Are Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce halting Selena Gomez’s wedding? Inside the drama behind the delayed "I do"

Selena Gomez’s wedding might be a dreamy September affair in Montecito, but the celebration is reportedly on hold for one major reason—Taylor Swift hasn’t RSVPed yet. According to sources close to the “Single Soon” singer, the longtime friendship between Gomez and Swift is more than just Hollywood optics.

It’s real, emotional, and meaningful—and so is Selena’s wish to have her best friend front and center for the big day.

Sources revealed that Gomez is determined to have both Taylor Swift and her boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce, attend the wedding. Her admiration for the couple appears genuine. “Selena refused to send out a save-the-date until she knew Taylor was free. It’s not optional. Taylor has to be there,” an insider told celebrity columnist Rob Shuter.

That level of dedication isn’t surprising to fans who’ve followed the duo’s bond since their teenage years. Gomez reportedly “adores” Kelce too—not just for his fame, but “for the way he treats” Swift. That sentiment has translated into wedding planning decisions, as Gomez is reportedly arranging the celebration with the couple’s comfort in mind.

What makes this wedding even more anticipated is the intimate, weekend-long vibe Gomez is planning—described as “chill but amazing.”

The star of Emilia Perez isn’t just planning an event; she’s crafting an experience tailored for her closest friends. “She wants Swift by her side from the welcome cocktails to the final toast,” the insider added.

The guest list is expected to be star-studded. Gomez’s fiancé, music producer Benny Blanco, is likely to invite his own A-list circle, while Selena’s Only Murders in the Building co-stars are also expected to attend.

But it’s clear the crown jewel of this event—emotionally, if not socially—is Swift’s presence.As for whether the pop icon will perform? That remains unconfirmed. “But if she does… it’ll be the moment of the night. Selena would love it,” the source said.Also Read: Will Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift attend Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco's wedding or dodge the spotlight?Whether or not Taylor hits the mic, her RSVP could determine when the wedding bells finally ring.
