Selena Gomez has confirmed that her husband, music producer Benny Blanco, was by her side at Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding. Gomez had previously sparked fan concern after posting about missing Blanco following the event's rehearsal dinner.
Swift and Kelce, both 36, were married on Friday at Madison Square Garden in a ceremony attended by approximately 1,000 guests, including numerous celebrities. Gomez, 33, later shared photos of herself and Blanco, 38, in their wedding attire. Gomez wore a dazzling gold dress, while Blanco sported a black suit and bow tie.
Wedding Festivities and Guest Appearances
The wedding festivities, which had been kept under strict secrecy with guests reportedly signing non-disclosure agreements, took place amidst significant public attention. The announcement of the union was made Friday evening with a simple message displayed at Madison Square Garden, followed by an email blast from Swift's publicist, Tree Paine. The statement detailed that both the bride and groom's wedding attire was designed by Christian Dior Haute Couture, with Cartier jewelry for Swift and custom Christian Louboutin shoes.
Swift's brother, Austin Swift, served as her Man of Honor, and Travis Kelce's brother, Jason Kelce, was the Best Man. The ceremony was officiated by friend Adam Sandler. Reports suggest Swift performed for her new husband and guests, potentially alongside musicians Stevie Nicks and Paul McCartney, though no visual confirmation from inside the venue has been released.
A summer storm swept across Manhattan shortly after the ceremony, which some interpreted as a sign of good luck.
Celebrity Attendees and Social Media Buzz
A-list guests, including Steven Spielberg, Jay Z, Paul McCartney, Graham Norton, and Beyonce, arrived in discreet vehicles as streets around Madison Square Garden were temporarily closed. Swift's inner circle was present, with friends like Gigi Hadid, Selena Gomez, Lena Dunham, Ellie Goulding, Dakota Johnson, and Abigail Anderson Berard in attendance. Karlie Kloss also made an appearance with her husband, Joshua Kushner.
Travis Kelce was accompanied by his brother Jason, members of the Kansas City Chiefs, and friends Ross Travis and Aric Jones.
Gomez had drawn some criticism earlier in the week for a social media post made en route to the rehearsal dinner, which appeared to promote a lipstick from her Rare Beauty brand. This move came despite claims that guests were required to sign NDAs regarding wedding details. Swift had previously attended Gomez's wedding to Benny Blanco in September, although Kelce was reportedly not present at that event.
