Taylor Swift stepped out solo in England to celebrate the wedding of two longtime collaborators.
Swift, 36, attended the nuptials of recording engineers Oli Jacobs and Laura Sisk on Saturday at Peter Gabriel’s legendary Real World Studios outside Bath, Gloucestershire. The Grammy winner was among a star-studded guest list that included her frequent creative partner Jack Antonoff, 41, pop star Sabrina Carpenter, 26, and musician Phoebe Bridgers, 30.
For the occasion, Swift wore a sleeveless navy gown with a plunging V-neckline and a full tulle skirt adorned with ivory floral appliqués across the bodice. She accessorized with gold-framed sunglasses, a gold bangle, and a string of pearls, completing the look with her signature red lip. The singer also debuted her shortest haircut in years, with her hair ending just a few inches below her shoulders while retaining her trademark bangs.
The wedding marked Swift’s second solo outing in the London area within a week. On Wednesday, August 12, she was spotted leaving Annabell’s, a private members-only club in the city, giving photographers a first glimpse of her new shoulder-length style. The trip appears to be her first solo travel since marrying Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, 36, at Madison Square Garden in New York on July 3.
Kelce was not present at Saturday’s celebration, as he was occupied with his NFL team’s first preseason game against the Los Angeles Rams at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City. The couple, who wed in front of over a thousand guests including Paul McCartney and Stevie Nicks, have been settling into married life while making Kelce’s Kansas City residence feel more like a shared home.
Sisk has been a fixture in Swift’s musical world for more than a decade, collaborating with the superstar and Antonoff dating back to the “1989” era in 2014. The engineer has contributed to every Swift album since, including “Reputation,” “Lover,” “Folklore,” “Evermore,” “Midnights,” and most recently “The Tortured Poets Department.” Jacobs also worked on the latter project and has his own history with Real World Studios, having gotten his start there before establishing himself as a collaborator with Antonoff and major pop acts.
Both Sisk and Jacobs also worked with Antonoff on Carpenter’s album “Short ‘n’ Sweet,” further tightening the web of creative connections represented at the wedding. The professional relationships have clearly blossomed into personal friendships, as Sisk was among the guests at Swift and Kelce’s own wedding last month.
The celebration at Real World Studios was reportedly kept relatively intimate despite the A-list crowd. Marquees were set up throughout the gardens, with guests beginning to mingle outside around 3 PM before festivities continued into the evening.
In the viral moment that preceded this English countryside gathering, Swift and Kelce’s July wedding at Madison Square Garden became one of the most talked-about celebrity events of the year. The ceremony drew over a thousand guests from entertainment and sports, with vows that reportedly ran about 20 minutes each. McCartney performed The Beatles’ “I Want to Hold Your Hand,” and Nicks also took the stage. The couple’s wedding bands have since been visible at their respective public appearances, with Kelce photographed wearing his golden band during Saturday’s preseason game while Swift’s ring was on display as she mingled with fellow wedding guests in Gloucestershire.
The newlyweds are expected to continue balancing their high-profile careers with their new marital status, with Swift’s next major public appearance anticipated at upcoming events related to her ongoing musical projects.
