The 53-man roster isn't the only cut forKansas City Chiefsplayers to make. Taylor Swiftand Travis Kelce'sweddinghas been called America's royal wedding and that's not far off. She's the most famous woman on the planet, an icon for both hermusical talentsandbusiness acumen. He's the biggest name in this country's biggest sport, a three-time Super Bowl champion who had already made thepop culture crossoverbefore they started dating. Their wedding guests will be a "Who's who" of entertainment, sports and fashion, and no one's going to want to miss it. Unless Swift and Kelce have their big day at Arrowhead Stadium, however, choices will have to be made. Given that the Chiefs players, coaches and their significant others alone would be about 200 people, some are bound to be left out. Here's a look at who's on the A team, who's on the practice squad and who's going to be a free agent when it comes to the Wedding of the Century: Andy Reid. The Kansas City Chiefs coach, who knew Swift's father from his days with thePhiladelphia Eagles,played matchmakerfor the two. Of course he's on the guest list. Heck, they should have him officiate. Pop star Taylor Swift and Chiefs tight end Travis Kelceannounced their engagement on Aug. 26, 2025. The couple began dating in the summer of 2023. Look back at their time together, including here, at the game between Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers during the Stanley Cup Final at Amerant Bank Arena on June 12, 2025, in Sunrise, Fla. Patrick Mahomes. Duh. He and Kelce are BFFs — Kelce wasone of Mahomes' groomsmenwhen the quarterback got married — and his wife and Swift have become fast friends. He's not only going, he's probably in the wedding party. Xavier Worthy.Swift was so excited when the Chiefs drafted the speedy wide receiverthat her friends wondered if she'd lost her mind. He's done nothing since then to temper that enthusiasm. The entire offensive line. Offensive skill players know who's responsible for their success. Chris Jones. This one is a little tough because Swift had bonded with Jones' former girlfriend, sitting together at games and posing for photos together. But Jones is, along with Kelce and Mahomes, the face of the Kansas City franchise and the captain of its defense, so he gets priority. Kareem Hunt. Kelce has long been one of the running back'sbiggest supporters, calling him "family" after last season's AFC championship. Hunt also got an invite to theEras'-themed birthday partyKelce threw for Swift last season, and was in a group photo with Kelce, Swift, Mahomes and center Creed Humphrey. Isiah Pacheco. He and his longtime girlfriend joined Swift and Kelce in Kelce's box forThursday night's gamebetween Cincinnati, Kelce's alma mater, and Nebraska. Trent McDuffie and George Karlaftis. They're both anchors of the defense. More significantly, they were both drafted by the Chiefs and have spent their entire careers in Kansas City. Drue Tranquill. Integral part of the defense but this is only his third season with the Chiefs. Rookies. Coveted as these invites will be, they're going to need to do something to make a big impression. Except Jake Bringingstool. Tight ends gonna look out for tight ends. Bryan Cook. A defensive player, so might not know Kelce as well as other teammates. He did go to Cincinnati, however. Ryan Reynolds. He's the head strength and conditioning coach/director of sports science, not the one married toBlake Lively. Still, might not want to risk a mix-up. Harrison Butker. A guy who thinkswomen are second-class citizensinvited to the wedding of the biggest Boss Lady there is and the guy who loves nothing more than to spotlight and celebrate her and her successes? Hah, hah, hah. I can't even say it with a straight face. Follow USA TODAY Sports columnist Nancy Armour on social media @nrarmour.
