They say you aren’t truly “royal” unless your guest list causes a global shortage of envelope windows, and when Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding takes place, you can bet that will happen.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce
With their engagement today confirmed, whispers and leaks are already dribbling in about who will be there, who almost won’t, and what the guest list might tell us about them.
Here’s what we know, what we can guess and what could make their guest list one for the history books.
Family, Friends, and Musical Fam.
People close to Taylor and Travis are almost certainly going to be seated in prime spots.
Swift’s parents, Scott and Andrea Swift, will likely be centre stage.
On Travis’s side, his mother Donna, his father, and the Kelce siblings will definitely feature prominently in all the speculation.
Names mentioned in multiple sources of those invited include Selena Gomez, Ashley Avignone, Abigail Anderson, Zoë Kravitz, and the Haim sisters.

Who Might Be There—and Who Probably Won’t
Given their star power, it’s almost criminal not to expect a celebrity-heavy guest roster. Here are just a few of the big names being floated, plus some who might be left off.
From what we know, Ed Sheeran, a longtime friend of Swift, is likely to make the final cut.
Gigi Hadid is rumoured to be very involved in rave planning and perhaps bridesmaid duties.
Cara Delevingne and Phoebe Waller-Bridge, fashionable, artistic friends-of-friends with connections to Swift, could potentially make the invite list.
And then some are probably not invited.
Blake Lively was once thought to be a close friend of the mega superstar, but Lively’s ongoing legal issues have led sources to suggest that her name has been dropped from the running.
Justin Bieber & Hailey Bieber are unsurprisingly rumoured to be on the outs, in terms of inclusion in this event.
Bottom-Line
The wedding has not happened yet, and a date has not yet been confirmed, but the guest list is already shaping up to be a who is who of the Swift & Kelce world: friends, family, beat collaborators, sports teammates.
When it happens, this wedding won’t just be an event.
It’ll be a cultural moment, an American “royal wedding,” of sorts.
And the guest list will be part of the story: who was there, who wasn’t, what that says about power, friendships, loyalty, fame.
