Ladies and gentlemen, will you please stand?
Taylor Swift was on hand to see longtime bestie Selena Gomez say “I do” to Benny Blanco on Saturday, and even gave a speech at the reception, according to PEOPLE.
The nuptials came amid Swift’s ongoing rollout for her hotly anticipated 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, which will see her traversing the globe to promote it. Post-wedding, Swift is scheduled to appear on The Graham Norton Show, which shoots in the U.K., on Oct. 3, and will then be in New York for a taping of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Oct. 6.

Her busy schedule aside, it’s hardly a surprise the singer would show up to support the couple. When Gomez and Blanco announced their engagement on Instagram in December 2024 after a year-and-a-half of dating, Swift jokingly commented, “Yes, I will be the flower girl.”
As for Swift’s fiancé, Travis Kelce, it’s unlikely that he was in attendance, because his NFL team, the Kansas City Chiefs, has a game on Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens at Arrowhead Stadium.
Gomez and Swift have a decades-long history of supporting one another. The besties first met in 2008, and were first seen together when they stepped out for dinner with Joe and Nick Jonas, when Swift was dating the former and Gomez the latter.
Those relationships didn’t last, but their friendship did. Over the years, the two have taken turns cheering each other on at award shows and various industry events, and have championed each other’s work and life milestones alike.
According to TMZ, the Lover singer first touched down in Santa Barbara, Calif., on Friday, where she was reportedly seen behind a bunch of umbrellas getting off of a private plane. (As documented in the Miss Americana documentary, it is a trick the singer frequently uses to avoid paparazzi taking her photo.)
According to Page Six, Gomez and Blanco reportedly tied the knot as part of an intimate two-day celebration in Montecito, Calif., this weekend. In addition to Swift, Gomez’s Only Murders in the Building costars Steve Martin and Martin Short were in attendance, as were some of music producer Blanco’s famous collaborators.

PEOPLE reports that other celebs in attendance included Ed Sheeran, Finneas, SZA, Camila Cabello, Paris Hilton, Paul Rudd, Cara Delevingne, Eric André, and Gomez’s Emilia Pérez costars Zoe Saldaña and Édgar RamÃrez, plus a DJ set by Mark Ronson.
According to Gomez’s mother, Mandy Teefey, the bride was walked down the aisle by her grandfather, David Michael Cornett.
“What a perfect celebration for the most kick ass couple I know! The evening couldn’t have been more beautiful and perfect! Absolutely flawless,” Teefey wrote on Instagram. “It was a fairytale come true and it was beyond heartwarming watching my father walk her down the aisle!”
