With a wedding with a reported list of 1,000 people, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s alleged Madison Square Garden celebration still seems to have a velvet rope.
The reported wedding has become a spectacle in hot Manhattan, with fans, photographers, and celebrity onlookers all trying to figure out who will make it inside the Garden. But the more revealing question would be who wouldn’t.
While dozens of lists are reportedly gearing up for that allegedly big night, there’s also a very long list of people who seem to be watching wedding content on Instagram just like the rest of us.
Read on for the most reported, rumored, and speculated names we can’t expect to see inside the Garden tomorrow night.
Prince William and Kate Middleton
Despite weeks of speculation, Prince William and Kate Middleton will not be attending Swift and Kelce’s wedding. A People The report ended speculation that the Prince and Princess of Wales would attend after William joked that he was “hopeful” there might be an invitation during a May appearance on British radio. Hearty Breakfast.
William has known Swift for years, joined her and Jon Bon Jovi on stage in 2013, and later took Prince George and Princess Charlotte on the Eras Tour in London, where the royal family returned to the stage with Swift and Kelce.
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds
Blake Lively was one of the most talked-about wedding absentees because, for years, she was one of Swift’s most visible close friends. In Swift’s Lively-directed music video for “I Bet You Think About Me”, Swift used Lively and Ryan Reynolds’ children’s names in “Betty” and other songs, and the couple was often part of Swift’s social circle, from New York sunrises to the 2024 Super Bowl suite where Swift cheered on Kelce.
The reported list stems from Lively’s legal battle with Justin Baldoni It ends with uswho drew Swift into the drama surrounding it even though she wasn’t part of the film.
As the dispute continues, reports say Swift has been mentioned in court and in text messages, and Baldoni’s side has accused Lively of using her friendship with Swift as leverage when discussing the film. A spokesperson for Swift denied any involvement It ends with us beyond licensing the “My Tears Ricochet” song, but the damage appears to have been done.
Miles Teller and Keleigh Sperry
Miles Teller and his wife, Keleigh Sperry, are also reportedly not on the guest list. Sources close to the couple say that they were not invited, even though they had been close to Swift and Kelce, which is said to have ended because of the match between Swift and Lively, and that Sperry did not want to be involved.
Sperry and Teller were spotted with Swift in the early days of her relationship with Kelce, including the 2024 Super Bowl. Teller also appeared on Travis and Jason Kelce’s New Heights podcast, where he calls Travis “his brother.” It doesn’t look like that anymore.

Karlie Kloss
Karlie Kloss is another name with a long history in Swiftie lore. He and Swift broke up during the event 1989 era, appearing together at events, social media, and even socializing Vogue the cover. Then, over time, public perception decreased, and fan opinions took over.

The widely discussed breakup is often linked to Scooter Braun, who received the master recording of Swift’s Big Machine in 2019, which sparked one of the most public controversies of Swift’s career. Kloss’ 2018 wedding to Joshua Kushner was the subject of speculation because Braun was reportedly a guest, and Swift did not attend.
Kloss’s marital status, however, is messy. Other outlets reported that he was not invited, while TMZ suggested the opposite. Given that he stayed GA on the Eras Tour, I’ll go with the former.
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West
This choice is not surprising. Kardashian and Swift’s history dates back to a 2016 feud over Kanye West’s song “Famous,” after West claimed Swift approved her lyrics, and Kardashian released edited clips of a phone call between West and Swift. The full version of the call was later leaked in 2020, which supported Swift’s claim that she had not been told the most offensive words.

That controversy became one of Swift’s most famous controversies Reputation season, filled with snake emojis, public backlash, and years of fan analysis. Taylor even has a song called “thank you IMee” with the letters “KIM” in all caps. Real subtlety.
Braun scooter
Scooter Braun is also widely thought to be nowhere near the guest list. The reason is obvious: Swift’s long-running dispute with artists began after Braun’s Ithaca Holdings acquired Big Machine Label Group in 2019, giving him primary recording control of Swift’s first six albums. Swift publicly criticized the deal, and the dispute eventually became a major rights issue as Swift began re-recording her older albums.
So yes, Braun’s absence was to be expected.

Calvin Harris
Calvin Harris, Swift’s ex-boyfriend, was also named on the rumored “not invited” list. Its history is less dramatic than Kardashian-West’s, but it was tarnished in 2016 after Swift’s team confirmed that she co-wrote Harris and Rihanna’s “This Is What You Came For” under the pseudonym Nils Sjöberg. Harris responded in a series of tweets, including one accusing Swift’s team of trying to make her look bad after their split. At least we got a really good song out of it.

John Mayer
John Mayer is another ex who may be far, far away from the Garden on July 3. Mayer dated Swift when he was 32, and she was 19. After their split, Swift released “Dear John,” which fans have long believed was about Mayer. Mayer even told Rolling Stone that the song made him feel “really humiliated” and called it “cheap songwriting.”
That “cheap songwriting” is inducted into the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame, but I digress.
Charlie XCX
There are mentions of musicians who are believed to have been called A Showgirl’s LifeCharli XCX is also rumored to be absent. Rumors of a rift between the two started after Charli released the song “Sympathy Is a Knife”. Bratsome listeners interpreted it as a dig at Swift. Swift then appeared to respond with “Actually Romantic,” a song fans believe is about Charli and includes a direct line: “I heard you call me boring Barbie when coke makes you bold.”
Charli is also engaged to George Daniel, the drummer of The 1975 – the same band fronted by Matty Healy, who Swift dated briefly in 2023 and wrote an entire album about in 2024.
Kayla Nicole
Kayla Nicole, Kelce’s ex-girlfriend, is another secret that isn’t particularly surprising. Nicole dated Kelce on and off for about five years before they split in 2022. In October 2023, shortly after Kelce’s relationship with Swift became public, Nicole told. People that he unfollowed Brittany and Patrick Mahomes on Instagram because he needed to “protect himself”, while insisting that he still loved his Kansas City circle.
After Kelce and Swift announced their engagement on Aug. 2025, Nicole wrote about choosing “happiness” on Instagram Stories. Recently, in February 2026, he reflected on his last difficult relationship during a TikTok Live and described his breakup as a case of “right person, wrong time”.
Most weddings don’t include bridesmaids or groomsmen unless everyone involved has reached an unusually high level of emotional maturity, so Nicole’s absence wouldn’t be particularly shocking. Well, besides Harry Styles, of course, who will be there and his fiancée, Zoë Kravitz. Now that is called growth.
