THE RUNDOWN
- Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are reportedly getting married at the end of September in California.
- Taylor Swift’s fiancé, Travis Kelce, may not be able to attend the wedding with her if it is on a weekend.
- Kelce’s Chiefs schedule is public, and the team has games for the next two Sundays.
When Selena Gomez announced her engagement to Benny Blanco in December 2024, Taylor Swift was quick to comment and request a special role in her longtime friend’s wedding: “Yes, I will be the flower girl.”
Now, Swift is engaged herself, and it looks like her fiancé, Travis Kelce, may have a scheduling conflict that could prevent him from joining her at Gomez and Blanco’s wedding. Multiple sources told TMZ on September 5 that the pair plan to get married at the end of September in the Santa Barbara/Montecito area of California. The outlet reported that guests would be shuttled to the wedding’s secret venue.
On September 16, The Sun reported the nuptials will allegedly be on Saturday, September 27. Neither Gomez nor Blanco has confirmed that—and they aren’t likely to, as they have kept their wedding planning mostly private. However, if they wed that weekend or any other in September, Kelce’s football commitments may keep him from attending.
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end and his team will be playing against the New York Giants on Sunday, September 21, at New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium. The following weekend, they have a home game against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, September 28, at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri.
The night before any game, the team has a 11 P.M. curfew, Chiefs player Mecole Hardman Jr.’s fiancée, Chariah Gordon, told People—which makes attending a wedding in a different state unlikely for Kelce.
Swift herself has no public engagements set. The singer will be releasing her new album, The Life of a Showgirl, on October 3 but has otherwise been keeping her activities under wraps. She was last seen on a triple date with Kelce, Patrick and Brittany Mahomes, and Kane and Katelyn Brown on September 14 in Kansas City, Missouri.
