Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have found their post-wedding bliss overshadowed by controversy linked to their nuptials held at Madison Square Garden.
According to a report, the newlywed couple is “disheartened” by the negative remarks and alleged “trash talking” from Kelce’s teammates over their guest list and invitations.
This claim comes after Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce attended the wedding of the NFL star’s ex-teammate JuJu Smith-Schuster and his bride, Laura Kruk, with sources saying the event “lifted their spirits.”
Swift and Kelce’s ceremony has proven that even the most popular celebrities still get to deal with the classic headaches that come with wedding planning.
Following months of speculation, the couple finally tied the knot at the famous Madison Square Garden in New York City on Friday, July 3. They also held an intimate rehearsal dinner for close friends and family the day before, but left many upset for refusing to invite them to that event.
According to the Daily Mail, some individuals in Kelce’s “circle” were displeased that they got invited to the Friday main event but not the intimate rehearsal dinner on Thursday.
A few retired athletes have even publicly shared their frustrations after failing to land an invitation to the star-studded wedding, while some of Kelce’s current teammates have reportedly taken the “trash talk” straight to the multiple group chats of Kansas City Chiefs’ players.
The Couple Is ‘Disheartened’ Over The Negative Reactions To Their Wedding Invitations
Sources close to the couple have now revealed that recent drama involving guest lists and alleged “trash-talking” from corners of their social circles has left the pair feeling disheartened.
“They are typically very good at blocking out the noise, but to have all these nasty stories coming out about his teammates being jealous and trash-talking them is pretty disheartening,” an insider told Star Magazine. “He’s got to go back to that locker room any day now, and that’s bound to be uncomfortable because clearly there’s a lot of jealousy towards him.”
“They’re finding it quite exhausting keeping up with all the rumors and all the mischief that people are making,” the source continued. “Wasting time on that sort of nonsense isn’t pleasant at any time, but especially when they are trying to enjoy their first days as husband and wife.”
Taylor Swift And Travis Kelce ‘Lifted Their Spirits’ By Attending His Former Teammates’ Wedding
Despite the background noise, Swift and Kelce have remained completely aligned and are enjoying their union just fine. Days after they got married, the couple put up a loved-up appearance for Kelce’s former teammate JuJu Smith-Schuster’s wedding to Laura Kruk.
The “Bad Blood” singer dazzled in a pink strapless floor-length gown with floral brocade designs, along with her signature red lipstick, while the Kansas City Chiefs tight end wore a classic suit and tie.
The source who spoke with Star explained that the event helped lift their spirits and kept things in a lighter mood.
“They did have a wonderful time,” they noted, referring to the July 11 wedding. “That really helped to lift their spirits. It was a great reset, and so fun to be able to relive the whole wedding experience without all the pressure of being the bride and groom.”
The Chiefs Tight End Was Seen Working Out Ahead Of New NFL Season
Meanwhile, it appears the honeymoon season is over for the couple as Kelce prepares to resume the new NFL season, which starts September 9.
According to TMZ, the star tight end was seen working out for the first time since their wedding on Thursday during a training session in Florida.
Kelce was dressed in Nike shorts and a loose vest with sneakers, and held his duffel in one hand and a sports drink in the other.
He’s due to return to the Chiefs’ camp later this month, so the workout season might just be him getting himself in the mood for football again.
About Taylor Swift And Travis Kelce’s Honeymoon Plans
The couple has largely kept to themselves in the days following their wedding, only appearing for Kelce’s pal’s wedding about a week ago.
Sources earlier claimed they were considering an “ultra-private” honeymoon with the historic San Ysidro Ranch in Montecito as their preferred location.
“They just don’t want anything getting leaked,” a source told Star Magazine. “They want to be able to enjoy this special time with total privacy.”
“There’s the option to rent out the entire property, which she’d likely want to do for privacy, and that can cost upwards of $500K for a week,” the insider explained.
However, according to the Daily Mail, Swift and Kelce enjoyed a private “mini-moon” at the exclusive Yellowstone Club in Big Sky, Montana. The couple is said to have utilized major security measures, including decoy jets, to maintain privacy during their stay at the luxury mountain resort.
