Selena Gomez has cleared up questions about Benny Blanco’s whereabouts, confirming that her husband was by her side for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding on Friday.
Swift and Kelce, both 36, exchanged vows at Madison Square Garden in New York City, hosting a lavish celebration attended by around 1,000 guests, including close friends and some of the biggest names in entertainment.
Speculation began after Gomez, 33, appeared to attend Thursday’s rehearsal dinner without Blanco, 38, and shared a post suggesting she was missing him, prompting fans to wonder if the music producer had skipped the festivities.
The singer and actress later put the rumors to rest by sharing affectionate photos of the couple dressed for the occasion. Gomez stunned in a shimmering gold dress, while Blanco looked polished in a black suit and bow tie.
The wedding announcement came in dramatic fashion at 7.30pm Friday, when the famed arena lit up with a simple message celebrating the couple’s union: ‘JusT&T married.’
Around the same time, Swift’s longtime publicist Tree Paine sent a note to journalists with details from the ceremony, including that the couple had been styled by Christian Dior for the milestone event.

The bride complimented her look with Cartier jewelry and custom Christian Louboutin shoes.
‘Taylor & Travis did not have bridesmaids or groomsmen. Instead, her brother Austin Swift served as Taylor’s Man of Honor and Jason Kelce was Travis’ Best Man. The ceremony joined both families together and was officiated by friend Adam Sandler.’
Swift commemorated her wedding, an event she has fantasized about in her songs for decades, by serenading her new husband in front of their A-lister guests.
The pop star reportedly took the stage alongside music icons Stevie Nicks and Paul McCartney, though no video or pictures from inside the venue have been released.
A downpour swept across Manhattan just moments after Swift and Kelce said ‘I do’ – a sign of good luck undoubtedly noticed by the famously superstitious bride.
The dramatic summer storm provided an unforgettable backdrop as the newlyweds kicked off the evening’s celebrations inside Madison Square Garden.
‘The bride and groom’s wedding ceremony looks have been created by Christian Dior Haute Couture. They are designed by Jonathan Anderson, Creative Director of Dior Women’s, Men’s and Haute Couture Collections, in close collaboration with the Bride and Groom,’ Paine wrote in her statement.
‘This is the designer’s first couture wedding dress for a world-renowned celebrity. Their shoes were custom made by Christian Louboutin and the bride wore Cartier jewelry.
There was no glimpse of a wedding dress, or titbits from speeches, with every guest under the rule of a strict non-disclosure agreement.

Swifties and sports fans the world over watched on feverishly on Friday as the couple pulled off possibly the most out-of-this-world celebrity wedding in recent memory.
Stars including Steven Spielberg, Jay Z, Paul McCartney, Graham Norton and Beyonce flooded MSG in blacked-out SUVs, while NYPD officials – briefed for the occasion – shut down streets in the sweltering heat.
Swift’s beloved girl squad were by her side throughout. She started the day by getting ready at best friend Gigi Hadid’s house. Her other trusty sidekick, Selena Gomez, was in attendance, as was Lena Dunham, Ellie Goulding, Dakota Johnson and her childhood best friend, Abigail Anderson Berard.
Making a surprising appearance was Swift’s former close friend Karlie Kloss, who wowed in a gold dress alongside her husband Joshua Kushner.
Swift did not attend Kloss’s 2019 wedding after the pair had a rumored feud over the model’s close bond with the singer’s nemesis Scooter Braun.
Kelce was joined by his brother, Jason, members of the Kansas City Chiefs team, and longtime friends Ross Travis and Aric Jones.
Guests included business executives, singers, movie stars and models.
