Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco's wedding set for September in Montecito
The couple, who announced their engagement in December 2024 after over a year of dating, have finalized plans for what is described as a relaxed but elegant two-day celebration in Santa Barbara County. According to a source who spoke with the Daily Mail, the wedding weekend will feature close friends and family only, keeping the event intimate despite the celebrity names involved.
Taylor Swift, Gomez's best friend of over 15 years, and her boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce, are both expected to attend. Invitations have already gone out, and guests were reportedly instructed to bring overnight bags, suggesting the festivities will extend throughout the weekend.
The guest list is rumored to include several A-list names, including Steve Martin and Martin Short—Selena's co-stars on Only Murders in the Building—as well as musical artists who have collaborated with Blanco over the years.
While the Kansas City Chiefs have a full NFL schedule lined up in September, fans are wondering if Kelce will be able to attend alongside Swift. The Chiefs face games nearly every weekend that month, which may create a scheduling conflict.
Still, the upcoming wedding is expected to be a major moment for fans of the couple and their inner circle, celebrating love, friendship, and one of the most high-profile celebrity unions of the year.

Alexander Skarsgård reacts to theory that Taylor Swift's song is based on him
Alexander Skarsgård has finally responded to speculation that Taylor Swift's 2014 song Wildest Dreams is based on their brief time together. While appearing on the Armchair Expert podcast, host Dax Shepard brought up a running joke with his daughter about the song and mentioned that many Swifties believe Wildest Dreams is about Skarsgård. Shepard asked, 'Do you have the same fear to either acknowledge or deny that that could be true because the power of the Swifties is so strong, you just don't even want to talk about it?' Skarsgård replied simply, 'Yeah.' He then added, 'It's about Brad Pitt,' followed by, 'I wrote the lyrics to that song myself and sent it to Taylor.' Fans have theorised for years that Wildest Dreams draws inspiration from Swift's time filming The Giver in South Africa in 2013, where she and Skarsgård were seen together. In the video for Wildest Dreams, released in 2015, Swift portrays a brunette actress entangled in a romantic film set in Africa, paralleling real-life details from her time with Skarsgård. While Taylor Swift has never confirmed the song's subject, she is known for embedding hints and coded messages in her lyrics. Over the years, her fans have grown adept at decoding lyrical Easter eggs.
