One guest at Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding left with a particularly memorable keepsake after catching Swift’s bouquet and later sharing the moment with followers on Instagram.
Swift and Kelce were married on Friday, July 3, 2026, in a star-packed ceremony at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
Reports from the event said the guest list included a mix of entertainment and sports figures, with the couple surrounded by hundreds of friends and family for the celebration.
The lucky bouquet catcher was Ashley Smith, the sister of Kansas City Chiefs offensive lineman Trey Smith.
Ashley later posted about the moment on Instagram, alongside a photo of herself wearing a floor-length black sequinned dress with a thigh-high split while holding the pink-and-white flowers.
“Celebrated an Enchanting Love S(T+T)ory [white heart emoji].
“And somehow…I ended up catching Tay Tay’s bouquet. [bouquet emoji]
“So here’s to believing it’s bringing a lifetime of love, luck, and laughter my way.
“Congratulations, Taylor & Travis! Cheers to forever T&T,” Ashely concluded, along with a champagne emoji in between two white hearts.
Ashley’s connection to the NFL goes beyond her brother, too. According to CBS News, she works in the league’s player engagement program, which supports players in both their personal and professional development.
Her post also offered another glimpse into the wedding itself.
The final image in her carousel appeared to show personalised napkins from the ceremony, featuring Swift and Kelce’s “T&T” insignia.
There was also a reference to Swift’s 2014 track Blank Space, with the line “So it’s gonna be forever…” printed on the napkins.
The date and venue, Madison Square Garden, were included as well.
Swift’s publicist confirmed the marriage took place at the New York venue, where actor Adam Sandler served as the unexpected officiant and Stevie Nicks was among the performers. The event drew an array of celebrity guests from across music, film and sport.
