“Take me back to the time when we walked down the aisle / Our whole town came and our mamas cried,” sings Taylor Swift on “Mary, (Oh, My, My),” a throwback gem from her self-titled debut album. Aside from being one of my favorite songs from that era, “Mary” also touches on a question that’s been on people’s minds lately: Who will attend Taylor Swift’s wedding?
After an intimate rehearsal dinner held last night with a few hundred people (including Selena Gomez, Jack Antonoff, and Lena Dunham), the wedding takes place at Madison Square Garden today, July 3. We’ve been drip-fed information, but we always knew this was going to be a royal wedding-level event. In October 2025, Swift indicated that it would be a huge affair, telling Graham Norton that she was going to invite him to the event. He joked, “If you’re inviting me, it’s very big.” Multiple reports say that over 1,000 people have been handed (watermarked) invites, as well as NDAs.
There has been no shortage of guesses, and some expert-level question evasion from rumored guests such as Antonoff and Antoni Porowski. In a rare exception to the veil of secrecy, Suki Waterhouse revealed that she will attend, and is hoping to draw some inspiration for her own upcoming wedding to Robert Pattinson. Variety reports that Swift’s ex Harry Styles was invited, but is unable to attend due to tour commitments. (His partner Zoe Kravitz, though, is expected to be there.)
And who are the other guests? Aside from Swift and Kelce’s families, there are Kelce’s teammates from the Kansas City Chiefs (like Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany, for whom Kelce served as a groomsman), who will more than likely be on the guest list. Andy Reid, coach of the Chiefs, essentially confirmed that he is attending the wedding. When asked if he had received an invitation, he said: “Well, I probably have. You know, I probably have. And if I don’t outgrow my tuxedo before then, I’m going,” he joked.
Of course, there are Swift’s best friends, like the aforementioned Selena Gomez and Lena Dunham, as well as Abigail Anderson Berard (Swift’s childhood friend, a.k.a. the “redhead named Abigail” in “Fifteen”), Gigi Hadid, Ashley Avignone, the Haim sisters, Zoë Kravitz, Emma Stone, Sabrina Carpenter, and Gracie Abrams, to name a few, who are all expected to be there to witness their friend tie the knot.
Aside from entertainment royalty, it was previously thought that there could be some actual royalty, like Prince William and Kate Middleton. When asked about the Swift-Kelce wedding on a recent radio interview on Heart FM, Prince William replied: “No comment.” He added, “I’m hoping and I’m sure there might be an invitation around, but we’ll see.”
The future king is a noted fan of Swift. He once sang on stage with her and Bon Jovi at a charity gala in 2013. In 2024, he attended the Eras Tour with his children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, where he was seen joyously dancing to “Shake It Off,” and took a selfie with Swift and Kelce. However, People reported that the Prince and Princess of Wales will not be at Swift’s wedding.
Not one to forget her roots, Swift has also reportedly invited country stars like Miranda Lambert, Kane Brown, Little Big Town, Kelsea Ballerini, and Maren Morris. Also on the list? Collaborators Max Martin, Shellback, and Aaron Dessner, as well as Bridgerton’s Phoebe Dynevor and fiancé, actor-producer Cameron Fuller, as well as Grey’s Anatomy’s Ellen Pompeo. (One of Swift’s cats takes her name from her character.) There’s also a slew of Disney execs, given that they streamed Swift’s Eras Tour concert film and worked with her on her forthcoming directorial debut.
