**Taylor Swift’s Wedding Plans: Inviting “Almost Everyone” Except Blake Lively to Keep Drama at Bay**
*Published Oct. 20, 2025, 7:50 p.m. ET*
Taylor Swift is taking no chances when it comes to wedding drama. Insiders reveal to RadarOnline.com that the pop superstar plans to invite “almost everyone she knows” to her upcoming nuptials with NFL star Travis Kelce, aiming to silence rumors about celebrity feuds. However, one notable absence from the guest list will be Blake Lively.
### Swift Shares Rare Insight into Wedding Planning
Appearing on *The Graham Norton Show* last week, Swift gushed about her engagement and offered a glimpse into her wedding plans. She confirmed the ceremony will be a “destination wedding” but emphasized that the date is still some time away.
“I’m just doing the album thing now, which is a big thing,” she told Norton. “And then I think the wedding is what happens after that in the scheme of the planning, but I’m so excited about it.”
The singer also hinted that her guest list will be quite extensive.
“I know it’s going to be fun to plan because I think the only stressful wedding is when you have a small amount of space for guests,” she said. “That’s when you have to assess your relationship to see if they’re going to be there.”
Swift added she isn’t limiting the guest list this time around. “Everyone in my bubble will be invited,” she explained.
### Blake Lively Left Off the Guest List
Despite this open-door approach, a close source confirmed to RadarOnline.com that Swift’s once-close friend Blake Lively, 38, will “definitely” not be attending.
“Taylor wants this wedding to be completely drama-free,” the insider shared. “She’s aware that people will look at the guest list for signs of tension or old grudges. So she’s decided to invite broadly – everyone from past collaborators to industry friends – but Blake won’t be among them. Things have cooled between them, and Taylor doesn’t want awkward energy overshadowing the day.”
Swift and Lively were once inseparable, often seen on double dates with their partners and even spending holidays together. Lively’s children’s names famously appeared as Easter eggs in Swift’s 2020 album *Folklore*. However, their friendship reportedly cooled earlier this year amid “creative disagreements” and what one source described as “different life priorities.”
### A Strategic Guest List to Quash Gossip
Another insider described Swift’s wedding guest list as “strategic.”
“Taylor knows the narrative that follows her – every friendship gets scrutinized,” they explained. “By inviting basically everyone relevant in her life – except Blake – she’s removing the oxygen for gossip and in-fighting. If people can’t point to who wasn’t invited, then they can’t build stories around feuds.”
### The Proposal and What’s Next
During her appearance on *The Graham Norton Show*, Swift recounted Kelce’s elaborate proposal, which happened just after they recorded an episode of his New Heights podcast.
“He really crushed it when it came to surprising me,” she said while showing off her engagement ring. “He’d been planning it for weeks behind my back – he had the garden at his house covered in flowers and even built a hedge wall so my tour photographer could hide inside. He went all out – 10 out of 10.”
Speaking earlier on *Heart Breakfast*, Swift praised Kelce’s taste in jewelry.
“He did amazing,” she said about the ring. “It was like, ‘You really know me.’ I didn’t know what I would want, but he did somehow, and that’s kind of a flex.”
### The Biggest Celebration Yet
Friends of the couple believe the wedding will likely take place after Swift completes her *Eras Tour* and releases her next album.
“She’s in total control,” one insider revealed. “Taylor’s will make her wedding her biggest celebration yet – not just for her and Travis, but for everyone who’s stood by her.”
Stay tuned for more updates on this highly anticipated celebration!
