Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce haven’t been spotted yet on their honeymoon, but maybe they’ve got some wedding gift shopping to do first?

Per TMZ, the newlyweds are expected to attend the wedding of Kelce’s former teammate JuJu Smith-Schuster on Saturday.

Smith-Schuster and his fiancee, fitness coach Laura Kruk, just attended Kelce’s wedding at Madison Square Garden on Friday.

The wide receiver played for the Chiefs for three seasons and currently plays for the New York Giants.

From the Chiefs, Patrick Mahomes and Brittany Mahomes, wide receiver Tyquan Thornton and defensive end George Karlaftis, who got married in May in Greece, are also expected to attend, according to TMZ sources.

Former Chiefs player Isiah Pacheco — who was also at the Swift-Kelce affair — Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Kendrick Bourne and former defensive end Jacob Tuioti-Mariner are also expected guests.

The couple announced their engagement in September 2024. The wedding is said to take place at the Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel, a luxury 5-star resort overlooking the ocean in Dana Point, California.

Kruk is sure to avoid the fashion mishap she made headlines for at the wedding last week when she and Swift’s childhood best friend Abigail Anderson accidentally showed up wearing the same dress.

With training camp in St. Joseph beginning later this month, Swift and Kelce have only a couple of weeks to take a honeymoon before he gets back to work.

If they do, fans might never know until after the fact because these two have become adept at secret getaways, vacationing together in places like the Bahamas and Italy, and even Montana, under the radar.

Swift is kinda proud of how furtive she can be.

“Just put me in a garbage can, roll me, I don’t care,” she said in a BBC Radio 2 interview last year. “Honestly, I can fit in like, a purse.

“Sometimes I just can’t deal with it (the paparazzi and attention) and in those times, I won’t deal with it. I’m just digging tunnels under every building I go into, airlifting in through the skylight.”
