MGK— whose real name is Colson Baker — has spoken highly of both Swift, 36, and Kelce, 36, in the past. In a 2024 episode ofHot Ones, when asked to say “three mean things about Taylor Swift,” the musician responded, “Ladies and gentlemen, you have got to be out of your motherf—ing mind if you think I want any smoke with that fanbase.”

“Also, Taylor is a saint and very nice to me, and Travis is my bro,” he added.

And in 2025, MGK opened up about a private conversation he had with Swift while the Kansas City Chiefs were losing the 2025 Super Bowl.

Speaking on ABC News Live, the pop-punk artist and rapper shared: “I was in Travis’ suite, and at the beginning of it Taylor was like, ‘Hell yeah we’re gonna come watch you perform,’ like it’s gonna be crazy tonight,” MGK said during the interview. “By the third quarter, dude, I was looking at that score, I went up to Taylor, I was like, ‘Y’all aren’t coming tonight, huh?'”

He added: “She was like ‘I don’t think so man. I’ll see if I can get him to get out but I don’t think [so].'”

Sources have told PEOPLE that the dress code for Swift and Kelce’s nuptials is black tie.

Swift and Kelce announced their engagement in a joint Instagram post shared on Aug. 26, 2025, which included several photos from their enchanting garden proposal. The pictures showed Kelce getting down on one knee and the pair embracing each other after he popped the question.

“Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married 🧨,” Swift wrote in the caption.

The two first met after Kelce revealed that he tried to give Swift a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it at one of her Eras Tour concerts. Although he was unsuccessful, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end publicly declared his interest in Swift on his New Heights podcast in July 2023, and they began seeing each other shortly afterward, thanks in part to Taylor’s mom.

“I’m looking at the headlines and perusing around on the internet and I see that this guy came to your show and he brought a friendship bracelet and wants to meet you,” Andrea Swift recalled during episode four of Taylor Swift: The End of an Era. “So I call up my resident expert on the Kansas City Chiefs, my cousin Robin, and I go, ‘Tell me about this guy named Travis Kelce.’ ”

Since their relationship went public, the famous couple have both openly shared their love for one another.
