Everyone has Taylor Swift wedding opinions and we haven't even seen the dress yet | CNN

The wedding narrative around Taylor Swift’s Friday night ceremony has quickly become a flashpoint for public opinion, even before the dress is seen. At Madison Square Garden, the event drew about a thousand family members, close friends, and business contacts, while many in New York City faced power reductions or outages during a heatwave. A power failure reportedly shut down a major wastewater treatment facility along the Hudson River, raising concerns that nearby tall ships for America’s 250th celebration could be exposed to unfiltered waste runoff. CNN also reported speculation after pastries were delivered by a catering van near MSG, but it said it had not independently confirmed any link to the wedding. The story highlights contrasting views amid comparisons to other high-profile celebrity events and large charitable donations.
