Well, it’s allegedly the day and almost definitely the weekend. Fans of Taylor Swift, but also her sweet romance with Travis Kelce, have been tracking celebrity wedding plans (and probable wedding misdirects) for weeks and weeks now. Celebrities –though not former pal Blake Lively– have braved the heat and been seen on the streets of New York. Influencers watched myriad items being dropped off at Madison Square Garden this week, and last night we saw noted associates of Swift like Tree Paine and her childhood friend Abigail in formalwear.
It’s been a bit of a frenzy.
While all of these moments have been cited, I think it’s worth pointing out that fans are so interested in clues about the who, what, when and where of this over-the-top event, that people have been sleuthing out things like seemingly innocuous Selena Gomez posts and even Mama Donna’s flight plans. Let’s talk it out.
Selena Gomez Wore A Black Dress To Promote Rare Beauty… On The Way To Event
While we didn’t get a head-to-toe peek at a dress Selena Gomez was seemingly (maybe)(hopefully) wearing out last night, she did post a video to her socials in which she was launching a new Rare Beauty product. However, instead of posting in front of her makeup mirror, which we’ve seen before, she did it from a private car on the way to what seemed to be a Black tie event.
The timing of the post came as reports indicated Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s rehearsal dinner was getting underway. Of course, Gomez would be expected to be there. The two are close friends, and Taylor was even responsible for hyping up the bride at the entrepreneur and Benny Blanco’s own nuptials just last year. The celebrity fashion lover in me does wish she had just teased a little more of that black dress though, because I love the silhouette that we can see.
Fans, of course, made the assumption this was Gomez’s look for the event – and a smart way to market Rare Beauty, too. It certainly had my attention.
Mama Donna Kelce’s Flight Arrival Was All Over The Internet
Taylor Swift’s jet usage used to be a big topic of conversation. Not only does she take private jets a lot, but at one point a Twitter user used to post her movements and follow her around the world. Ergo, fans going out of their way to follow flights is actually not the most unusual thing in the world. Still, fans being so desperate for wedding news they followed Travis Kelce’s mom Donna from Kansas City is pretty wild to me.
Donna Kelce was seen walking around at LaGuardia Airport on Thursday, July 2nd. Someone caught a video, and she had small luggage with her (and presumably had checked more). It’s also worth noting a member of her party seemed to be carrying a formal bag suitable for a suit or a dress. As you probably well know, LaGuardia is a New York-based hub, so Mama Donna was confirmed to be in New York as of yesterday. She’s joining Kelce, who was spotted on a run in the city as early as June 30th.
Other celebrities seen out and about in New York also included Sabrina Carpenter, who broke big after opening for the “Love Story” singer. Musicians Ed Sheeran and Jack Antonoff were spotted around stateside, and Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper were expected to attend. Erin Andrews was also seen in formalwear as the alleged rehearsal dinner went down last night in the early evening.
The Infosys Theater was allegedly where the first of the festivities took place with more to come. We’ll be sure to keep you posted.
