Taylor Swift will attend Selena Gomez's wedding

Singer, songwriter and actress Selena Gomez has recently sent the selenators into a frenzy with her engagement announcement. The songstress is now speculated to marry tomorrow at El Encanto, Santa Barbara, and guests have been spotted arriving at the venue.

Selena’s best friend, Taylor Swift, who is rumoured to be her flower girl, has also arrived at the venue and was spotted hiding under umbrellas.

Taylor was seen getting off a plane at Santa Barbara airport on Friday afternoon. Soon after she stepped down, a group of people hurried out to cover her with a bunch of black umbrellas. Photos from her big arrival showed only her elbow.

A white box, which might have been a wedding present for Selena and her fiancé, Benny Blanco, was seen being carried by a bystander along with some luggage. Taylor got into a waiting black SUV.

According to Page Six, a source previously shared that Taylor will be staying in a private rental home for security reasons during the weekend soirée. Meanwhile, the other guests will stay at the Encanto hotel for the wedding weekend.

The source said, “She will be renting a house near the wedding venue, which is a secret to the public. Her security team feels it’s better than a hotel.”

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are reportedly expected to tie the knot at a private Santa Barbara estate on Saturday in a romantic two-day celebration.

The wedding celebration came after Selena Gomez and music producer Benny Blanco, who first collaborated in 2019, started dating privately in June 2023. Selena confirmed their relationship in December 2023 in a social media post, calling him "the best thing that's ever happened" to her. The couple got engaged in December 2024.
