Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding has been all anybody can talk about this week, but one detail has stirred up some 'Bad Blood' among fans.
The A-list couple exchanged vows in Madison Square Garden, New York, on Friday (3 July), in front of a crowd that read like a who’s who of entertainment and sports.
Fans have been drip-fed information about the nuptials, with many details of the lavish ceremony kept under wraps.
Never ones to miss a detail, Swifties have been piecing together clues from celebrity wedding guests’ social media posts, but one reveal has sparked a mixed reaction among fans.

Jackie Tranquill, the wife of Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Drue Tranquill, was among the 1,000 or so guests who snagged an invite and shared some photos from the weekend to Instagram.
In a carousel post, the mother of three showcased her gorgeous gown, some family photos, and a photo of a black Chanel handbag that she appeared to win in a raffle.
In front of the designer bag, valued at $6,700 (£5,000) on Chanel’s website, Tranquill can be seen holding a ‘Prize Ticket’ complete with a T+T logo.
She captioned the post: “Freedom, Friends & fútbol. Congrats to the newly weds 💍Happy 250th America 🎇& of course, let’s go USA! 🇺🇸WHAT A WEEKEND, WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE🙏🏽“
Fans have gathered that Tranquill won the purse as a prize at Taylor and Travis’ wedding, and it has seriously divided opinions.
While many were eager to compliment Tranquill on her gorgeous wedding look and congratulate her on her raffle win, others were less than impressed.
Reacting to the raffle reveal, one fan wrote: “Taylor’s wedding just keeps getting better with these details! Luxury raffle prizes? Iconic.”
A second raved: “Oh myyy i wish i was invited.”
A third said: “Damn this was a great wedding.”
Meanwhile, others were critical of the Swift and Kelce’s wedding favours, with one viewer describing the giveaway as: “‘Let them eat cake’ behavior.”
Another frustrated social media user wrote: “Hmmm think it’s kinda weird… did she clean out her closet?”
And someone else commented: “That’s so tacky. I guess all that money can’t buy you taste.”
Page Six Hollywood reported that 2000’s pop icon Avril Lavigne also won a Chanel purse over the wedding weekend, and that other prizes included Cartier watches and a 1970 classic Chevy.
The publication revealed that celebrity guests had the chance to win flashy prizes by playing games like skee-ball, mini-golf, and a football-themed ring toss, which earned them raffle tickets.
Ever the showgirl, Swift seems to have pulled out all the stops to keep her guests entertained over the weekend, with musical performances from Stevie Nicks and Paul McCartney.
Guests were also treated to a wedding keepsake from the special day that made a nod to one of Swift’s hit songs.
Country singer Maren Morris shared a photo of the touching detail to her Instagram, alongside photos with fellow singer Kelsea Ballerini dolled up for the star-studded nuptials.
Swift and Kelce have yet to publicly comment or share any details about the special day themselves, but the glimpses shared so far have offered a peek into what was clearly a day to remember.
