Rivaling the Met Gala in both fanfare and fashion<\/a>, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s July 3 wedding<\/a> at Madison Square Garden (the MET&T<\/em> Gala, if you will) saw a procession of 1,000+ guests making up the who’s who of Hollywood and music. Some A-list attendees were to be expected, of course\u2014this is the world’s biggest pop star we’re talking about\u2014but as I scrolled through the paparazzi shots and live updates of Tayvis’s big day, some of the arrivals left me baffled. Tom Hanks? Jessica Alba? Paul Rudd? And how close could the couple possibly be to Ethan Hawke?<\/p>\n While there is certainly much to be discussed<\/a> about what was arguably America’s own version of a royal wedding, I’ve been completely consumed by the guest list. I need to know: Are Taylor and Travis actually<\/em> friends with all these celebrities, or is this the billionaire equivalent of inviting everyone you friended on Facebook after meeting in a bathroom once to your nuptials? It very well may be, considering Swift extended an invite to British host Graham Norton on the fly during a 2025 appearance on his show<\/a>. “If you’re inviting me, it’s very big,” he replied. Oh, how right he was.<\/p>\n I would bet that some of these stars found their invite as head-scratching as I do\u2014like Hawke, for example. Although everyone’s favorite ’90s dreamboat did make an appearance in Swift’s music video for “Fortnight,” he himself told Entertainment Tonight<\/em><\/a> last year that he doubted he’d be seeing the singer tie the knot, joking that he’d be happy enough with an invite to a Chiefs game. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
