Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are preparing for the second day of their wedding festivities at Madison Square Garden, with the lavish celebration expected to bring together around 1,000 famous guests to toast their romance.
A-list names from Hollywood, the music industry and the sports world have flocked to New York City for the glittering, celebrity-packed occasion.
Still, the glamorous gathering could come with a touch of unease, as several high-profile former couples may find themselves crossing paths.
With Jack Antonoff and Lena Dunham, Suki Waterhouse and Bradley Cooper, and Ed Sheeran and Ellie Goulding all among the names linked to the event, a few potentially uncomfortable encounters could be on the cards.
Antonoff, Swift’s longtime musical collaborator, and Dunham, one of her close friends, were each seen arriving separately at Madison Square Garden on the opening day of Swift’s wedding celebrations, making it likely they will also be present for tonight’s party.
The former couple were in a relationship for five years, from 2012 until 2018, and Dunham later admitted in her memoir Famesick that she had been unfaithful to the producer.
Waterhouse and Cooper are also both said to be confirmed guests at the celebration, years after dating between 2013 and 2015.
Cooper has since been romantically linked to Gigi Hadid, one of Swift’s longtime friends, a connection that appears to have landed him a place on the exclusive guest list.

Hadid may also have to see one of her exes at the party: Zayn Malik. It’s unclear whether or not the One Direction singer will go to the wedding celebration, however, he and Swift famously released a song together in 2017, called I Don’t Wanna Live Forever.
Both Goulding and Sheeran were spotted in New York this week, so it’s safe to assume they’ll be there.
The exes have both been a part of the Cruel Summer songstress’ inner circle for years, so it comes as no surprise.
They were briefly rumored to be in a relationship back in 2013, and were spotted holding hands at the MTV Video Music Awards.
It’s heavily believed by fans that Sheeran’s song Don’t was written about Goulding leaving him for Niall Horan, however, Goulding has denied this.
‘I did go on a few dates with Niall, but I was never in a relationship with Ed,’ she told Elle UK in 2025.
‘I have absolutely no idea where that came from and why it was turned into such a big thing.’
Both Sabrina Carpenter and Camila Cabello may have to see their ex Shawn Mendes at the wedding celebration.
Suki Waterhouse and Bradley Cooper are both confirmed to be attending the wedding celebration; they were together from 2013 to 2015. They’re seen in 2014

Cooper has since moved on with Gigi Hadid (seen in September), one of Swift’s oldest friends, which is how he scored an invite to the coveted event
The three were embroiled in an infamous rumored love triangle back in 2023.
Mendes and Carpenter were seen spending a lot of time together in February of that year, however, the singer denied at the time that they were a couple.
Months later, Mendes was spotted kissing his ex Cabello at Coachella.
Many fans believe Carpenter went on to write her song Taste about the situation, in which she sings: ‘I heard you’re back together and if that’s true / You’ll just have to taste me when he’s kissin’ you / If you want forever, I bet you do / Just know you’ll taste me too.’
It’s unconfirmed if Mendes is attending Swift’s wedding celebration, however, he and the pop star have a long friendship; he opened for her on her 1989 World Tour and the two collaborated on a reimagined version of her song Lover in 2019.
If Swift’s pal Phoebe Bridgers – who previously released a song with the bride, called Nothing New – attends, she will risk crossing paths with her ex Paul Mescal.
Mescal is currently dating another one of Swift’s close friends, Gracie Abrams, so it’s likely he’ll be at the wedding celebration.
Selena Gomez – who is confirmed to be attending – might have to take a walk down memory lane if Swift’s pal Taylor Lautner shows up.

Swift and Lautner briefly dated in 2009 and lost touch afterwards, but reconnected and rekindled their friendship in 2023.
The singer even invited the Twilight star on stage during her Eras Tour and featured him in the music video for her song I Can See You later that year.
He and Gomez briefly dated in 2009, before he started his relationship with Swift.
Swift and Kelce partied late into the night on Thursday for what was believed to be a rehearsal dinner with 100 of their closest friends, including Hadid, Cooper, Gomez, Antonoff and Dunham, among others.
There are conflicting reports about whether Swift and Kelce have already married, but there are plans for an enormous party with 1,000 guests at Madison Square Garden today.
