No Phones for NYPD Cops at Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's Wedding

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are taking security to the next level at their wedding. According to TMZ, NYPD officers assigned to work inside the event at Madison Square Garden are not allowed to have their phones. Sources say officers were told: if they don't like it, they don't have to work.

The phone ban applies not only to Thursday's rehearsal dinner but for the entire wedding weekend. The couple is determined to prevent any leaks from inside the venue. For such a high-profile event, these measures are unprecedented even for law enforcement.

Earlier, giant tents were set up at the entrances to block bystanders' views. However, TMZ obtained video taken before security tightened press access, showing red drapes in the windows and yellow flowers decorating the interior.

A filming notice was also spotted outside the venue, confirming that Swift and Kelce want to control all content until their own project is released. The couple likely plans an exclusive wedding video or documentary.

The wedding of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce is one of the most anticipated events of the year. The pop star and NFL player have kept details secret, and now even police are restricted from using devices. Experts say such tight control is rare even for top-tier events.

It's unclear how officers reacted to the phone ban. Some may have declined the assignment, but demand for working such a high-profile event was probably high. The wedding is expected to be entirely private, with official footage released only after the couple's approval.
