Alexa, play "New Romantics" by Taylor Swift, because, apparently, she and her fiancé Travis Kelce are building a whole castle inside Madison Square Garden for their upcoming wedding ceremony.

While the power couple's rumored wedding date is Friday, July 3, trucks are already parked outside the iconic New York City venue and unloading decor. And because Swifties know Tay is the queen of arriving at her own concerts via "cleaning carts," they're already picking up the trucks' details, including labels that read "Garden Party 1 (scenic)" and "GP."

Per separate footage posted by DeuxMoi, a baby-blue carpet is being set up to cover the venue’s stairs.

Sources close to the wedding separately told TMZ that "a massive castle is being built inside a garden at MSG, with the legendary venue being transformed into a full-blown fairytale." (Alright, queueing up "Today Was a Fairytale" next…)

The most recent developments come after fans theorized that Tay and Trav already tied the knot, though multiple planners who gushed about working a "dream come true" event claimed it was to celebrate the New York Knicks' historic win at the NBA Finals.

However, three separate insiders confirmed to The New York Times that "a permit was filed with New York City to close the streets around Madison Square Garden from July 2 to midday July 4 for an event on July 3." One of their sources even revealed that "several members" of the Kansas City Chiefs have booked hotel rooms a few blocks away at the Marriott Marquis in Times Square.

Per the NYT report, an event planning company, Winick Productions, filed an application to set up a tent that holds 500 to 999 guests outside MSG, and Amtrak police officers "have been told to expect a Swift wedding the weekend of July 4."

Reps for Taylor and Travis have not confirmed whether the decorations being unloaded are related to their reported nuptials, so take it all with a grain of salt. Either way, our royal wedding can't come soon enough!
