The New York Police Department (NYPD) has joined the excitement surrounding the reported wedding of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce by sharing a playful social media video filled with references to the singer's biggest hits.

Posted ahead of the couple's expected wedding celebrations at Madison Square Garden, the video features NYPD Chief Timothy Beaudette standing outside the iconic New York venue while delivering a series of Taylor Swift-inspired lines. Throughout the clip, Beaudette references several of the singer's songs, including Welcome to New York, You Need to Calm Down, I Knew You Were Trouble and Mean, adding a light-hearted touch to the heightened anticipation surrounding the event.

The video quickly gained traction on social media as fans praised the department's playful approach while the city prepares for one of the year's most high-profile celebrity weddings.

Despite the humorous post, the NYPD continues to maintain a significant security presence around Madison Square Garden. Authorities have declined to comment on specific operational plans but are expected to oversee crowd management as celebrities, invited guests and fans gather around the venue.

Swift and Kelce, who have been together since 2023, are reportedly set to celebrate their wedding with a star-studded guest list and extensive security arrangements. The event is expected to attract thousands of onlookers alongside numerous high-profile figures from the entertainment and sports industries.

While the couple have not publicly confirmed details of the ceremony, excitement surrounding the wedding continues to grow, with the NYPD's Swift-themed video becoming one of the latest viral moments leading up to the celebrations.
