Taylor Swift once joked that “everyone I ever talked to” would be invited to her wedding.
Apparently this isn’t a joke.
About 1,000 guests are expected to attend Swift and Travis Kelsey’s reported wedding this weekend at Madison Square Garden, meaning the guest list is more of a “vow-taking ceremony” than an “intimate gathering.” Although the couple has not publicly acknowledged the full guest list, we are starting to get a rough idea of who will be in the gardens from reports, sightings, interviews, and some very questionable tuxedo fittings.
Here’s who will never attend Taylor Swift’s wedding
So who is reportedly going? Let’s check the seating chart.

Gigi Hadid isn’t just an expected guest. She is reportedly part of the bridal party. Hadid and Swift’s friendship dates back to 2014, and Hadid has publicly supported Swift and Kelsea’s relationship, writing in 2023 that she was “super happy” for Swift. Swift was spotted arriving at Hadid’s New York City apartment on July 1, just days before news of the wedding was announced. Nothing gets you ready for your wedding like some girl time with your best friends.

Selena Gomez was also an obvious guest of Swift’s, and is another reported bridesmaid. The two have been best friends for more than 17 years, and Swift even has a song about Gomez called “Dortea.” Gomez is filming Only Murders in the Building in London, but will be returning to New York for the festival.

Abigail Anderson Berard is more than just a famous friend. She has been Swift’s best friend since childhood, and “Abigail” fans know her from her song “Fifteen.” Elle reported that Anderson Berard was spotted at Swift’s Watch Hill beach house in Rhode Island over the weekend, when Swift was rumored to be single, and was previously expected to attend the wedding. Anderson Berard will serve as Swift’s maid of honor.
andy reed
Chiefs coach Andy Reid is also a likely candidate for an invitation. Reed joked on his radio show that he would “probably” go if he got an invitation and could no longer wear a tuxedo. On June 25th, he was seen picking up a tuxedo. As a man who isn’t attending a wedding, wearing a tuxedo can be a challenge.
zoe kravitz
Zoë Kravitz is a longtime friend of Swift and even co-wrote her song “Lavender Haze” for Midnights. People magazine reported that a source close to Swift said Kravitz had received an invitation, but that her fiancé, Taylor Swift’s ex-boyfriend and 1989 muse Harry Styles, was scheduled to perform in London that night. Hopefully he can take a late night flight across the pond and get to MSG in time.

Ed Sheeran, one of Swift’s oldest friends and collaborators, has already been spotted in New York, about 90 miles away from Aaron Dessner’s Hudson Valley recording studio. Swift herself teased possible involvement in an interview on Britain’s Hits Radio Breakfast Show in October, when asked if Sheeran would sing at her wedding, saying it would be difficult to keep Sheeran from singing. How great it would have been to experience that private concert.

Sabrina Carpenter hasn’t publicly confirmed her attendance, but there are definitely clues. Carpenter, who opened for Swift on several international Ellas tour dates and later became part of Swift’s current musical universe through collaborations with Life of a Showgirl, was also spotted in New York having dinner with friends in the West Village on June 30, just days before the big day.
Suki Waterhouse
Suki Waterhouse literally said she would attend so we can assume she will attend. “I’m going to Taylor’s wedding,” Waterhouse said in an interview with Variety magazine in May, joking that she might find inspiration for her own wedding to actor Robert Pattinson.
She and Swift have been friends for years, being spotted in New York with Cara Delevingne and Dakota Johnson in 2016, dancing together at the 2024 MTV Music Awards, and Waterhouse opening for Swift at Wembley Stadium during her Elas tour.

Mariska Hargitay and Swift have been connected for years, especially through their furry friend, Swift’s cat named Olivia after Hargitay’s Law & Order SVU character. Fans have already started paying attention to Hargitay’s Broadway schedule, as his show “Every Brilliant Thing” was off on July 3, the date of the wedding. We hope she can accomplish that, considering they had so much fun together at Knicks games.
Stevie Nicks and Tim McGraw
Stevie Nicks and Tim McGraw are also reportedly scheduled to attend and perform. Swift has written songs about both music legends “Clara Bow” and aptly named “Tim McGraw.” I hope those songs are high on your request list.

Jack Antonoff is one of the most conceivable names on Swift’s guest list. The producer and Bleachers frontman has worked with Swift for more than a decade, from early collaborations like “Sweeter Than Fiction” to major albums like 1989, Reputation, Lover, Midnights, and Folklore. He is also a close friend in real life, and Swift attended Antonoff and Margaret Qualley’s wedding in New Jersey in August 2023. So if Swift and Kelce are gathering their entourage at MSG, it makes sense that Antonoff and Qualley are friends and guests at their wedding.
cara delevingne
Cara Delevingne is also a longtime friend of Swift’s. Delevingne once lived with Swift during their difficult breakup. In a 2024 conversation, Delevingne said that Swift “took good care of her” but also took Swift on “kind of a wild journey.” Isn’t that what best friends are for?

Estes, Danielle and Alana Haim have long been part of Swift’s inner circle and are expected to be guests at the wedding. Their current association with Swiftworld is also very MSG-specific. Este, Alana, and Swift made headlines for wearing playful “Knicks” graphic T-shirts during Game 4 of the NBA Finals.

Graham Norton has the clearest paper trail of any non-family invitee. In October 2025, Swift appeared on The Graham Norton Show to promote Life of a Showgirl and told Norton that she intended to invite him over. It seems that the invitation was not empty. Norton was photographed arriving at JFK Airport on July 2, ahead of her reported wedding weekend. Mr Norton joked on the Wanging On podcast in January that he had signed “so many NDAs”, but later clarified that was a “joke”. Graham, of course. of course.
Patrick Mahomes and Brittany Mahomes
Patrick Mahomes and Brittany Mahomes are widely expected to be listed on Kelce’s side. Patrick is Kelce’s quarterback, teammate, best friend and one of the central figures in the Chiefs’ dynasty. Kelce served as a groomsman at Mahomes’ 2022 wedding, so it makes sense that Mahomes would return the favor.

George Kittle, tight end for the San Francisco 49ers and co-founder of Kelce’s Tight End University, also confirmed his attendance. People reports that Kittle told ExtraTV at the Tight Ends and Friends concert that the couple had a strict no-gift rule, and then joked that he might give Kelce old money.
What do you think of the New York Knicks’ starting lineup?
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It may be loading or it may have been deleted.
On July 2, it was reported that the Knicks’ starting lineup would return to Garden Hall, but this time as guests of a wedding. However, star player Josh Hart debunked this rumor. Perhaps after winning another championship?
Again, Swift and Kelsey have not publicly acknowledged the final guest list, so all of this still exists in a world of reports, sightings, public comments, and heavily analyzed celebrity information. But if even half of these names make it inside the garden, “Everyone I’ve Ever Talked To” might not be such an exaggeration.
