The three photos that prove Taylor Swift has already picked her bridesmaids.

It's expected to be the celebrity wedding of the decade, but what exactly do we know about the upcoming nuptials between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce?

Not much! But let's go back to the start because it's been a long time coming for these two lovebirds.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's romance began shortly after he mentioned on his podcast how he had attempted to give her a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it at a Kansas City concert in July 2023.

They went public with their romance in September 2023 when she attended her first Chiefs game. The next year would see her cheering him on throughout the football season and him supporting her Eras Tour internationally (including making an onstage cameo).

After over two years of blissful dating, the couple announced their engagement in August 2025.

Okay, now that we're all caught up. The detail we really, really want to know about the Swift-Kelce wedding is… who are the bridesmaids?

Swift has made her famous friends, or her 'squad', a big part of her brand, so we're despo to know who is going to make the coveted list.

This week, there's been some internet speculation surrounding a theory that Swift has secretly chosen three of her bridesmaids by meeting them for high-profile dinner outings.

Fans noticed that Swift had recently been photographed enjoying a string of special dinners with close friends Sabrina Carpenter, Gigi Hadid, and non-famous friend Ashley Avignone in New York City.

This sparked the theory that these intimate dinners were actually the singer's way of popping the question and asking some of her closest pals to be part of her bridal party. Also known widely as "the bridesmaid dinner" wherein a bride asks her pals to be part of her upcoming nuptials.

Three photos of three bridesmaids, right? Well…

There is no confirmation from Swift or her team that these dinners were anything more than, well… dinner, but it sure is fun to wildly theorise!

Of course, this is all pure speculation, but who do we think has the best chance of making Swift's bridesmaid list? Let's go through the main contenders, shall we!

Who will be Taylor Swift's bridesmaids?

Let's begin with a no-brainer: her literal bestie, Abigail Anderson. These two have been friends for two decades, meeting waaaay back in English class at Hendersonville High School in Tennessee.

Swift famously wrote about Abigail in the song 'Fifteen', and Anderson has remained a close friend throughout Swift's rise to fame.

It's more than likely she'll be the maid of honour, too — which would return the favour as Taylor reportedly got that title at Abigail's wedding.

Other personal friends like Ashley Avignone and Claire Winter will most likely be bridesmaids, as well.

Then there's her other famous friends.

The most likely one on the bridesmaid list is Selena Gomez. They have been friends since 2008, back when they were both dating members of the Jonas Brothers (feel old yet?).

Their friendship has remained strong over the years, culminating in Swift reportedly being a bridesmaid at Selena's recent wedding to Benny Blanco.

Gigi Hadid seems like another safe bet. They were first photographed together in 2014 and soon became the best of friends. Hadid was one of the friends who appeared in the 'Bad Blood' music video alongside another contender, Girls creator Lena Dunham.

Swift was a bridesmaid at Dunham's 2021 wedding, so there's a high chance the 'Blank Space' singer will return the favour.

And of course, despite a few shaky years, Blake Lively has to be on the list, and if the song 'CANCELLED!' is anything to go by, their friendship is doing just fine.

They reportedly first met in 2015. Their friendship is close, with Swift being the godmother to Lively and Ryan Reynolds' children, whose names are also featured as characters in Swift's song 'Betty'.

Other celebrity contenders are singer Lana Del Ray, actress Emma Stone, and model Cara Delevingne, who have all been Swift's firm friends for years.

The Haim sisters, Este, Danielle, and Alana from the girl band HAIM, have also been by Taylor's side for more then a decade.

Then there are Swift's newer friends like Sabrina Carpenter, who she toured with on her Eras Tour and has since collaborated with on the title track of her album, The Life Of A Showgirl.

Joe Jonas' ex Sophie Turner has become a fast friend in recent years, as has Swift's newfound NFL bestie, Brittany Mahomes.

But my dark horse is Ed Sheeran — a longtime music collaborator who has been Swift's industry bestie for years — who would look rather fetching in a bridesmaid's gown.

But wait, that's a lot of people to fit into one line-up of bridesmaids.

Don't worry, it sounds like Swift and Kelce are planning a big wedding. In a chat on The Graham Norton Show, Swift said the "only stressful weddings are the ones where you have a small amount" of people.

"I'm not going to do that," she added. So there you have it, 15 bridesmaids it is!

Of course, we will have to wait until the actual wedding to find out for sure which friends made the list. My money is on Ed!
