Benson Boone has reportedly scored an invite to the Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce wedding, according to TMZ, adding another name to what is shaping up to be one of the biggest guest lists of the year.
Sources familiar with the guest list told TMZ that Boone ‘scored a RSVP’ to the ceremony and ‘is expected to attend, though it’s unclear if he was given a plus one or will bring one.’ His schedule appears to line up: his next confirmed performance after 3 July is not until 7 July.
A Wedding Built on Eras Tour History
The Benson Boone Taylor Swift wedding connection traces back to Wembley Stadium. On 23 June 2024, Boone took the opening slot on the Eras Tour at London’s Wembley Stadium, and used his set to give Swift a shoutout during his Grammy-nominated hit ‘Beautiful Things.’ Swift returned the favour once she hit the stage herself. ‘He’s such a showman,’ she told the crowd. ‘He’s out here doing flips for you!’
That moment put the relationship firmly on the public radar. Fans who had not clocked the connection were left playing catch-up once the TMZ report landed.
Over 1,000 Guests Expected at Madison Square Garden
The scale of the event is hard to overstate. The ceremony is reportedly planned for 3 July, with the couple set to exchange vows at Madison Square Garden in New York City, according to TheCable. The same report puts the expected headcount at between 1,100 and 1,200 attendees, which puts this firmly in the territory of a major live event rather than an intimate ceremony.
Boone joins a rumoured guest list that already reads like a festival lineup: Selena Gomez, Ed Sheeran, Gigi Hadid, Bradley Cooper, Haim, Jack Antonoff, Zoë Kravitz, Cara Delevingne, Lena Dunham, Antoni Porowski, and Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid are all said to be on the list.
Suki Waterhouse Has Her Own Reasons to Be There
One of the more compelling storylines around the guest list involves Suki Waterhouse. According to Vogue, Waterhouse has revealed she will be attending, and has said she hopes to draw some inspiration for her own upcoming wedding to Robert Pattinson. With a venue the size of Madison Square Garden and a reported guest list pushing 1,200 people, there should be plenty of ideas to take note of.
It adds an extra layer to an already packed event. This is not just a wedding that people are attending; it is one that at least some guests are studying.
Will Boone Perform on the Night?
The obvious question, once you clock that Boone is on the list, is whether he will be doing more than just raising a glass. ‘Beautiful Things’ earned him a Grammy nomination and was the track he played when he first shared a stage with Swift in London. The idea of him performing it for the newlyweds has obvious appeal, though nothing has been confirmed.
For now, the guest list continues to grow and 3 July gets closer. With a reported 1,100 to 1,200 people expected inside Madison Square Garden, Boone will have a serious crowd to play to if he does pick up a microphone.
