Taylor Swift's blockbuster New York wedding to NFL star Travis Kelce on 3 July drew more than 1,000 guests to Madison Square Garden, but Meghan Markle was reportedly nowhere to be seen after being left off the singer's closely guarded invite list. According to a source cited by US columnist Rob Shuter, the Duchess of Sussex had hoped to attend, only to find that Swift and Kelce were determined not to hand out tickets merely for the publicity.
Swift's marriage to the Kansas City Chiefs tight end has already taken on the air of a pop‑culture event rather than a standard celebrity wedding. A‑listers flew into Manhattan, the venue was one of the most recognisable arenas on the planet, and yet the couple, both acutely familiar with the machinery of fame, are said to have approached the guest list with what one insider described as 'super intentional' care. The message, if the reports are accurate, was that even royalty could not assume automatic entry.
