Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce may be planning one of the most anticipated celebrity weddings in recent memory, but when it comes to gifts, the couple apparently wants absolutely nothing. According to NFL star George Kittle, who is among the guests expected to attend the wedding, Swift and Kelce have made one thing crystal clear to everyone invited: do not bring gifts. Speaking to Extra during Tight End University festivities in Nashville, Kittle revealed that the couple specifically requested that guests arrive empty-handed.
“They said absolutely no gifts,” he shared.
Of course, that doesn’t mean everyone is planning to listen.
Kittle admitted he’s already thinking about bending the rules for his longtime friend. The San Francisco 49ers star joked that Kelce has a fascination with old coins and hinted that he may still surprise him with one despite the request.
The revelation offers a small glimpse into how Swift and Kelce are approaching their wedding. Despite being one of the world’s most famous couples, they seem determined to keep certain aspects of the celebration focused on family, friends and the occasion itself rather than extravagant presents.
The comments came during a busy week for the couple as wedding preparations continue alongside Tight End University, the annual event founded by Kelce, George Kittle and Greg Olsen.
Kittle also couldn’t help but mention how impressive it was that Swift made time to attend festivities despite being so close to her wedding day.
“She’s just such an awesome person to give us her time this close to their wedding,” he said.
The pop superstar made headlines this week after surprising attendees with a performance during the Tight Ends & Friends concert in Nashville, further fueling excitement surrounding the couple’s upcoming nuptials.
Reports suggest the wedding is expected to take place during the July 4 weekend, with guests reportedly being asked to maintain complete secrecy about the event. Several high-profile names are rumored to be on the guest list, including some of Swift’s closest celebrity friends and Kelce’s NFL inner circle.
The wedding journey has reportedly been months in the making. Previous reports suggested the couple initially considered a smaller celebration before eventually deciding to expand their plans and include more friends and family.
In recent weeks, both stars have also reportedly celebrated their bachelor and bachelorette festivities separately. Swift is said to have spent time with close friends at her Rhode Island estate, while Kelce enjoyed a weekend with friends in Los Angeles.
While fans may be eager to see every detail from what is shaping up to be one of the biggest celebrity weddings of the year, one thing appears certain: if you’re lucky enough to score an invitation, don’t show up carrying a gift.
At least officially.
