Why Lana Del Rey Missed Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce Wedding

Why Lana Del Rey Is Barely On Taylor Swift's "Snow On The Beach"

Lana Del Rey is not the kind of girl who would be rudely skipping Taylor Swift’s white veil occasion.

So, after Swift and husband Travis Kelce tied the knot in a star-studded ceremony at Madison Square Garden July 3, the “Summertime Sadness” singer subtly shared she had good reason for her absence: she was hosting fan-turned-friend Oli Abbas for his birthday.

“My birthday was such an amazing day,” Abbas wrote in a July 8 Instagram post, alongside a photo featuring Del Rey, “surrounded by my favorite people.”

And Abbas went on to thank Del Rey and her sister Caroline Grant for “hosting” his party.

“Ahh we love you so much, best weekend ever,” Del Rey wrote back in a comment on the post. “Thank you guys for coming and hanging with us on the fourth and celebrating your birthday a little early and for the next day also! Double wishes.”

While Del Rey—who tied the knot with husband Jeremy Dufrene in 2024—seemingly opted not to join the party celebrating Swift and Kelce, the “Margaret” singer has emphasized there is no bad blood between her and her “Snow on the Beach” collaborator.

After all, Del Rey previously praised Swift for the success of her landmark Eras Tour.

“She’s really driven and I think it’s paid off,” the 41-year-old told the BBC in June 2024. “She's told me so many times that she wants it more than anyone. And how amazing—she's getting exactly what she wants.”

Indeed, Swift got yet another item on her wi$h li$t in marrying Kelce. While the bride and groom have yet to detail the special day themselves, it was confirmed they wore custom Dior looks designed by Jonathan Anderson—a grand gown for Swift and a white tux for Kelce—as well as Christian Louboutin shoes.

Although Del Rey couldn’t make it, other members of the couple’s evergreen group of friends made it to the garden party, including Adam Sandler, who acted as the ceremony’s officiant.

Several NFL stars including Kelce’s pals George Kittle and Patrick Mahomes, as well as Swift’s longtime squad members Selena Gomez, Gigi Hadid and Abigail Anderson Berard also just said ‘yes’ to their RSVPs.
