From 'a beautiful night' to 'world's greatest hangover', guests react to Taylor and Travis's wedding
Article excerpt
Some of the famous guests have been posting on social media about the big day in New York.
Conservative NFL kicker Harrison Butker was reportedly the only Kansas City Chiefs teammate denied an invitation to Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s massive New York City wedding.
Despite being teammates with Kelce since 2017, Butker did not make the guest list of approximately 1,000 people, an NFL source told the Daily Mail. It’s believed that every other player on the team received an invite, the report noted.
Butker made journalists’ heads spin two years ago when he praised stay-at-home mothers during a commencement speech at Kansas City’s Benedictine College, a Catholic school.
“How many of you are sitting here now, about to cross this stage, and are thinking about all the promotions and titles you are going to get in your career?” Butker said during the commencement speech. “Some of you may go on to lead successful careers in the world. But I would venture to guess that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world.”
“It cannot be overstated that all of my success is made possible because a girl I met in band class back in middle school would convert to the faith, become my wife, and embrace one of the most important titles of all: homemaker,” he added.
It’s unclear, however, if Butker’s remarks had anything to do with the apparent wedding invitation snub. Following the controversy, Kelce actually spoke highly of his kicker, though he said he disagrees with Butker’s views.
“I cherish him as a teammate,” Kelce said. “He’s treated friends and family that I’ve introduced to him with nothing but respect and kindness.”
“When it comes down to his views … those are his,” the three-time Super Bowl champ added. “I can’t say I agree with the majority of it, or just about any of it, outside of just him loving his family and his kids.”
Kelce and Swift tied the knot on Friday at Madison Square Garden. As noted by The Daily Wire, comedian Adam Sandler served as the officiant at the wedding. Kelce bonded with Sandler while filming “Happy Gilmore 2.”
“The bride and groom’s wedding ceremony looks have been created by Christian Dior Haute Couture,” Swift’s team said in a statement. “Their shoes were custom made by Christian Louboutin and the bride wore Cartier jewelry.”
