There were also some visible hints that the trucks were related to Swift's upcoming nuptials, including a sign on equipment being unloaded that read, 'Return to Nashville.'
The trucks appeared to have signs taped above the doors to the trailers reading 'TAIT 1 – AUD DECK' and 'TAIT 2 – VER.'
One crate spotted by the publication had '40" Mirror Ball' printed on the side, which may have been a reference to Swift's Top 40 hit Mirrorball, which was featured on her 2020 surprise album Folklore; she and Kelce are pictured in January 2024 in Baltimore, Maryland

Workers at the scene whom Page Six spoke to claimed to be in the dark about what the setup was for. 'We aren’t told anything. Everything is so tight-lipped,' one worker told the publication
In December, she revealed in an interview with Stephen Colbert that the tune – one of only a handful of Folklore songs that she co-wrote with Jack Antonoff – holds a special place in her heart, as she considers it one of the best songs she has written to date.
While some vendors didn't seem to have any issue with making their connection to Swift's apparent nuptials public, some appeared to have their business names covered up or blacked out for extra secrecy.

Swift and Kelce's reported upcoming wedding has been shrouded in mystery, prompting John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette Kennedy’s wedding planner to weigh in; pictured in March
'I don't think it's gonna be at MSG. I don’t. I could see her doing something for her fans at MSG,' RoseMarie Terenzio predicted; pictured in May 1991
Swift and Kelce have not confirmed a wedding date or venue, and and the pop star usually announces any public events.
Terenzio guessed that Swift and Kelce could be married already.
'I think it's amazing. People are so invested in those two and I think they're really invested in them having their moment, I really do,' the Fairy Tale Interrupted author emphasized.
She mused, 'Their effervescence as a couple – they're always cheering each other on. I just think people are invested in giving them a beautiful wedding.'
Referencing her experience helming Kennedy and Bessette's surprise ceremony, the public relations expert said the trick is to only tell 'people you know very well.'
She also suggested the use of decoys to throw off sleuths, and refraining from sending texts, emails, or any other written correspondence.
She advised that all communications be done 'by phone or in person.'
Terenzio shared that when she orchestrated the Kennedy wedding, 'We left itineraries for Ireland around the office.'

Terenzio even guessed that Swift and Kelce could be married already, and just using MSG as a venue to celebrate
A source told NBC News that 1,100 guests have RSVP'd are expected to attend Swift and Kelce's July 3 wedding, and that they were required to sign an NDA before receiving electronic invites
Back in 1996, Terenzio pulled off the impossible with Kennedy Jr and Bessette managing to evade press and marry undetected on Cumberland Island in Georgia.
Media outlets missed the marriage, which took place in a chapel without electricity on the secluded, undeveloped barrier island. Only 40 guests were present. The feat is largely proclaimed as one of the world's most successful secret weddings.
Terenzio said she's confident the hitmaker and Kansas City Chiefs sensation will manage to keep their wedding details under wraps.
'I think those two could do it, and especially her,' she added. 'She just has such savvy about everything that she does and I think she could do it.'
A source told NBC News that 1,100 guests have RSVP'd and are expected to attend Swift's July 3 wedding, and that they were required to sign an NDA before receiving electronic invites.
It's been reported that wedding guests will not know the address until the morning of the event.
In early June, an insiderthat the couple decided to 'embrace the spectacle' of a giant wedding.
Business owners in the highly congested MSG area later voiced concerns over a potential loss of revenue and security accommodations.
According to TMZ, less than one month before the expected event, local bars and restaurants claimed they had yet to receive details regarding the major event that is sure to have an impact on their establishments.
