Five days after Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding at Madison Square Garden, the internet remains fixated on the event. The couple's 1,000-strong guest list, which included a controversial ICE contractor, and the reported $20 million cost have drawn comparisons to royal weddings. As fans eagerly await official photos, some celebrity guests have sparked their own controversies.
Gracie Abrams Shares Carousel with Joe Alwyn Image
Eras Tour dancer Tori Evans was first criticized for wearing what appeared to be a white dress, though she later clarified it was pink champagne, a claim supported by her husband. Now, singer Gracie Abrams, who opened for Swift on the North American leg of the Eras Tour, faces backlash. Abrams posted an Instagram carousel of recent moments, including her sparkly red wedding outfit. However, she also included a still from the 2018 film The Favourite, which features Joe Alwyn, Swift's ex-boyfriend of six years.
Alwyn inspired several of Swift's albums, including Lover, Folklore, Evermore, and the 2024 breakup album The Tortured Poets Department. Fans questioned why Abrams would include a photo of her friend's ex in a post partly dedicated to the wedding.
Fans React to the Controversial Post
Comments flooded Abrams's post. One user said, 'The screen capture of Joe Alwyn from The Favourite in the same carousel as the outfit you wore to Taylor Swift’s wedding is crazyyyyy (I say this with love).' Another wrote, 'Not congratulating Taylor – but posting her ex?' A third asked, 'Why would you include a photo of Joe?' while another bluntly stated, 'Weird for this one babes.'
Some fans felt it was disrespectful. 'This feels disrespectful to Taylor,' one commented. Another questioned, 'I’m sorry are you for real? Including a photo of Joe in the same photo dump as taylor’s wedding? Couldn’t you at least congratulate taylor and travis on the post?'
Joe Alwyn Reportedly Liked the Post
Observers noted that Alwyn himself liked the post, seemingly aware of its connection to Swift's wedding. 'Joe liking this post knowing that the first pic was Gracie’s outfit was from Taylor’s wedding… the lore,' one fan joked. Another simply said, 'Gracie is funny' for the move.
The film still also includes Emma Stone, a close friend of Swift. The two met at the Young Hollywood Awards in 2008, and Stone has praised Swift's support, including helping her secure Eras Tour tickets. Stone attended the wedding in a strapless or one-shoulder gown, with her hair in a low bun and black drop earrings.
Wedding Details and Designer Looks
Swift and Kelce's ceremony looks were created by Christian Dior Haute Couture. Their shoes were custom-made by Christian Louboutin, and Swift wore Cartier jewellery, a brand she referenced in her 2025 track 'Elizabeth Taylor' from The Life of a Showgirl.
