Taylor Swift’s reported upcoming wedding to Travis Kelce is attracting attention not only because of the high-profile nature of the event, but also because of the rumored guest list. According to the report, the couple is expected to marry in early July in New York City, and Swift is said to be personally calling select guests rather than sending out save-the-date cards, reportedly to reduce the risk of leaks before the ceremony.
One of the most notable names said to be absent is model Karlie Kloss, a former close friend of Swift. The two were once publicly inseparable, appearing together at events and in music-related projects, but their relationship appears to have weakened by 2017 and had clearly faded by 2019, when Swift did not attend Kloss’s wedding to Joshua Kushner. Sources quoted in the report say Swift has intentionally cut ties over a broken sense of trust.
The insider claims Swift carefully curates her guest list to include only people she expects to remain in her life long-term. The source said that some friendships have become strained over time and that Kloss is among those not expected to receive an invitation. The report further states that Swift felt Kloss’s intentions were not fully genuine and came to believe the friendship was shaped more by closeness to Swift’s fame than by a real personal bond.
A major factor cited in the alleged fallout was Kloss’s association with music executive Scooter Braun. Braun’s 2019 purchase of Big Machine Label Group, Swift’s former record label, was a major source of controversy in Swift’s career. The source said Swift views people closely aligned with Braun as difficult to trust, and that Kloss’s connection to him became a serious issue.
Another version of the story suggests politics may have also played a role. Kloss is married to Joshua Kushner, whose family is tied to Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump. The report notes that Swift has publicly clashed with Donald Trump and has been vocal in her political views, which may have added tension to the friendship. Still, one source said Swift and Kloss remain acquaintances, pointing out that Kloss attended Swift’s Eras Tour concert in 2023 and liked Swift’s engagement post in August 2025.
The wedding itself remains unconfirmed by the couple, but reports say it is expected to take place around July 3 in New York City. The ceremony is expected to draw major celebrity names, including Selena Gomez, while also reflecting Swift’s preference for a close inner circle at one of the most private and closely watched celebrity weddings in recent memory.
