Swift silences the feud chatter by inviting her longtime friend to her July wedding to Travis Kelce
The friendship between Taylor Swift and Zoë Kravitz has been one of Hollywood’s most enduring and genuinely affectionate bonds — which is exactly why the recent rumors of a falling out caught so many people off guard. Now, those rumors appear to have been put to rest in the most definitive way possible. According to PEOPLE, an insider close to Swift has confirmed that Kravitz has received an invitation to the highly anticipated July wedding between Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, firmly contradicting the gossip that had set social media ablaze just days earlier.
Where the feud rumors began
The speculation originated earlier this month when celebrity gossip account DeuxMoi, picked up by Page Six, alleged that Swift and Kravitz’s decade-long friendship had effectively ended. The account’s tipster claimed the bond was over entirely and that Kravitz was upset about being left off the wedding guest list. The rumor spread quickly, partly because there was an obvious explanation many fans latched onto — Kravitz began dating Harry Styles in August 2025, nearly 13 years after he and Swift briefly dated from October 2012 to January 2013. The suggestion was that Swift might have felt uncomfortable with the pairing. The invitation report from PEOPLE appears to put that theory firmly to rest.
A friendship 10 years in the making
Swift and Kravitz have been close since 2016, when the actress was first photographed with Swift’s well-documented circle of friends during a dinner in New York. The friendship deepened considerably during the COVID-19 pandemic, when the 2 women formed a quarantine pod together in London while Kravitz was in the city filming The Batman. During that period, Swift cooked meals for Kravitz and was there for her friend’s birthday, a gesture that Kravitz later described as one of the most meaningful parts of an otherwise isolating stretch of time.
Their connection extended into creative collaboration as well. Kravitz received a co-writing credit on Swift’s 2022 album Midnights, marking a rare instance of Swift bringing a close personal friend into her songwriting process. That kind of creative trust speaks to the depth of what the 2 women share.
The snake that almost ended everything — but didn’t
If any single story has come to define the Swift-Kravitz friendship in recent years, it is the now-legendary snake incident. In August 2025, Kravitz and her mother Lisa Bonet stayed at Swift’s Beverly Hills home for 2 weeks while the California wildfires threatened the area. During that stay, Bonet’s pet snake somehow became trapped inside the wall of Swift’s bathroom, forcing Swift’s house manager to break open the space to retrieve the reptile. Kravitz later told the story on Late Night with Seth Meyers, laughing at what a disastrous houseguest she had been. Swift, for her part, appeared on the same show in a separate episode and joked that her only regret was not being there in person to witness the chaos unfold.
Wedding details and a very interesting plus-one question
Swift and Kelce, who became engaged in the summer of 2025, have sent invitations to guests for a July 3 wedding in New York. The venue itself, however, is being kept deliberately secret, with only the date confirmed to guests so far. Sources close to the couple have indicated the location will not be disclosed until the last possible moment, a decision driven entirely by a desire to maintain security and privacy around what is expected to be one of the most closely watched celebrity events in years.
Now that Kravitz’s place on the guest list has reportedly been confirmed, the question the internet cannot stop asking is whether her invitation includes a plus-one — and if so, whether that plus-one might be Styles. Kravitz and Styles reportedly became engaged in April 2026, after Page Six reported on their relationship, which began publicly in August 2025. Neither has officially confirmed the engagement. If Styles does attend the wedding as Kravitz’s guest, it would make for one of the more quietly significant full-circle moments in recent celebrity history.
