EXCLUSIVE: BridesMAIDzilla Battle! How Taylor Swift's 'Girl Squad' Have Claws Out as They Scrap to Become Top Dog at Her Wedding to Travis Kelce

Taylor Swift, the iconic music artist, is reportedly facing unexpected rivalry as her entourage of famous friends competes for the prestigious maid of honor position at her upcoming wedding to NFL star Travis Kelce. Sources close to the situation reveal this competition has sparked a frenzied struggle amongst her close-knit circle.

The couple announced their engagement through a charming garden photoshoot featuring matching outfits from Ralph Lauren, where Swift cheekily remarked, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.”

Since the announcement, attention has shifted towards Swift’s close circle, with insiders revealing an ongoing contest for the maid of honor role. Friends such as Selena Gomez, Gigi Hadid, Cara Delevingne, among others, are in the thick of the competition, each desiring the prized position.

Swift’s best friend, Abigail Anderson, feels entitled to the role since she was honored as Swift’s maid of honor during her own wedding in 2017. Meanwhile, Brittany Mahomes and Kylie Kelce, connected through their respective ties to the NFL, have also thrown their hats into the ring.

Insiders reveal that dynamics within Swift’s circle have shifted. At one time, Blake Lively seemed like a natural choice for the coveted maid of honor position. However, the fallout from her recent conflicts surrounding Justin Baldoni has altered perceptions. She might no longer be a sure pick.

As Lively’s chances have waned, new contenders are eager to seize the moment, each hoping to bolster their connection to the singer amidst the growing tension.

As the wedding planning unfolds, sources indicate that Swift is feeling overwhelmed. Despite her naturally conflict-averse demeanor, the drama among friends adds to her stress. Reports suggest that Swift and Kelce might forgo a grand celebration in favor of a more subdued affair with only family and closest friends.

Recent whispers indicate that they might even consider having just one witness—possibly Jason Kelce—to completely avoid the drama. Still, Swift feels compelled to honor her friends with a bridal party, even if it means facing disappointment.

As Swift navigates her wedding plans, the guest list has become a contentious point. With a blend of connections from her entertainment career and Kelce’s NFL background, it’s a challenge to manage expectations while maintaining a small guest count.

An insider noted, “Despite stating the wedding will be limited to only close friends and family, Taylor knows that scrutiny over who is invited will inevitably lead to hurt feelings.”

With her inclination to please everyone, the pressure is mounting. “It should be the most joyous day of her life, but Taylor is stressed about possibly disappointing her friends,” says a source.
