Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce reportedly invited 1,000 guests to Madison Square Garden to witness the celebrity wedding of the year, and days later we’re still talking about who was (and, perhaps more interestingly, who was not) on that list. Swifties were shook over Karlie Kloss’ golden presence, as the two had a falling out years ago that some fans insist was actually a breakup, but that wasn’t the only blast from the bride’s past in attendance — one A-lister brought another of Matty Healy’s ex-girlfriends.
Liam Hemsworth was in the Garden to see Adam Sandler officiate Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s ceremony, and naturally he brought along his fiancée, Gabriella Brooks, who posted what looked like pre-wedding pics of her and the Hunger Games star on Instagram. Fans were quick to pick up on Brooks’ connection to Swift, as both used to date The 1975 frontman Matty Healy.
Gabriella Brooks reportedly dated Matty Healy from 2015 to 2019 — four years before Taylor Swift’s short-lived romance with him in 2023 that followed her breakup with Joe Alwyn. Swift and Healy may not have been an official item for very long, but the whirlwind romance made quite an impact, with much of The Tortured Poets Department believed to be about Healy.
In the years since, Taylor Swift has apparently gotten close to Gabriella Brooks, who was first linked to Liam Hemsworth in 2019 after her own Matty Healy breakup. Brooks and Hemsworth even attended one of the Eras Tour’s London shows in 2024, per Parade, as she was seen dancing alongside Travis Kelce in the VIP tent.
Surprisingly the connections to Taylor Swift’s ex-boyfriends don’t end there. Sophie Turner was also reportedly on the guest list, and despite both women having dated Joe Jonas, they have a long-established friendship. In fact, when Turner and the Jonas Brother divorced, Swift even let Turner and her daughters stay at her New York apartment — inspiring the actress to call Swift “an absolute hero.”
Then there’s Zoë Kravitz, who is engaged to Harry Styles — another of Taylor Swift’s ex-boyfriends (and song muses). Swift dated the One Direction singer about a million years ago (aka 2012) and has been friends with The Batman actress for over a decade. There’s definitely no bad blood there, and EW reports that Styles was even invited to join his fiancée at the MSG nuptials but was unable to because he’s on tour.
In fact, Harry Styles reportedly surprised fans at his Wembley Stadium concert on Friday by singing “Two Ghosts” — a song widely considered to have been inspired by his and Taylor Swift’s breakup.
A lot has been said (and sung about) over the years regarding Taylor Swift’s dating history, so it’s kind of fun and very interesting to see so many connections to past boyfriends as she settles down with Travis Kelce. You can hear a good sample of Swift’s catalog of music by streaming Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour with a Disney+ subscription.
