unless Madison Square Garden is bigger than I remember.
Not gonna lie, I thought this was gonna be more private. But it’s Madison Square Garden and all the photos are like NFL players and random actresses?? Next thing you know the whole city needs a ticket too. Also the royal wedding thing… that’s a reach, it’s just Taylor being Taylor.
