Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's much-hyped wedding is set for this weekend at Madison Square Garden, and Long Island's Swifties have mixed feelings about it.

"Taylor has always been an Easter egg queen, like she wants to drop little clues here and there," said longtime fan Alexandra Ali, 29, of Commack, an on-air personality at WBLI/106.1 FM.

"I think part of being a Swiftie is to acknowledge when your favorite person is not doing the best thing in the world," she said. "Uprooting people from their daily lives so you can get married. I don’t want to say that’s what’s happening, but it’s like I don’t love it if that’s the case."

Elizabeth Edquist, 32, of Glen Head, a Taylor Swift impersonator who runs Royal Princess Prep Entertainment, said she thinks the wedding destination might be a deliberate ruse.

Edquist, who has been a fan of Swift's since her debut album in 2006, said she believes The Garden is an unusual place for the "Love Story" singer to hold her wedding and that "it just seems so impersonal."

Paige Felice, 13, of Miller Place, has a different opinion on the location.

"I think it’s very iconic, because it’s so famous," she said, referring to the arena venue.

However, her 44-year-old mom, who's also a fan, was more surprised.

"I think it’s unbelievable," said Grace Felice, also of Miller Place. "I would never have imagined that anyone would get married there. I can’t wait to see what it’s gonna look like, just because I can’t picture it in my head. But Taylor, I’m sure she has a vision and she’s gonna see it come to fruition."

Swifties, whom Ali described as a strong bunch, are "very passionate about Taylor and her happiness, and this has been something that we have been waiting for, not even just for her, but as a fan base," she said.

Edquist, who said she expects a lot of wedding ceremony coverage, added, ,"It'd be super fun to do some Taylor wedding-themed events."

Paige Felice, who has been to a few of Swift's concerts, said she'd be happy to attend the wedding if it were open to the public. "I loved her for a long time and I think it would just be really cool," the teen said. "And I would love to see her dress in person."

"I would have been there yesterday," Ali said. "This conversation wouldn’t be happening. I’d be on the train right now."
