It's been dubbed the ceremony of the century, but several A-list stars are thought to have skipped out on Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding.
According to locals in New York, a number of the couple's celebrity pals have been spotted loitering in the Madison Square Garden area, including model Gigi Hadid and her boyfriend Bradley Cooper, TV stars Selena Gomez, Anya Taylor-Joy and Phoebe Waller-Bridge, musicians Ed Sheeran and Camila Cabello, and BBC presenter Graham Norton.
Some stars previously confirmed they'd be in attendance, but haven't yet been spotted by the paparazzi, including NFL San Francisco 49ers player George Kittle, chart-topper Benson Boone and British actress Suki Waterhouse.
Tay and Trav, who got engaged in August 2025 after two years together, are expected to tie the knot in the 'Big Apple' over the weekend, ahead of a handful of later wedding events throughout the year.

The Daily Mail reported that the pair held an intimate dinner for around 100 guests on Thursday (2 July) evening, followed by an extravagant ceremony on Friday, attended by over 1,000 people.
A horde of huge-name performers are reportedly lined up to perform on the night, including Stevie Nicks, Tim McGraw and possibly Paul McCartney, as per Page Six.
Meanwhile, other outlets allege Taylor and her NFL star beau exchanged vows at their low-key soirée last night.
Apparently, however, some almost-guaranteed guest list members have made the decision not to attend either the dinner or the big-name bonanza the following day - including gal pal Selena Gomez's husband Benny Blanco.
The actress, a long-time friend of Taylor - so much so that some fans expected her to be a bridesmaid - was photographed alone earlier this week during the build-up to the first of their many big days, while musician and record producer Benny was nowhere to be seen.
Gomez, 33, also shared an image of herself and her hubby to Instagram on Thursday, cryptically writing: "i wish benny was here rn."
She failed to allude, however, to the reason he was not.
Another alleged absence comes from Hollywood couple Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds.
Like Selena, Gossip Girl star Blake has long been considered one of Taylor's closest friends, with the blonde bombshells often being spotted together enjoying girls' night.
Taylor is also thought to have formed a bond with Deadpool actor Ryan, to whom Blake has been married since 2012, with the pair often poking fun at one another on social media.
According to TMZ, however, the couple chose to spend Thursday a four-hour flight away from Manhattan, at a local farm in Lake Placid. They were photographed at a horse show, cheering on their daughter Betty, who reportedly placed second.
While it hasn't yet been confirmed whether they'll fly over for the larger-scale fiesta on Friday, the couple's absence has sparked concerns over the state of Blake's friendship with Taylor.
Tensions reportedly rose between the duo after the singer was subpoenaed during her friend's legal dispute with actor Justin Baldoni.
He might be one of her former flames, but according to Variety, Taylor extended a wedding invitation to singer Harry Styles.
The pair dated briefly from late 2012 to early 2013, after being famously photographed together walking through Central Park in New York, and Harry reportedly inspired several of Taylor's hits, including 'Out of the Woods' and 'Style'.
Apparently, however, despite being pleased with his invite, Harry has been unable to get himself to the US for his ex's big day, given that he's currently touring the world.
His fiancé, actress Zoë Kravitz, is expected to attend, however, having been a longtime friend to the 'Love Story' hit-maker.
