Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's MSG wedding guest list: Everyone reportedly confirmed for star-studded event
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's reported wedding at Madison Square Garden is just a day away and there is still very little about the highly anticipated event that has been confirmed.
However, if the reported wedding takes place as planned, it is expected to be a star-studded event. Over the past weeks, some A-listers have hinted at attending and the pop star herself made a rare comment about the guest list.
Below is a look at everyone who will reportedly be among the 1,000 guests at MSG on July 3.
TAYLOR SWIFT AND TRAVIS KELCE'S WEDDING OF THE YEAR: EVERYTHING WE KNOW SO FAR
In October, Swift was a guest on U.K.’s "Hits Radio Breakfast Show" and shared that it would be "hard to stop" her longtime friend Ed Sheeran from performing at her wedding — implying he had already secured an invitation.
"We spoke to Ed Sheeran a few weeks back, and he told us he is constantly asked to perform at people’s weddings. So is he singing at your wedding?" the host asked Swift.
She replied, "Oh it would be hard to keep him from it, I think! That’s the thing, he’s like, ‘I’m always being asked to sing at weddings.’ It’s like, 'Ed, if there is a stage, you know you’ll be on it.' He knows what people want, and he wants to give people what they want."
An insider spoke to Page Six and shared that Zoë Kravitz is "absolutely coming" to Swift and Kelce’s wedding.
However, Kravitz's fiancé, Harry Styles, is currently on his Together, Together tour and is not likely to be attending.
Kansas City Chiefs star George Kittle and his wife, Claire, will be attending the Swift-Kelce wedding.
George confirmed his attendance at the Tight End University event in Nashville earlier this year.
Kittle shared an interesting tidbit about the upcoming wedding while attending the Tight Ends & Friends concert. Speaking to ExtraTV, the NFL player confirmed he was attending the wedding and was told not to bring a gift.

"They said absolutely no gifts. But I was thinking, Travis, for some reason, really likes old coins, so I might get him an old coin," Kittle shared.

San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk and his wife, Kristin, have spoken about the upcoming wedding.
At Kelce's Tight End University, an NFL camp created by the football player, along with George Kittle and Greg Olsen, the Juszczyks made rare comments about the upcoming wedding.
"Oh my gosh, everyone’s just so excited for them," Kristin told Page Six. "We’ve known Travis for a while now, and we’re just so happy that he found his person. "Really, it is just excitement … it’s the royal wedding!" Kyle added.
In June, Jason Kelce made a joke about the Swift and Kelce wedding, claiming he's "very excited" for his brother's big day.
"Obviously very excited, very excited for my brother, obviously a big moment for him," Jason said, according to People. "I’m very happy for both of them and looking forward to celebrating with them, and it's a good year right now and it’s a good year for both of them as well."
After a major falling out, Blake Lively is reportedly back in Swift's good graces and scored an invite to her big day.
A source told the Daily Mail that since the Justin Baldoni legal drama, Swift and Lively have spoken via phone and the invitation was an "olive branch" for their friendship.
"Everyone around Taylor is aware that Blake could attend," the source added. "She may not, but that won’t be because she isn’t welcome."
The Haim sisters — Este, Danielle, and Alana— are a pop-rock band based in Los Angeles and also close friends of Swift.

Page Six reported that the sisters secured invites to Swift's wedding.
Suki Waterhouse has already confirmed that she will be attending Swift's wedding.
"I’m gonna go to Taylor’s wedding, and maybe I’ll get some inspiration. It will be amazing," she told Variety. Waterhouse is currently dating Robert Pattinson.
Multiple outlets have reported that not only are Gigi Hadid and Selena Gomez attending the wedding, they will be among her bridal party.
Hadid and Gomez have been friends with Swift for years. Last year, Swift attended Gomez's wedding to Benny Blanco.
It's possible that Hadid will bring her boyfriend, Bradley Cooper, to Swift's big day.
According to Page Six, Cara Delevingne secured an invite to Swift and Kelce's wedding. Swift and Delevingne have been friends for years.
Former US Olympian David Hearn indicted in alleged Reflecting Pool vandalism
Former U.S. Olympic canoeist David "Davey" Hearn has been indicted on a felony destruction of property charge after his arrest last month at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, D.C., according to U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro.
Hearn, a former U.S. Olympic canoeist, was charged Thursday in D.C. Superior Court following the incident on June 19.
Hearn has denied damaging the recently renovated Reflecting Pool, saying he stopped during a bike ride and merely touched a loose piece of the peeling blue coating "to satisfy my curiosity as a citizen."
The indictment comes after several people were arrested or cited in connection with damage to the Reflecting Pool, which underwent a more than $14 million rehabilitation project under President Donald Trump.
The president had previously blamed vandals for the damage to the pool, which features a blue coating he calls "American flag blue."

Steak 'n Shake mocks Five Guys over burger prices after viral Liberty Meal post
Steak 'n Shake announced its month-long Liberty Meal deal to celebrate America's 250th birthday — and used the occasion to taunt a competitor.
"$17.76 for two Liberty Meals — all July long!" the burger chain wrote on X. "A Liberty Meal includes a double grass-fed Steakburger, beef tallow fries and a Patriot Milkshake. Can't touch this, Mr. Five Guys..."
The post garnered 1.5 million views and nearly 1,000 comments.

"Yo @FiveGuys, how will y'all respond?" wrote one X user.
"They don't need to respond. Five Guys food is so much better," replied another.
"They respond by being good and filling," wrote someone else. "Both companies will satisfy one's individual hunger for $17.76."
Other comments expressed excitement about the Liberty Meal, with praise from customers who had already tried it and disappointment from would-be customers who lamented the lack of nearby Steak 'n Shake locations.
"Love the July deal, we will be stopping by the new @SteaknShake location in Royal Oak, MI for this!" one X user wrote.
"That's a great deal!" commented someone else. "Going to Steak 'n Shake with my kids this week."

"Um, I know where we are eating for lunch tomorrow! Yum!" said another person.
"If you had a store near me, we would be absolutely getting this meal ASAP!" wrote another.
"My son and I enjoyed our Liberty Meal yesterday. Thanks for the treat!" another X user wrote.
"We enjoyed this tonight! Bravo!" someone else commented.

Some X users were less than impressed with the price.
"Wait that's a sale price?" someone wrote. "What's the regular price? That looks like a McDonald's double cheeseburger. Pretty weak for close to 20 bucks."
Another user said $9 for a burger and fries was outrageous (the deal also includes a milkshake), and another person responded, "What century are you from?"

"That's easily $40 at Five Guys," remarked another X user.
"You would need a home-equity loan for that at Five Guys," wrote someone else.
"Yeah, but there are 12 Five Guys in Philly, and zero of you," another person wrote, joining several X commenters who said they wished there were more Steak 'n Shake restaurants to patronize.
After closing about 200 restaurants between 2018 and 2025, Steak 'n Shake has been undergoing a broader turnaround effort, QSR Magazine reported last year.
A March post from Steak 'n Shake announcing that its Patriot Shake, topped with patriotic sprinkles and a dark-chocolate Statue of Liberty, would be priced at $2.50 for the rest of the year went viral, as Fox News Digital reported.
Five Guys has not publicly responded to Steak 'n Shake's post. The burger chain is currently promoting its limited-time blackberry milkshake.
Fox News Digital reached out to Steak 'n Shake and Five Guys for comment.
Former Team USA star wants to see red card rule change after Folarin Balogun controversy
John Harkes, a member of the 1994 USMNT World Cup squad, was at Levi's Stadium on Wednesday night and had the same reaction as just about everybody when Folarin Balogun had to leave the game.
"We kept going, 'Wait a minute, that's not a red card,'" Harkes said of his reaction in an interview with Fox News Digital.
"You know, we're in the stadium, and right away I think I was standing there next to my daughter-in-law and our grandson, and then my son and my wife. Both my son and my wife, Cindy and Ian, turned and said, 'That's not a red card.' And I'm like, 'Oh my God,'" he said. "I don't think it was a red card at all, to be honest with you."

With Balogun's absence, the USMNT had to play with 10 men for the rest of the game. However, a red card results in an automatic suspension for the next game, meaning that one official can alter multiple games with just one decision, even if it is, as Harkes put it, a "50/50" play.
Harkes was "a victim" of something similar in 1994, the last time the United States hosted the World Cup prior to this year. He earned yellow cards in the first and third games, prompting a suspension for the United States' July 4 game against Brazil.
"It crushed me. I kept thinking to myself, 'This is the best in the world coming together, and you're going to make a player sit out the next game because of yellow card accumulation?'" Harkes said.
FIFA RULES LEAVE TEAM USA NO RECOURSE AFTER FOLARIN BALOGUN'S CONTROVERSIAL RED CARD
Soccer certainly is not baseball, where the rules are ever-changing. But if there was one, Harkes would like to see red cards from one game not affect other games.
"That's way above my pay grade, but, at the same time, so many people discuss it on a consistent basis. So, let's really take a look at this and see: Does it make sense? I don't think it does. Not in a tournament format. I don't think so," he said.
Unfortunately for the U.S., there is nothing anyone can do. Article 9.6 of the 2026 World Cup regulations reads, "No protests may be made about the referee’s decisions regarding facts connected with play. Such decisions are final and not subject to appeal, unless otherwise stipulated in the FIFA Disciplinary Code."
"If a player or team official is sent off as a result of a direct or indirect red card (second caution), they will automatically be suspended from their team’s subsequent match," Article 10.5 states.
Despite it not looking like Balogun had any ill intent, the United States will have no choice but to find a replacement for someone who has probably been its best player in what is now perhaps the most important game in U.S. soccer history Monday night.

Reporter who exited CNN after being at center of costly defamation trial lands at Al Jazeera English
Alex Marquardt, who exited CNN months after his reporting helped cost the company millions following a defamation trial, has landed a new gig at Al Jazeera English.
"I’m very excited to be joining Al Jazeera @AJEnglish in Washington after years of watching their extraordinary coverage from around the world," Marquardt announced Wednesday on social media.
Marquardt was famously at the center of a high-profile defamation case brought against him and CNN in 2025 by U.S. Navy veteran Zachary Young. A Florida jury found that CNN defamed Young and ruled that he could seek punitive damages as a result of a November 2021 report by Marquardt. The report branded Young as a questionable profiteer who exploited "desperate Afghans" trying to flee Afghanistan during the Biden administration's chaotic military withdrawal from the Taliban-run country, implying Young was operating on a "black market."
ALEX MARQUARDT OUT AT CNN AFTER EIGHT YEARS; REPORTER WAS AT CENTER OF COSTLY DEFAMATION TRIAL
The jury had initially awarded Young $5 million in financial and emotional damages before Young and CNN reached an undisclosed settlement, suggesting the network paid Young significantly more money. The jury foreman later told Fox News Digital they were prepared to make CNN pay "somewhere in the neighborhood of $50 million to $100 million" in punitive damages.
CNN parted ways with Marquardt roughly five months after the trial, and many of his now-former colleagues told Fox News Digital at the time that it was "obviously" tied to the costly defamation case despite the network declining comment on "personnel matters."
Fox News Digital reached out to Marquardt for comment.
Al Jazeera, which is largely funded by the government of Qatar, launched the English counterpart to Al Jazeera Arabic in 2006. Marquardt will host a daytime show called "This is America" for the outlet.
CNN DEFAMATION TRIAL: LOSING CASE EXPECTED BUT STILL A BAD BRUISE FOR THE NETWORK, INSIDER SAYS
In a post-trial interview, Young said he hadn't forgiven Marquardt, calling him out for remaining defiant on the witness stand at the trial. However, Young seemed to hold no ill will more than a year later when asked about Marquardt’s new gig.
"After a year on the sidelines, I’m glad he landed somewhere. Judging by his Twitter, Al Jazeera might be the only newsroom where his coverage and his opinions actually match," Young told Fox News Digital.
Marquardt’s announcement was met with congratulatory messages from several of his former CNN colleagues.

On the witness stand, Marquardt insisted his infamous report was not a "hit piece" on Young and that he was proud of his work.
"I wasn't looking to take anyone down. I didn't take anyone down," Marquardt testified.
CNN issued an on-air apology in March 2022 after Young threatened to take legal action. But throughout the trial, Marquardt and several CNN staffers testified they didn’t feel the apology was necessary. CNN senior vice president Adam Levine admitted to the jurors that the apology was merely a legal decision.
Nancy Guthrie 'imposter' behind phony ransom notes pleads guilty to federal charges
The accused "imposter" behind a phony ransom demand in the Nancy Guthrie case pleaded guilty to harassing her family with a phony ransom payment Thursday in a federal court in Tucson, Arizona.
Guthrie is the 84-year-old mother of "Today" co-host Savannah Guthrie, and she vanished from her home in the city's Catalina Foothills neighborhood in the early hours of Feb. 1. The following day, ransom demands were sent to local media — and investigators continue to look into their authenticity.
The FBI quickly deemed messages from Derrick Anthony Callella, a 42-year-old man from Hawthorne, California, as a hoax, and he was arrested within days of Guthrie's suspected abduction and indicted on online harassment charges.
He is expected to receive a sentence of five years on federal probation at a formal sentencing later, according to the Tucson-based KVOA-TV.
He was accused of contacting Guthrie's other daughter, Annie Guthrie, and son-in-law, Tommaso Cioni, from a spoofed phone number on Feb. 4 and asking, "Did you get the bitcoin were [sic] waiting on our end for the transaction." He also allegedly placed a nine-second call to the family afterward.
"Through the course of the investigation, it was found that Callella was acting as an imposter, trying to take advantage of the ongoing situation," federal prosecutors said in a statement after the suspect's first court appearance in mid-February.
FOX TRUE CRIME IS NOW ON FACEBOOK
According to court documents, investigators have not linked him to a Feb. 2 ransom demand sent to local media and TMZ. They did, however, allegedly link the spoofed number to a Google email account in Callella's name.

Then-FBI Phoenix Special Agent in Charge Heith Janke told reporters about the arrest in a February news briefing but said the FBI was investigating a different ransom demand as potentially having come from the actual abductor.
Callella had been freed on $20,000 after his arrest and was not allowed to apply for a passport.
Savannah Guthrie and her siblings previously responded to two other ransom demands, that she said back in March she believes could be legitimate.
The identity of whoever sent them remains a mystery, however, and no arrests have been made.
SAVANNAH GUTHRIE PLEADS FOR TIPS AS RANSOM NOTE CLAIMS MOM IS DEAD: 'SOMEBODY KNOWS SOMETHING'
"The FBI and its task force partners have received several ransom notes over the course of this investigation," the FBI's Phoenix office said in a statement on Wednesday. "Some have been deemed to be extortion attempts without legitimacy. Other ransom demands may potentially be legitimate and are still being investigated as such. This case continues to be investigated as a kidnapping for ransom case."
The FBI is assisting in the investigation, the statement added, noting that the Pima County Sheriff's Department remains the lead agency on the case.
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos, however, has repeatedly stated that the FBI is leading ransom-related investigations.
"Any questions regarding alleged ransom notes should be directed to the FBI," he said in a statement of his own. "We appreciate the public's continued cooperation and the information provided throughout this investigation. Anyone with information that may assist investigators is encouraged to contact the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI or submit an anonymous tip to 88-CRIME."
On Thursday, the sheriff's department deferred comment on Callella's plea to the FBI. The feds did not immediately respond.
North Carolina man armed with flamethrowers, crossbows, 500 rounds arrested outside church: police
A North Carolina man was arrested outside a church armed with crossbows, two flamethrowers and 500 rounds of ammunition, police said.
The High Point Police Department wrote in a news release that someone called 911 on Sunday to report an "armed person sitting in the parking lot" of Wesley Memorial Church in High Point, North Carolina.
The caller said the man, William S. Milliken III, 44, was armed with a gun and wearing camouflage.
An off-duty officer at the church spotted the suspect immediately and, with help from officers who arrived within minutes, took him into custody.

After Milliken was arrested, officers searched his truck and found two flamethrowers, two crossbows, over 500 rounds of ammunition, rolls of black duct tape, three knives, oxycodone pills and a carbon dioxide-powered launcher designed to resemble a handgun, police said.
According to WFMY, court documents also allege that the suspect had a notebook with addresses of churches, schools and public buildings, GPS coordinates, body armor, radios with police scanners, handcuff keys as well as an enlarged map of North Carolina.

He was charged with possession of a weapon of mass destruction, impersonating a law enforcement officer and possession of a Schedule II controlled substance.
Milliken III is being held at the Guilford County Jail, and his bond was set at $250,000.
High Point Police Chief Curtis Cheeks III said he is thankful the suspect was stopped before anyone was hurt.
"Thanks to the quick action of our officers, a man armed with weapons was taken into custody before anyone was hurt," Cheeks said. "The officers prevented a potentially dangerous situation from escalating and helped ensure everyone attending church services could return home safely.
Dallas mayor dismisses claims businesses are losing confidence in downtown as 'a bunch of bull'
Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson pushed back against claims that businesses have lost confidence in the city's downtown, calling the narrative "a bunch of bull" as officials considered incentives tied to a proposed $1.3 billion office tower development in his email newsletter published Tuesday.
Local ABC affiliate WFAA 8 reported that Johnson said Dallas has led in post-pandemic economic recovery, highlighting that it has attracted major business investments, including a new Goldman Sachs campus expected to employ approximately 5,000 people and Frontier Communications' relocation of its headquarters from Connecticut to Dallas, and Morgan Stanley considering an expansion.
"Morgan Stanley choosing Dallas as a new regional hub would be a huge win for the fast-growing Y'all Street sector of the city," Johnson wrote in his email newsletter.

The article also pointed out that Nasdaq, the Texas Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange are "coming to town."
Johnson acknowledged that Neiman Marcus did close its downtown store, but it still plans to invest in its NorthPark Center location, about 13 minutes from downtown Dallas, and that Fifth Third and the Dallas Mavericks will still be in the city, but not in Downtown.
"FIFA chose Downtown Dallas — over many other interested cities — as the home of its international broadcast center for the World Cup and selected the region to host more matches than any other," Johnson said in the newsletter.

"Does that sound like a loss of confidence, or does it sound like winning?" he asked. "The truth is that Dallas is safer, stronger, and more vibrant than it was before this Administration inherited a city that had uncompetitive tax rates, increasing crime, and police ranks that had been decimated."
He pointed out, however, that there is still more to be done.
"The work is not finished," Johnson wrote. "The City Council will soon consider asking voters to approve a public safety bond package to give Dallas a police academy worthy of its police department and to shore up the Dallas Police & Fire Pension System to finally resolve a lingering mess that past leaders left behind. This year’s budget also figures to be a challenging one, and it will be important to work closely with the city manager to make appropriate cuts and to ensure that public safety remains the top priority."
In April, Gov. Greg Abbott praised Texas for being named the Best State for Business for the 22nd year in a row by Chief Executive magazine.

Democrats stay quiet on next steps after Supreme Court transgender sports ruling
Congressional Democrats are staying mum about their potential next moves after the Supreme Court dealt a blow to transgender athletes, underscoring a politically fraught issue that continues to divide the party ahead of the November midterm elections.
The court ruled Tuesday that states may bar biological males from competing on girls and women's school sports teams, upholding laws in Idaho and West Virginia and effectively preserving similar laws in the 25 other states that restrict participation based on biological sex.
The ruling, which prompted cheers among Republicans, did not interfere with the remaining states that continue to allow biological males on girls and women’s sports teams.
Progressive Democrats sharply criticized the decision, while the vast majority of elected officials in the party did not issue public statements. None, however, appeared to outline any legislative response.
TRUMP ADMINISTRATION THREATENS KANSAS SCHOOL DISTRICT FUNDING OVER TRANSGENDER STUDENT POLICY
"I want every trans kid to know that there are people here in Congress fighting for you," Rep. Sarah Jacobs, D-Calif., said in a video posted to social media. "We are going to stand up for all women and girls, which includes trans women and girls."
Jacobs, a junior member of House Democratic leadership and co-chair of the Trans Equality Task Force, did not say whether Democrats would introduce legislation in response to the court’s ruling.
The Congressional Equality Caucus, a Democratic-aligned group advocating for LGBTQ rights, and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., also did not outline any legislative response. The Equality Caucus, however, posted a series of comments on social media slamming the decision, including decrying the outcome as "devastating" for transgender athletes.
Fox News Digital reached out to spokespeople for Jacobs, Jeffries and the Congressional Equality Caucus for comment but did not hear back.
The relatively muted response comes as public polling has consistently found broad opposition to transgender athletes in women’s sports, including among Democrats, suggesting that some lawmakers may be out of step with their own voters.
A survey conducted by The New York Times in 2025 found that nearly eight in 10 Americans opposed biological males competing in women’s sports. Roughly 70% of Democrats or those who "lean Democrat" held that view, according to the poll.
Democrats hailing from the centrist side of the party were largely quiet about the court’s ruling.
Few Democratic lawmakers facing competitive re-election challenges from Republicans commented on the court’s decision, a Fox News Digital analysis of Cook Political Report election data found.
Rep. Don Davis, D-N.C., who is seeking a third House term in a Republican-leaning district, issued a positive statement following the court’s ruling.
"The U.S. Supreme Court delivered a significant ruling affirming that states possess the legal authority to maintain separate sports teams based on biological sex," Davis said in a written statement. "Title IX has played a vital role in expanding athletic opportunities for women and girls, and we must continue safeguarding those opportunities."
DEMOCRATS REVOLT OVER 'BIOLOGICAL' WORDING IN WOMEN'S HISTORY MUSEUM BILL
Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, D-Wash., a top GOP target in November’s midterm elections and a member of the Equality Caucus, acknowledged Wednesday that the trans rights movement misses some of the "nuance" about women’s sports.
"At those town halls, what I saw was that the people who were the most upset, a lot of them had spent the last 12 years driving their girls to sports practice, and they view their best shot of their student getting a college education as an athletic scholarship," Perez told CNN in an interview. "And, so, when we rush to moralize and be like, 'This is all about love vs. hate,' I think we miss some of the nuance."
The Washington Democrat did not directly state whether she agreed with the court’s ruling.
In the Senate, responses to the decision were few and far between. Requests for comment from several Democratic lawmakers’ offices on whether they would seek to challenge the court’s decision should they regain a majority in the upper chamber went unanswered.
Notably silent on the issue was Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., who lauded the Supreme Court's decision upholding birthright citizenship the same day and had posted about attending New York City’s Pride parade days before.
Some of the most vocal supporters of trans rights in the upper chamber did, however, weigh in, vowing to "keep fighting" for transgender athletes.
Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., one of the earliest supporters of LGBTQ rights in the Senate, who introduced the Trans Bill of Rights, charged that the court’s decision "again cleared the way for Trump and MAGA Republicans to discriminate against the trans community."
"This decision tears trans athletes from their teams and the sports they love," Markey, who is in a tight bid for re-election against Rep. Seth Moulton, D-Mass., said on X. "We will keep fighting. Discrimination and hate will not win."
Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., also weighed in, accusing "right-wing extremists and the MAGA movement" of being "determined to single out, target, and harm the trans community."
"My heart is with trans kids and their loved ones," she said on X. "I won’t stop fighting for them."
Alex Ovechkin signs a one-year deal to return for another NHL season with the Capitals
One of the biggest stories at the tail end of the NHL regular season had to do with whether or not we were witnessing the end of Alexander Ovechkin's legendary career.
Well, taking some time to think it over, it appears that the Great 8, the league's all-time leading goal-scorer, is coming back for at least one more season.
The team announced on Thursday that Ovechkin had re-upped with the team on a one-year deal, with a wildly team-friendly $1 million in salary plus a $4.75 million games-played bonus (set at 10 games) and a $3.25 million signing bonus. According to Puckpedia, that equates to a $4,250,000 cap hit.
PENGUINS CAPTAIN SIDNEY CROSBY MAKES IT CLEAR THAT HE HAS NO PLANS TO RETIRE ANYTIME SOON
Not bad for a player of Ovechkin's caliber.
"I’m back!" said Ovechkin in a press release. "Thank you to everyone for giving me and my family the time to make this decision. I’m healthy. I love playing hockey and competing to win. I’m excited to come back and join my teammates so we can fight for a playoff spot and have a chance to win. See you in September, DC!"
We all kind of saw this coming, right?
NHL STAR JONATHAN TOEWS ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT AFTER 16-YEAR CAREER AND THREE STANLEY CUPS
I mean, I think the moment Ovie waved off the Pittsburgh Penguins when they wanted to shake his hand after potentially his last game against them was a clue that he wasn't ready to hang up his smoked visor and yellow laces.
Another clue is the numbers. They don't lie.
Granted, no one but Ovechkin himself knows how his almost 41-year-old body is holding up, but he's still producing at an impressive level.

While last year was a down year compared to the year before, Ovechkin still appeared in all 82 games and potted 64 points, with 32 goals and 32 assists.
He can still play, which is wild when you consider how he plays. It's not like he takes it easy or shies away from physicality.
One last detail about this deal is that it sees Ovechkin taking a 50% pay cut. That's big, as it gives the Caps more wiggle room to make some of the moves they have this summer, including bringing in the likes of Boone Jenner and Alex Tuch.
