According to Daily Mail, the final touches are being put in place for a hush-hush ceremony. The outlet shared a bunch of photos of workers erecting large marquees and security structures at a private estate. The huge structures were reportedly raised to host over 300 guests, including a long list of A-list stars and celebrity friends.

The singer and her songwriter beau are reportedly going all out for the lavish wedding. Daily Mail reports that the event’s security and privacy measures alone cost around $300,000.

Taylor Swift arrives for the wedding

Amidst reports of prep on in full swing, TMZ spotted the bride's BFF, Taylor Swift, arriving for the big day. The singer was photographed touching down in Santa Barbara on Friday. Although Taylor stayed hidden from view, the entertainment portal reported that she was carefully shielded from onlookers as several staff members held up umbrellas to block her from view while she deplaned. Only her arm and a glimpse of a maroon dress could be seen before she quickly headed into her car and zoomed off.


The outlet added that Taylor was also seen arriving with a large white box, possibly a wedding gift for the bride and groom.

Nicky Hilton also confirmed to Access Hollywood that her sister Paris Hilton made the exclusive guest list.

Gomez shared her excitement for her wedding during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon earlier this month. “It’s wonderful. I’m very lucky. It’s going well. I’m so excited,” she told Fallon.
