‘Is this a personal shot?’: Taylor Lewan calls out Travis Kelce for wedding invite snub

Taylor Lewan has called out Travis Kelce for not being one of the 1,000 people invited to his and Taylor Swift’s wedding at Madison Square Garden. 

The former NFL star, who called Kelce a “friend of 10 years”, made the outburst on the Bussin’ With The Boys podcast on Tuesday and publicly called out the snub. 

Lewan claimed he must have missed something to justify the decision not to invite him, or his co-host Will Compton, despite saying several times that he was “taking the high road” over the non-invite. 

The former Tennessee Titans player looked surprised when he opened up about being left off the guest list as he discussed the wedding. 

“We are extremely happy for them, clearly it was an extremely intimate wedding,” Lewan began. 

“An intimate wedding with only their closest friends, only their closest friends and family went to.

“Going into the weekend I thought ‘all good, didn’t get an invite’. At the end of the day when it comes to weddings, don’t make it about yourself. I sit back, happy for them, I shot Travis a text saying congratulations, he hit me back pretty quick. Happy for them and their relationship.

“I hear it’s at MSG. Unique spot to get married. Heard they donated $26 million to charity, incredible thing. I see a Pat McAfee post, him and his beautiful wife at the wedding, that’s awesome.” 

But while he was happy for the couple, clearly things took a turn when he started to run through the rest of the guest list and it was obvious there was some feeling behind his words. 

While some people he could understand, like Paul Rudd, Abigail - one of Swift’s oldest friends, and Brad Pitt. 

“Then I start to see – who is Alex Morgan? Who is that?” he asked, which the rest of the pod jumped in to confirm was a US Women’s Soccer player. 

“And then Saturday afternoon, or in the evening, seems like a lot of people go to this wedding. Baker Mayfield, his wife there. Beaabadoobee (the singer)... gotta go? Benson Boone, yeah gotta have him. Bowen Yang, who is that?” 

As he continued to question people, especially those from the sporting and NFL community that got a start over him,.

“Is this a personal shot that Will and I are taking? Yo, we’re boys; I’ve known you for over 10 years,” he exclaimed. 

“We text and call each other. I’m just thinking, dude, I’m clearly doing something wrong in our friendship, clearly something wrong… There’s clearly a blind spot I’m not seeing.”

As the chat continued, Lewan was asked if he thought that Swift was behind the decision not to invite him. 

He didn’t answer and instead pulled his phone back out to send Kelce a voice note. 

“Trav this is Taylor. I got you a little voice memo here on Bussin’ with the Boys. Listen I am so happy for you, couldn’t be more excited for you and your beautiful wife. I just want to know the thought process of inviting people and how did that work?” he said. 

“I am seeing a lot of individuals on here and I am just wondering how it all happened. Hope you’re all good.” 

He panicked at the end and while someone said “I don’t know if we send that” he added and seemed to close out of the message. 

It comes after Compton admitted he was ‘flabbergasted’ at being left off the guest list by Kelce.

When asked about his apparent snub on an episode of Wake Up Barstool podcast, Compton replied: “I’m going to be honest, I didn’t think nothing of it.”

But once guests started sharing photos from the A-list wedding of the century, it made him question things.

“I saw [Fox Sports analysist and referee] Dean Blandino got an invite? Is that real? I’ve been seeing these photos of everybody else at the wedding, I’m kinda flabbergasted we didn’t get the invite,” Compton spoke out.

Compton has been a staple at Kelce’s Tight End University summit over the years.

He has since doubled down online after finding out who else got invited.

“Don’t think I’ve ever seen Dean Blandino [Fox NFL rules analyst] at Tight End University,” he wrote via X.
