As global media continues to speculate about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s highly anticipated wedding, new reports suggest that Meghan Markle is feeling uneasy about whether she will make it onto the star-studded guest list.
According to Radar Online, the Duchess of Sussex is reportedly “already panicking” behind the scenes about being excluded from what is expected to be one of the most high-profile celebrity weddings in recent years. A source quoted in the report claimed that Meghan views the event as a major moment for Hollywood visibility and status.
“She’s said all the right things in public and private. But privately, she’s counting the days until the wedding guest list comes out,” the insider told the outlet. “She wants that invite – she needs it. Missing out on the biggest celebrity event of the decade would be a nightmare for her image.”
The source added that Meghan sees the wedding as the kind of event that “cements your place in the A-list hierarchy.” If she is not included, she may interpret it as a deliberate slight from those in the upper tier of Hollywood influence.
While Meghan and Taylor Swift are not known to share a close personal friendship, they have crossed paths before. The Duchess attended Swift’s Eras Tour stop in Los Angeles in 2023 and reportedly sent a handwritten note afterward praising the singer’s “grace and authenticity.”
However, industry watchers say that being a fan is not the same as being inside the inner circle – and Swift is famously selective about her close-knit guest list. The singer’s circle has historically included longtime friends like Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Selena Gomez, and members of her Nashville-era support system.
Observers believe Meghan’s anxiety could stem from her ongoing efforts to secure a stronger foothold in Hollywood’s elite spaces, especially after stepping away from royal duties and repositioning her public identity in the U.S.
Whether she will actually receive an invitation remains to be seen, as neither Taylor nor Kelce has made any formal announcements about their ceremony or who will be attending. For now, speculation continues to swirl, and Markle’s interest in being included has become its own narrative ahead of the big day.
