Taylor Swift made a brief but high-profile appearance at Selena Gomez’s wedding to music producer Benny Blanco before leaving just hours after the ceremony.

The pop star departed late Saturday night from Santa Barbara, California, to return to Kansas City in time for fiancé Travis Kelce’s NFL game against the Baltimore Ravens at Arrowhead Stadium.

Swift, 35, spent the evening celebrating Gomez, 33, who tied the knot in a lavish clifftop ceremony at Sea Crest Nursery in Goleta. Guests included comedian Eric Andre, Steve Martin, and Paul Rudd, with Gomez and Blanco exchanging vows at a 70-acre estate overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The wedding featured extensive floral displays, marquees, and heavy security estimated to cost $300,000.

Photos released by Gomez showed the couple in Ralph Lauren, highlighting her marquise-cut solitaire engagement ring. The wedding followed a short engagement, announced in December 2024, with the actress describing it as the start of “forever.”

Swift was seen leaving in a three-car convoy around 11:30 p.m., heading to Santa Barbara airport where her Gulfstream G550 awaited. Flight tracking data confirmed the private jet was bound for Missouri, ensuring Swift would arrive in time for Sunday’s Chiefs matchup.

The Grammy winner spent Friday night at the Rosewood Miramar hotel and attended Gomez’s rehearsal dinner at Hope Ranch before the wedding. Her quick turnaround underscores her commitment to both supporting her best friend and being present for Kelce’s game.

Gomez’s marriage to Blanco marks a new chapter in her personal life after past high-profile relationships, including her long on-and-off romance with Justin Bieber.
