Prince William, Kate Middleton on Taylor Swift’s guest list? Inside her fairytale wedding plans

Taylor Swift’s upcoming wedding to NFL star Travis Kelce is shaping up to be the event of the decade and maybe even a royal-level celebration.

Here’s why fans and insiders are calling it “America’s royal wedding.”

1. The guest list could include actual royalty

During her recent appearance on The Graham Norton Show, Swift joked that she plans to invite “anyone I’ve ever spoken to” to her big day and that includes Prince William and Kate Middleton.

The pop icon has shared a long-standing friendship with the royal couple that dates back more than ten years.

2. The royals are already fans of the couple

Both William and Kate, along with millions of others, liked Swift’s August 26 Instagram post announcing her engagement.

“Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,” she captioned the photos a post even Meghan Markle couldn’t resist liking.

3. They’ve met the royal kids too

In June 2024, Prince William brought Prince George and Princess Charlotte to Swift’s Eras Tour stop in London. The group took a cheerful selfie, later posted to the royals’ official Instagram with the caption, “Thank you @taylorswift for a great evening! #LondonTSTheErastour.”

4. A friendship filled with iconic moments

Swift and William’s bond goes way back to 2013, when she famously pulled the prince onstage to sing Livin’ on a Prayer with Jon Bon Jovi.

“If Taylor Swift looks you in the eye, touches your arm, and says, ‘Come with me…’ I got up like a puppy,” William later admitted in 2021.

5. The power couple energy

According to PEOPLE’s Erin Hill, “Taylor isn’t just a pop star — she’s the ultimate showgirl. And Travis… has the kind of charisma and swagger that matches her wattage.” Together, they’re “a cultural juggernaut.”

6. Wedding worthy of old Hollywood

Hill adds that Swift and Kelce could “revive that bygone Hollywood tradition” of turning a wedding into a global event — like Grace Kelly’s fairytale or Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio’s union.

7. The spectacle we all deserve

While many celebrities opt for quiet elopements, Hill says, “Taylor and Travis have the chance to give us something truly show-stopping.” And honestly — who wouldn’t want a little sparkle, music, and maybe a touch of royalty?
