Taylor Swift is famous for weaving Easter eggs into her music and public appearances, and now fans think she's been doing exactly that in the lead-up to her wedding.
The singer and Travis Kelce, both 36, are reportedly tying the knot this Friday, 3 July, three years after they first started dating.
As speculation around the event reaches fever pitch, it's already being compared to the Met Gala in terms of scale and secrecy, with not even guests said to have been told an exact date.
Details of the day have remained closely guarded, but reports suggest Swift and Kelce will be marrying at Madison Square Garden in New York City, with a 1,000-person celebration on the Friday and a smaller, more intimate gathering of around 100 people the night before, which some fans believe could be the actual ceremony.

Now, eagle-eyed fans have been combing through Swift's recent public appearances and outfits, convinced they've spotted five clues pointing towards the big day.

The first relates to the couple's originally rumoured wedding date. Reports had suggested Swift and Kelce would marry at her Rhode Island home on 13 June, a date fans considered significant given Swift's well-documented love of numerology, with 13 being both her birthday and her lucky number.
The second clue is the venue itself. Madison Square Garden was initially dismissed by some fans as too corporate a choice, but the arena's windowless design and underground entrances reportedly offer Swift a level of privacy that an outdoor venue couldn't, while also holding sentimental value as the site of her first two concert tours.
A third potential clue came when Swift attended a Knicks game at the arena alongside Haim sisters Este and Alana, wearing a personalised t-shirt reading "Stevie Knicks."
Fans believe this may have hinted not just at the venue but at Fleetwood Mac's Stevie Nicks, who is rumoured to be performing at the wedding.

The fourth clue centres on timing. While the wedding itself won't fall on 4 July, it is set to take place the Friday before the holiday weekend, something fans believe reflects both Swift and Kelce's all-American romance and her own history of hosting extravagant Independence Day celebrations.
The fifth and final clue relates to Swift's recent outfit choices. She was spotted in a structured, corseted Erdem mini-dress at the Toy Story 5 premiere, a style fans say is unusual for her, sparking speculation the British fashion house could be behind her wedding look. She was also seen carrying a bright yellow Dior bag with an otherwise understated outfit, which some believe hints at either a bold wedding day accessory or Dior as her designer of choice.
Swift has previously said she doesn't use Easter eggs to hide details about her personal life, but fans remain convinced this wedding is proving to be the exception.
There's also a chance all the speculation is simply playing into Swift's hands. Given she has reportedly moved wedding plans once already after details became public, some fans believe Madison Square Garden could be a decoy, with photos of what appeared to be a hen do at her Rhode Island home in late June fuelling theories that the real event may be happening elsewhere entirely.
For now, fans will have to wait for Friday to find out which theories hold up.
