There are no photos yet from Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey’s wedding. Here’s why:
A photo of Taylor Swift in her wedding dress has been posted online. USA TODAY’s Melina Khan explains why the photo you saw is likely fake.
One of the lucky guests who attended Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding can say, “Thank you for the lovely bouquet.” However, it’s debatable how pretty that bouquet was.
Ashley Smith, the sister of Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs teammate Trey Smith, said in a social media post that she caught Swift’s bouquet at her July 3 wedding.
Ashley Smith wrote on Instagram: “Somehow…I ended up getting Tay Tay’s bouquet of flowers.” “So I want to believe that this will bring me a lifetime’s worth of love, luck, and laughter.”
The caption included a series of images of Ashley and Trey Smith before their wedding, as well as a photo of Ashley holding a bouquet of flowers. The final slide showed off the white napkins guests received, embroidered with the lyrics “So it’s going to be ever…” from “Blank Space.”
Swift and Travis tied the knot in a huge gala at Madison Square Garden in New York City with a star-studded guest list. Those in attendance included A-list celebrity guests such as Selena Gomez, Ed Sheeran and Bradley Cooper, as well as Kelsey’s teammates and other figures from the sports world.
Fan joke bouquet: “There were better times”
The bouquet toss is a long-standing wedding tradition in which the bride tosses her bouquet over her shoulder to a group of single women. The person who catches it is thought to be the “next” to get married, according to Brides magazine.
Ashley Smith, who reportedly received a bouquet from Swift, shared several photos of herself holding a bunch of pale pink flowers on Instagram.
However, some commenters were quick to point out that some of the flowers were hanging from the clusters and looked like they were already rotting in the photo.
“That bouquet has seen better days,” one commenter wrote.
While New York’s hot and humid weather on July 3 may have caused the flowers to bloom, some commenters speculated that the bouquet toss itself may have disturbed the bouquet.
One commenter said: “The bouquet was a pain.” “The girls were fighting.”
Another wrote: “That bouquet looks torn to pieces. I know the girls fought for this bouquet like their lives depended on it.”
