Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are set to celebrate their own wedding in New York before traveling to Orange County, California, to attend the wedding of Kelce’s former Kansas City Chiefs teammate JuJu Smith-Schuster on July 11. The trip comes after Kelce left
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are set to step into married life with a wedding weekend that starts in Manhattan and keeps moving afterward, with one extra celebration already locked in.
On Friday night. the couple will mark their wedding at a transformed Madison Square Garden. with New York police closing streets around the venue as the preparations shift from rehearsal to the main event. Before that. a rehearsal dinner took place on Thursday night with the couple’s closest circle in attendance. ahead of a guest list that expands for the big party on Friday.
While the focus is naturally on their own ceremony, it has also been revealed that Swift and Kelce will attend another wedding celebration next week as newlyweds.
JuJu Smith-Schuster is set to marry Laura Kruk on July 11 in Orange County, California. The report says Kelce and his wife are expected to be there to join the celebrations.
Kelce and Smith-Schuster are no longer teammates. The wide receiver has recently left the Kansas City Chiefs to sign for the New York Giants. Still. the connection between them is clear from their past—Smith-Schuster and Kelce won a Super Bowl together with the Chiefs at the end of the 2023 season. when the team beat the Philadelphia Eagles. with Jason Kelce in the Eagles’ lineup.
After that win, Smith-Schuster briefly joined the New England Patriots before returning to the Chiefs. When news of Smith-Schuster’s move to the Giants was confirmed in early June, Kelce reacted on social media, writing “NY, NY” with three fire emojis on his ex-teammate’s post about the switch.
Kelce also spoke about what Smith-Schuster meant during their time together, saying: “That hurt, man. Another guy that came in and was really the leader of that wide receiver group for us last year. For him to be a first-year guy on the team and kinda take the group and really just set the tone for work ethic and attention to detail and things like that for a lot of the young guys. Can’t say enough about what JuJu was for us last year.”.
As for who Kelce has invited into Manhattan for his wedding week, it remains a secret beyond the obvious names. The expectation is that several Chiefs stars will attend, including quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany.
The rehearsals add another layer to the story. Thursday’s event is described as smaller, with the couple’s closest friends present before Friday’s guest list grows. There has also been reporting that some members of Kelce’s NFL friend-group were left unhappy over not being invited to Thursday’s luxury event.
Whether anyone decides to turn that into a moment—on a week that’s already packed with major milestones—will be watched closely.
After all, Kelce’s schedule isn’t just social. He announced a surprise episode of his New Heights podcast for Friday morning, with a mystery guest. Fans quickly guessed it could be Swift’s brother Austin or her father Scott. but one of the show’s producers later said on X that nobody had guessed correctly when the news broke.
The timeline is now unmistakable: Thursday’s rehearsal dinner in Manhattan. Friday’s wedding at Madison Square Garden. and then the trip to Orange County for Smith-Schuster and Laura Kruk’s wedding on July 11—one more sign that this isn’t just a single-day celebration. it’s the start of a packed new chapter for the newlyweds.
