Taylor Swift is slated to attend Selena Gomez's wedding to Benny Blanco this weekend in Montecito, California, but she will not be checking into a local hotel. A Page Six source said the pop star will stay in a private rental house near the wedding grounds for security reasons. Gomez and Blanco are planning an intimate two-day celebration, with details about the ceremony and guest list being tightly held.
It is unclear whether Swift's fiancé, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, will attend, though those close to the situation say his presence is unlikely. The wedding weekend is expected to draw a star-studded guest list from Gomez's circle and Blanco's collaborators, but organizers have kept specifics private.
Gomez and Blanco became engaged in December 2024 after about 18 months of dating. When Gomez announced her engagement to Blanco, Swift commented on Instagram, 'Yes, I will be the flower girl.' The couple's wedding is described as private and tightly staged, with the couple limiting access to the venue and guest list.
Sources say the guest list will include Gomez's co-stars from Only Murders in the Building—Steve Martin and Martin Short—and a number of Blanco's music collaborators. It was reported that Meryl Streep is not expected to attend. Gomez celebrated her bachelorette party on a yacht in Cabo San Lucas this summer with friends including Raquelle Stevens, Ashley Cook and Courtney Lopez.
It is unclear whether Kelce will attend the wedding; his schedule against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday at Arrowhead could complicate travel. Swift's security team reportedly believes a private home offers safer and more discreet access than a hotel.
Blanco, whose real name is Benjamin Levin, has a history of lavish events. Reports note that he spent the prior weekend at the Chairman Villa at Resorts World Las Vegas, a setting that underscores the private and high-profile nature of the union. The couple became engaged in December 2024 after about a year and a half of dating.
While Gomez and Blanco's wedding plans remain under wraps, public comment from Gomez's circle has shown the close ties to Swift. The event's secrecy and private home lodging underscore the effort to keep the weekend intimate and secure. No official confirmation has been issued by Gomez's representatives.
