Taylor Swift gave an emotional wedding speech for Selena Gomez
Taylor Swift was more than a guest. Multiple outlets, including Entertainment Tonight and Us Weekly, reported that Taylor Swift gave a heartfelt speech during the reception. She reflected on years of friendship, remembering times when Selena Gomez struggled through heartbreak. According to one source, Swift said it was “a best friend’s dream for her best friend to find someone like Benny.”
Taylor Swift later praised the entire celebration during an appearance on SiriusXM’s The Morning Mash Up.

Taylor Swift explains why she turned down the Super Bowl halftime show
While Selena Gomez’s post went viral, Taylor Swift was also making headlines for shutting down speculation about the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show. Appearing on NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Oct. 6, Taylor Swift clarified that she was never formally offered the gig and that her focus is on supporting fiancé Travis Kelce during the NFL season.
“Jay-Z has always been very good to me, our teams are really close,” Taylor Swift said. “They sometimes will call and say, ‘How does she feel about it?’ And that’s not an official offer or a conference-room conversation.”
She added that her main reason for saying no is Travis Kelce’s career. “That is violent chess. That is gladiators without swords. That is dangerous. I am locked in on what that man is doing on the field. Can you imagine if he’s out there putting his life on the line and I’m like, ‘I wonder what my choreo should be?’”
Taylor Swift said Kelce has not asked her to turn the show down. “This has nothing to do with Travis, he would love for me to do it. But I’m just too locked in,” she explained.
Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift’s friendship remains unshakable after nearly two decades

With Selena Gomez now married and Taylor Swift preparing for her own wedding to Travis Kelce, the latest Instagram post shows their bond is as strong as ever. Fans celebrated the tribute, praising the decades-long friendship and sharing excitement about both women’s next chapters.
