New York City is ramping up homeless outreach around Madison Square Garden as Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce prepare for their wedding.
A city official tells TMZ the Department of Homeless Services will send a significantly larger force of outreach workers to the MSG and Penn Station area from July 2 through July 4.
The increased presence is not about clearing the area for the wedding festivities.
Instead, it's driven by dangerous heat expected to blanket New York, with temperatures forecast to climb into the 90s and possibly hit 100 degrees.
The Penn Station corridor is one of the city's largest homeless hubs.
Officials are especially concerned between noon and 8 PM, when the heat will be at its worst and wedding activity around MSG will be at its busiest.
About 200 two-person outreach teams will fan out across the city, with a major focus on the blocks surrounding MSG.
Their job is to warn unhoused people about the city's "Code Red" heat emergency and encourage them to head to shelters or cooling centers.
If someone declines, the outreach workers cannot force them to move.
Instead, they will continue offering alternatives, including spending time inside nearby Penn Station to escape the sweltering temperatures.
Taylor and Travis are transforming MSG into a real-life fairy tale.
Video shows a giant white staircase being hauled into the venue, adding to an already massive castle set taking shape inside.
The couple's custom wedding menu, National Guard presence outside the arena, strict no-phone policy for staffers, and watermark-protected invitations with NDAs for guests make it one of the most tightly guarded celebrity weddings ever.
