Welcome to The TMZ Podcast, I'm Charlie Neff.

**Branson Quirk** (0:40)
Hey, I'm Branson Quirk.

**Charlie Neff** (0:42)
Oh, thanks for joining me today, Branson.

**Branson Quirk** (0:44)
No problem.

**Charlie Neff** (0:45)
I'm laughing, because obviously this is Branson's show, but I'm hosting.

**Branson Quirk** (0:48)
No, that's not my show, it's your show as well.

**Charlie Neff** (0:50)
Oh, stop.

**Branson Quirk** (0:51)
No, we're laughing, she's laughing extra because Rick Ross was just in here. Oh, yeah. And he kind of hotboxed, I think, the whole studio.

**Charlie Neff** (0:57)
For sure, actually it's a little cloudy in here too.

**Branson Quirk** (1:01)
We walked in, I was like, whoa! You know, like I hit with a brick wall of smoke.

**Charlie Neff** (1:05)
Yeah, it was, I think, a pretty good energy, though.

**Branson Quirk** (1:08)
Yeah, it was great. It comes out tomorrow on the TMZ Podcast feed, so look for that. Rick Ross will be, yeah, it was good. It was pretty cool. He brought like 15 people with him.

**Charlie Neff** (1:17)
Oh, wow, what an entourage.

**Branson Quirk** (1:19)
And he's funny. He was like rapping about everybody he saw. He was yelling for Diet Cokes, you know.

**Charlie Neff** (1:26)
So good. Well, we got some big news this week. It is Taylor and Travis' wedding week. And oh my gosh, shout out to our news desk team. We've got all the inside scoop for you guys. Even though there's no photos inside, we can paint the picture pretty well at this point as to what this wedding is going to look like. So as you guys know, there's gonna be a big celebration going down on July 3rd. That is Friday.
With over 1,000 guests at Madison Square Garden in New York.
Over 1,000, wow. And saying, look, we're guessing they're probably gonna have an intimate wedding, just the two of them. Well, and their family, close family and friends. Where they get married.

**Branson Quirk** (2:12)
People keep saying that, but I'll be honest with you, that's the wedding. The ceremony is the wedding.

**Charlie Neff** (2:19)
When you say I do and the vows and all that.

**Branson Quirk** (2:21)
The reception is like the party. I guess there is like the first dance and all that. But like the ceremony with everybody watching, why are we assuming that that's not gonna be the case?

**Charlie Neff** (2:31)
Yeah, very true. It could very well be.
So first we got some photos of the setup that's been going down. We know that trucks arrived yesterday to start setting up this grand event. And here we have a video of them with this red carpet. They're fully transforming Madison Square Garden. I think when we first broke a story that her wedding was gonna be at this arena, people were like, that's so not romantic. It's not beautiful. There's literally locker rooms and like chairs, like fold out chairs. You're the one that said this.

**Branson Quirk** (3:06)
You're like, it's a gym.

**Charlie Neff** (3:07)
It's a gym, it is. So why would you want your wedding at a gym?

**Branson Quirk** (3:11)
And you know it just smells like stadium liquor throughout the whole thing. Yes, for sure. So when you walk into the stadium, you're like, oh, I'm at the stadium. That's what it smells like.

**Charlie Neff** (3:20)
I know that somebody has pooped in those seats at some point. Like thrown up, barf, terrible, unspeakable things have happened at this place. But they are completely transforming it. So what we're told, actually from what my sources are telling me, the full day yesterday and then today has been totally dedicated to draping the entire inside. Now, what I mean by that is, it was explained to me that when you walk into Madison Square Garden, you completely forget that you're at MSG.
Instead, you are taken to a different universe where there's drapes literally coming from the ceilings, drapes all around the floor. You won't even see a speck of this gym at all. She basically rented it for the event space and completely made it her own. Remember, MSG is also windowless. I was told that was also a big factor in her renting this specific event space.
So it's helping with privacy. It's a really big thing for Taylor, as we're revealing everything about this wedding.

**Branson Quirk** (4:31)
I know.

**Charlie Neff** (4:33)
So it has no windows. We know that there's going to be a ton of security there, police officers blocking off the streets. It appears that they're going to be putting up some tents.
