The wedding guest list for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce has been unveiled, highlighting some well-known figures who apparently didn’t make the cut, including a celebrity who previously referred to Swift as a ‘dragon’.
The highly anticipated Swift-Kelce wedding took place on Friday, July 3rd, at Madison Square Garden, marking the union of the famous couple.
Reportedly, the event required all 1000 attendees to sign non-disclosure agreements, which means that while we might not have an official list of who wasn’t present, photos could reveal who was left out.
Taylor Swift’s circle of friends is an illustrious group of celebrity women.
This clique includes names like Jaime King, Hailee Steinfeld, Sarah Hyland, Emma Stone, Lorde, Selena Gomez, Ed Sheeran, Martha Hunt, Lily Aldridge, Gigi Hadid, Cara Delevingne, and Blake Lively.
Although friendships evolve over time, Blake Lively and Taylor Swift shared a particularly close bond, leading to Swift being named the godmother of Lively’s children: James, Inez, and Betty.
Despite this connection, Lively’s attendance at Swift’s wedding seems unlikely, as rumors of a strained friendship surfaced due to Lively’s legal battle related to her film This Ends With Us with co-star and director Justin Baldoni.
The latest reports indicate that Lively sought $8 million in legal fees after a defamation lawsuit brought by Baldoni was dismissed.
The legal conflict has been ongoing for two years, with Lively accusing Baldoni of harassment, sexual misconduct, and a smear campaign during the production of It Ends With Us in 2024.
Baldoni retaliated with a $400 million defamation lawsuit, which was eventually settled out of court.
During this period, details about Lively’s communications began to emerge, including her interactions with Swift and suggestions that Lively leveraged her friendship with Swift to influence the film’s direction away from Baldoni.
Recently, Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds were seen at their daughter’s horse show in Lake Placid, New York, coinciding with Swift’s reported rehearsal dinner at the Garden, according to TMZ.
On the wedding day itself, The Hollywood Reporter noted that there were no sightings of Lively attending the ceremony.
This absence fueled speculation about her non-attendance at her close friend’s wedding.
Still, it’s possible she attended without being caught on camera.
Other notable absences included the Prince and Princess of Wales, who, according to People, did not attend despite Prince William’s previous humorous remarks about wanting to go.
Yahoo reported that Harry Styles, a rumored ex of Swift, was also absent as he is currently on tour.
UNILAD sought a statement from Blake Lively’s representatives regarding the situation.
In preparation for the wedding, Page Six noted an array of food deliveries to Madison Square Garden, providing fans a glimpse into the culinary offerings for the guests.
It appears that the attendees were treated to an extravagant menu, with lobster meat among the items brought into the venue.
Swift and Kelce are apparently enthusiastic about chicken, with various types such as breasts, legs, boneless, and blackened listed on the deliveries.
There were also deliveries of French fries, thick-cut onion rings, and fresh produce, including red and orange peppers, romaine lettuce, eggs, whole milk, and heavy whipping cream.
A Krispy Kreme van was also sighted at the venue, though it remains unknown if guests were served an Original Glazed Dozen, considering a nearby donut store.
A source with ‘direct knowledge’ shared with TMZ that Swift ‘personally curated food stations’ for the wedding, featuring ‘specialty bites’ from several of her favorite eateries.
