New York [US], July 9: Besides the information surrounding the couple, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce , the guest list at the "wedding of the century" of this famous couple also attracted the attention of many fans. The lavish wedding of the American music billionaire and the top American football star is estimated to have gathered more than 1,000 guests, including family and friends of the bride and groom, along with numerous famous figures from the sports and entertainment world. In addition, the absence of several notable names at the event also sparked discussion.
According to Page Six, American Idol host Ryan Seacrest revealed that he was unable to attend Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding because it coincided with Independence Day and he had work commitments throughout the holiday. "I had initially confirmed my attendance, but then Disney hired me for a special program celebrating the 250th anniversary of Independence Day on July 3rd and 4th. So, I had to miss the celebration," the 51-year-old shared on the show " On Air With Ryan Seacrest ." The host said he was torn between attending the star-studded party at Madison Square Garden or hosting the special. "Believe me, I considered every minute. I couldn't do both. And the wedding actually took place in the late afternoon," Seacrest lamented.
Many other stars also missed this "super wedding." Harry Styles, for example , was busy with the European leg of his Together Tour . His absence was also a point of interest for many fans because the famous British singer had a brief relationship with Taylor Swift from 2012 to 2013. While Styles was absent, his fiancee, Zoe Kravitz, did attend the couple's wedding.
Additionally, according to Berkshire Eagle , music legend James Taylor did not attend Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding but instead performed at a music event. The nearly 80-year-old star shared with the audience: "You know, my wife and I have been invited to a wedding at Madison Square Garden tonight," and sent his best wishes to the bride and groom. Page Six revealed that James Taylor couldn't attend the wedding because he didn't want to break his tradition: performing at his annual Tanglewood Independence Day concert, a tradition he's maintained for over 50 years.
Meanwhile, actor Robert Pattinson shared with Entertainment Tonight that he was absent due to being busy filming the new Batman movie , with a hectic schedule in London (England). In an interview on July 6th, the Twilight star expressed regret upon hearing that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding had a raffle with many valuable prizes such as cars, watches, and designer bags. However, his fiancee, Suki Waterhouse, was able to attend the wedding.
Notably, the absence of Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively from Taylor Swift's wedding caused the most discussion, as they have been very close friends for many years, with Swift even being the godmother to the couple's children. According to Page Six , the Deadpool star and his wife did not receive a wedding invitation. Many sources suggest that the friendship between Taylor Swift and Blake Lively has fractured after the " Cruel Summer" singer became embroiled in a lawsuit between Lively and Justin Baldoni last year.
