The Madison Square Garden wedding of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce was *the* event of the year earlier this month, pulling in over a thousand guests. You couldn't scroll social media without seeing something about it. But when it came to New York Knicks captain Jalen Brunson, who was reportedly on the guest list along with the entire starting five, he was a no-show. And get this, he wasn't even sure the invite was legit!
The Wild Wedding Invite That Maybe Never Was
Talk about a curveball! Swift and Kelce tied the knot on July 3, right there in Madison Square Garden, with a massive crowd of over 1,000 celebrating with them. Rumors were flying, specifically from Page Six, that the whole Knicks starting five , that’s Brunson, Josh Hart, Karl-Anthony Towns, OG Anunoby, and Mikal Bridges , had snagged an invite to the star-studded ceremony. Seriously, imagine that lineup showing up! But Brunson, the dude who leads the squad, spilled the tea to Variety, saying he definitely didn't attend. Even crazier, when asked about the supposed invite, he sounded as confused as the rest of us. "It's a great question. I found out the same way the rest of the world did," he told Variety. "So, I don't know if it was true or not, but I did not attend." Can you believe that? The man himself wasn't even sure if the biggest wedding invite in sports and pop culture was actually real for him or his teammates. That’s wild, right?From Courtside Fans to Wedding Guests (Maybe?)
While Brunson was left scratching his head about a wedding invite, Swift and Kelce were no strangers to supporting the Knicks during their playoff run. We saw them courtside at Game 3 of the NBA Eastern Conference Finals when the Knicks were battling the Cleveland Cavaliers. Brunson actually pointed out that he understood that visit, since Travis and the whole Kelce family are from Ohio. Plus, let's be real, Swift had popped up at Knicks games before, so it wasn't a total shock. Brunson's take on their attendance was classic: "whoever comes, as long as you’re cheering us on, we appreciate it. And I think that was probably a really good game to come to as well." And you know what? He's not wrong. Swift also hit up Game 4 of the NBA Finals, where the Knicks faced off against the San Antonio Spurs, a game that ended in an epic, last-second tip-in from Anunoby for the win. Talk about good luck charms!Life After the "I Do's"
So, Brunson didn't make the cut, or didn't know he did, but the wedding itself was still packed with big names. NFL icon Tom Brady was there, as were a bunch of Kelce's Kansas City Chiefs teammates, and even Rob Gronkowski. That's a serious guest list! Since their massive Madison Square Garden bash, Swift and Kelce haven't exactly slowed down. They were spotted attending the wedding of Kelce's former Chiefs teammate JuJu Smith-Schuster and Laura Kruk in Southern California just last week. The power couple was rocking their new wedding bands at that California ceremony and even welcomed a new dog into their lives. The one thing we're still waiting on? Where these two global superstars are heading for their honeymoon.
