Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s wedding brought many top figures from the world of entertainment and sports, including a special figure in Swift’s life.
Vanessa Bryant, the widow of late NBA star Kobe Bryant, shared some images from the wedding that she attended along with 23-year-old daughter Natalia. The posts captured some viral attention, a rare glimpse into the relatively private family’s life.
Vanessa Bryant Shares Her Look for Kelce-Swift Wedding
As People magazine reported, both Natalia and Vanessa Bryant shared posts of their preparation for the Kelce-Swift wedding.
“One day after the superstar couple’s New York City nuptials, the mother-daughter duo gave their followers on social media a sneak peek at their outfits,” the report noted. “Natalia, 23, showed off her royal blue dress in a carousel on Instagram that she captioned, ‘Something blue.’ ”
“Meanwhile, Vanessa, 44, posted a smiling selfie with Natalia that she captioned, ‘T&T 🫶🏽’ ”
As the People magazine report added, Swift made a special connection with the Bryant family during her tour stops in Los Angeles.
“Natalia and Vanessa have a long history with Swift. In 2015, the singer brought out Vanessa’s late husband, Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant, as a surprise guest at her concert,” the report noted.
Swift later brought the couple’s other daughter, Gianna, on stage during her Eras Tour concert stop in Los Angeles. Kobe Bryant had offered praise for Swift, comparing her killer instinct to his own.
“You can’t have that level of consistent success and not be a killer. It’s impossible,” Bryant said, via People.
More Exclusive Wedding Details Leak
While Bryant and other guests have given a glimpse of their experiences at the Kelce-Swift wedding, the couple themselves have not revealed any details. Swift’s representative put out a short statement after they tied the knot, but neither she nor Kelce have spoken publicly since tying the knot at Madison Square Garden on July 3.
One source told the New York Post’s Page Six that Swift and Kelce seemed at ease and in love during the receptions.
“Taylor and Travis looked completely relaxed, even with everything going on,” the attendee told the outlet. “You’d catch them leaning in to whisper to each other and laughing before going back to their guests.
“They made a point of circulating and it seemed like they genuinely wanted every guest to feel appreciated and welcome.”
Another source revealed the reason that the details have been kept so well under wraps — a tight privacy policy from the couple.
“Nobody seemed bothered by giving up their phones because everyone understood why,” the source said. “It actually made people more present throughout the evening.”
Kelce and Swift are reportedly taking a break before heading off on their honeymoon, with plans to attend the wedding for Kelce’s former Chiefs teammate JuJu Smith-Schuster next weekend. Kelce has several weeks off before he needs to report to the team’s training camp at the end of the month, while Swift is in a quiet period with no tour and no announced plans for a new album.
