“I never thought Taylor would be that kind of person.” The truth behind the story has now been revealed here
It is known that Taylor Swift’s husband-to-be and this friend have been close since 2019. Recently, Andrew Santino – Travis Kelce’s best friend – expressed doubts about being invited to the wedding of the NFL star and Taylor Swift. “I doubt it. I don’t think I’ll be invited. She controls the guest list. I’m not on it. Travis is like a son to me, and I love him dearly. But I highly doubt it…” Santino said on the Pardon My Take podcast.
The comedian added that he might be invited to the bachelor party instead of the wedding: “Two days ago I called Travis to congratulate him. Maybe I’ll get an invite to the bachelor party. I can go to the bachelor party without going to the wedding. Honestly, I’d prefer that.”
Travis Kelce and Andrew Santino have been close friends since 2019. The comedian’s revelation that Taylor Swift controls the guest list and didn’t include him sparked heated debate. The 1989-born singer was criticized as being controlling — not even married yet but already said to be “pushing aside” her fiancé’s close friends from the wedding.
In the early hours of August 26, social media exploded when Taylor Swift and NFL star Travis Kelce announced their engagement. On her personal page, the global superstar shared a series of romantic photos of Kelce proposing to her in a field of flowers, with a massive diamond ring, captioned humorously: “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.”
Travis Kelce proposed with a custom-made ring from Artifex Fine Jewelry, crafted in gold and featuring a north–south–set diamond cut in the Old Mine Brilliant style — a traditional hand-cut diamond technique from the 18th–19th century, perfectly matching the bride-to-be’s sweet, vintage style. Experts have valued the ring at up to $1 million.
Ed Kelce, Travis Kelce’s father, revealed that his son actually proposed two weeks earlier but kept it secret from the media. The public announcement on July 27 was simply a date Taylor Swift considered special to share the happy news with fans.
As early as late 2023, Page Six reported that Travis Kelce had asked Taylor Swift’s father for permission to propose. Sources said Scott Swift agreed and strongly supported Kelce. The NFL star even spoke with friends about the engagement ring, showing he was serious about their future together and preparing to make Swift his wife after only a few months of dating.
According to Page Six, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce plan to hold a private wedding with only family and close friends, rather than a flashy celebrity-packed “super wedding.” They are in no rush and are expected to marry next summer. At present, however, Swift is said to be more focused on planning for children. The wedding venue is rumored to be her beloved Rhode Island mansion.
