Naidalyn Gomas, 25, from New York, paused her July 4 travel plans to stop and try to see Taylor Swift. "I hope I can see Taylor, even for a little bit," said Gomas, outside Madison Square Garden with luggage in hand.

Gomas who has been a fan of Swift for years, has her own theory of why Swift is holding her wedding at MSG. "She said that she wanted to make it like a big wedding," she said. "So that makes sense if that’s why she’s doing it here."
