Ever since Taylor Swift came onto the music scene in the late 2000s, she has made connections with everybody and anybody in the entertainment world. She and her now-husband, Travis Kelce, just got married on July 3rd at Madison Square Garden in a 1,000-person wedding, and it was truly a who’s who of industry titans and beloved celebrities. In fact, there were quite a few celebrities whose invitations people didn’t quite understand.
From A-listers like Brad Pitt to controversial comedians like Sacha Baron Cohen, there were quite a few random celebrities that even Swifties don’t understand got invited. However, there are a bunch of other celebrities like Avril Lavigne and Joey King who have a history with Swift that many may have forgotten about until now.
While the Madison Square Garden wedding is no more, people are still talking about it. And people are still talking about the most random celebrities who were at Swift and Kelce’s wedding.
Below, see the most random celebrities who were invited to Swift and Kelce’s wedding.

Zadie Smith’s appearance at the Kelce and Swift wedding is also rather confusing because the only known interaction was back in 2016. At the 2016 Met Gala, Swift and Smith were photographed chatting together, but that’s about it.
