THE FUSE

Over the holiday weekend, pop princess Taylor Swift and football star Travis Kelce got married at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The richer-than-god pair filed permits with the city to close off streets surrounding the venue during a holiday weekend, affecting nearby local businesses that typically rely on Midtown Manhattan’s heavy foot traffic for patrons to pass through and make purchases. Meanwhile, the blockades made navigating the densely populated area much more difficult, all so Swift and Kelce could exchange vows in one of the most widely-known music venues in the world.
