## Key points

- Seacrest RSVP'd yes to Swift and Kelce's wedding, then cancelled.
- A Disney 4th of July hosting job caused the clash.
- The pair wed at Madison Square Garden on 3 July.

## Summary

Ryan Seacrest was one of the few notable Hollywood figures absent from Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding, but not because he was left off the guest list. On his radio show On Air With Ryan Seacrest, the host revealed he had been invited and initially RSVP'd "yes", only to withdraw after Disney hired him to present its 4th of July 250 special on 3 and 4 July. The clash meant he could not attend the ceremony, which took place at Madison Square Garden in New York City on 3 July.

Seacrest said the invitation had been confidential, and described being torn over the decision before concluding he could not do both events, as the wedding was held in the afternoon. He recounted running into the couple at a restaurant after accepting, when he met Kelce for the first time and Swift promised the celebration would "go late". Swift and Kelce, who got engaged in August the previous year, married after nearly three years together, with guests including Selena Gomez, Brad Pitt, Ed Sheeran, Hugh Grant and Julianne Moore among many others.
