Being invited to Taylor Swift’s wedding to Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce will be an absolute privilege—but being snubbed and left off the guest list could easily become one of the biggest storylines surrounding the bond this couple is about to forge.
Now, leaks suggest that the wedding could feature some shocking absences. According to reports, supermodel Karlie Kloss and actress Blake Lively are among the names currently left off the invitation list.

“Taylor has meticulously gone through her wedding guest list because the people she wants at her wedding are the people she hopes will remain in her life forever,” reports the Daily Mail.
“She wants to be surrounded by those who can genuinely share the love and meaning of the day, especially the people who have played important roles in her life for years,” the source continued. “Over time, some of her friendships have become strained for various reasons.”

The high-profile friendship between Taylor Swift and Karlie Kloss began in 2013 and quickly became one of the most media-frenzied bonds in show business. For years, they were spotted together at events, concerts, and award shows, even sharing public appearances that fueled the image of an unbreakable relationship.
However, that tight bond began to cool down in 2018. That year, Kloss married Joshua Kushner, and Swift skipped the ceremony, citing professional commitments. Her absence raised eyebrows, especially since Scooter Braun—who maintained a professional relationship with the model at the time—was among the attendees.
The rift between the two grew even more evident in 2019 when Braun acquired the master recordings of Swift’s early catalog. The singer reacted fiercely to the deal, calling it one of the most painful experiences of her career, which rapidly fueled speculation of a definitive falling out with Kloss.
“Scooter has stripped me of my life’s work, that I wasn’t given an opportunity to buy,” Swift wrote in a Tumblr post at the time. “Essentially, my musical legacy is about to lie in the hands of someone who tried to dismantle it.”
“She came to believe that Karlie’s intentions were not as genuine as she once thought, and that the friendship became more about proximity to Taylor’s fame than a real bond.”
The Blake Lively fallout: From BFF to wedding snub?
Another missing name that could turn heads at Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding is Blake Lively. The 38-year-old actress has been one of the pop star’s closest confidantes over the last decade, but multiple reports suggest their relationship is going through its rocky waters.
The distance reportedly stems from the lengthy legal dispute between Lively and her It Ends With Us co-star, Justin Baldoni. According to court documents that surfaced during the legal process, the actress referred to Swift as one of her “dragons”—a reference that ultimately dragged the pop icon indirectly into an outside controversy.
The situation did not sit well with Swift. According to sources cited by Page Six, the singer felt “used” during the media and legal storm, while other insiders claim the friendship between the two was severely damaged.
The tension reportedly became evident in December 2024 when Lively sent a private text to Swift asking if there was bad blood between them. In the message, the actress admitted to feeling like a bad friend over the previous months due to being overly consumed by her own problems.
Swift’s reply arrived roughly an hour later, hinting at clear discomfort: “You’re not wrong, but it’s also not that big of a deal.”
While the final guest list remains a closely guarded secret, all signs indicate that Swift’s core circle will be in attendance. Among the names locked in to support her on one of the biggest days of her life are Selena Gomez and Lena Dunham—two loyal friends who have stood by her side for years.
