How Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Know Their Celebrity Wedding Guests
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's loved ones are ready to see the lights, the party and the ball gowns.
While some of the star-studded guests at the "Karma" singer and Kansas City Chiefs player's wedding at Madison Square Garden on July 3 were familiar faces, like her pals Zoë Kravitz and Gigi Hadid, others weren't as easy to place for Swifties.
Take, for instance, Machine Gun Kelly, who stepped out in black slacks, a white button-up shirt and a vest for the occasion. The "Bloody Valentine" singer—who accessorized his look with a silver belt chain and a safety pin on his tie—was on the groom's side thanks to their longtime friendship.
In fact, the tight end had revealed that he grew up "right down the street" from MGK (real name Colson Baker) in Cleveland. He explained at the 2023 Kelce Jam, "I knew of Cols growing up. But for the most part, I've just been a big, big fan of his through high school, through college."
Kelce, 36, added, "Being able to see his success has been really cool, knowing that we're from the same area."
Meanwhile, Dakota Johnson was cheering on Kelce and Swift's love story from the bride's side. She arrived in a black asymmetrical black gown, matching heels and a silver-studded black purse.
While Swift and the 50 Shades of Grey actress have been making friendship bracelets since 2016, the former shared a rare glimpse into their friendship earlier this year.
"As her friend, I can vouch for her realness," she wrote in a Time essay after Dakota was selected as one of their 100 Most Influential People of 2026, "but add that she's also one of the most empathetic people I've ever known."
Other guests enchanted Swift while working together, including Ethan Hawke, who costarred in her "Fortnight" music video in April 2024. The Gattica star arrived in a classic black suit and tie alongside wife Ryan Hawke.
Hugh Grant was just a guy standing in front of Swift, watching her sing at the Eras Tour in London when he befriended Kelce. As he teased on X in June 2024, "You have an incredible show, an amazing and v hospitable team and excellent if gigantic boyfriend (#tequilashots)."
And for Jason Sudeikis, it was the best of both worlds. After all, the Ted Lasso actor—who shares two kids with ex Olivia Wilde—is a well-known Kansas City Chiefs fan and a huge Swiftie. He even thanked Swift for taking her Eras tour to Kansas City, calling her the city's "adopted daughter."
