Taylor Swift has always been a devoted best friend to Selena Gomez, so her presence at the singer’s upcoming wedding to Benny Blanco feels like a given. But whether her fiancé, Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce, will be by her side is far less certain—and it all comes down to NFL scheduling.
NFL commitments could keep Travis Kelce from attending the wedding
Reports suggest that Selena and Benny are set to exchange vows on Saturday, September 27, at a private Montecito venue. If true, the date falls just one day before Kelce and the Chiefs face the Baltimore Ravens at Arrowhead Stadium. NFL players are usually required to adhere to strict curfews the night before games, with People noting that players must be in by 11 p.m. This makes it nearly impossible for Kelce to fly out to California and still prepare for a major matchup.
Fans might remember that Swift once pulled off a nearly impossible turnaround herself—flying directly from her Eras Tour stop in Tokyo to make it to the Super Bowl in time to cheer on Kelce. But with Kelce’s focus locked on game prep, it seems Swift may have to represent them both at her best friend’s wedding.
Swifties hope Taylor Swift will still play a special role in the ceremony
Regardless of whether Kelce can attend, Swift’s bond with Gomez ensures she’ll likely be front and center at the celebration.
Gomez has previously shared that Taylor was one of the first to congratulate her on her engagement, even sweetly commenting on Instagram that she would be the “flower girl.”Also Read: Taylor Swift’s hidden Arrowhead visit fuels rumors of a bigger plan with Travis KelceWhile the idea of Taylor walking in solo has sparked headlines, fans are more focused on the moment itself—two best friends celebrating a milestone together.
