Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco to wed in star-studded Santa Barbara ceremony, Taylor Swift among guests

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are set to tie the knot this Saturday, September 27, in a private Santa Barbara ceremony, with Taylor Swift among the high-profile guests expected to attend. The pop superstar arrived in Santa Barbara on Friday under heavy privacy measures, stepping into a black SUV at the airport, though it remains unconfirmed if her fiancé, NFL star Travis Kelce, will join her.

Gomez and Blanco, who confirmed their relationship in 2023 and got engaged in December 2024, will exchange vows at a secret estate, with guests only learning the venue once escorted there. Reports suggest attendees are staying at the luxury El Encanto hotel, fully booked for the weekend at $3,500 per night.

Ahead of the wedding, Gomez celebrated a bachelorette party in Cabo San Lucas with close friends Racquelle Stevens, Ashley Cook, Courtney Lopez, and cousin Priscilla Marie, enjoying yacht outings and poolside fun. Blanco marked his bachelor party in Las Vegas, staying in a $25,000-per-night villa.

The wedding guest list is expected to include Paris Hilton, Nicola Peltz and Brooklyn Beckham, as well as Gomez’s Only Murders in the Building co-stars, Martin Short and Steve Martin. Meryl Streep was reportedly invited but is unlikely to attend.
