Taylor Swift loves giving her legions of fans clues, slyly dropping them into every aspect of her music and life.
And now, she’s turned her highly-anticipated summer wedding to Travis Kelce into the biggest Easter egg hunt of all.
The 36-year-old billionaire will tie the knot with the football star, also 36, within a matter of weeks. But everything from the wedding date to the location to the starry guest list is still a mystery. Although we are told that relations have been “bumpy” between Swift and longtime pal Zoë Kravitz, the actress is invited — but things are way less certain for Blake Lively.

She donned a $1,190 white peplum shirt by Stella McCartney to Zero Bond and a $398 Retrofête knit dress as she dined with pals, including stylist Ashley Avignone, at West Village hot spot Via Carota.
Although Page Six was alerted that save-the-date notes had gone out for a bash in NYC on July 3, some in Swift’s orbit say the pair is having fun with all the rumors — and maybe trying to throw off paparazzi.
“That’s not when that wedding is happening. Trust me,” said one source.
TMZ reported that Swift has been calling friends personally to invite them.
Page Six has reached out to reps for Swift and Kelce.
There were even rumors that Swift and Kelce had hired out The Frick museum space in NYC this past week (it turned out to be Louis Vuitton for its cruise collection fashion show).
“They could buy out the entirety of The Frick or some other Gilded Age mansion,” said one Swift and Kelce insider. “Any outdoor or scenic location, like an island or bluff” — or Swift’s Watch Hill, Rhode Island, estate — “will be subject to drones and helicopters, and it will be a zoo. NYC means indoors, and indoors means total privacy.
“But,” the insider added, “I still don’t think they’ll do it in NYC.”
One big question has been whether Blake Lively will be invited. The formerly thick-as-thieves pair stopped talking after the actress embroiled Swift, who is godmother to Lively and Ryan Reynolds’ four children, in her court case against Justin Baldoni.
According to unsealed court documents, Lively told Baldoni — whom she accused of sexual harassment, creating a hostile work environment, and subsequent retaliation — that Swift was one of her “dragons.” She also asked Swift to praise her script revision to Baldoni, the director and co-star of “It Ends With Us,” as things became heated on set.
Further texts between the stars showed Lively asking if she had done anything to upset Swift, and lengthy discussion about their relationship.
Asked if Lively will be a wedding guest, the insider said she’s not believed to be on the list at present — but added, “I think there’s a far greater chance of it now that the case is settled.“As evidenced by [her appearance at] the Met Gala, Blake is ready to be back out there … she will be there with bells on if she is invited. But that’s a huge if.”
Meanwhile, another industry source said that Zoë Kravitz is invited to the wedding of the year even though the friends’ relationship has been “bumpy” as of late.
Kravitz recently got engaged to Harry Styles, whom Swift dated back for a few months in 2012 and 2013. Swift is believed to have penned songs, including “Style,” about the singer on her “1989” album.

“There has been a definite Zoë-Taylor cooling off, but she’s absolutely coming. I don’t know about Harry, though, as he’s on tour,” said the source.
They also noted that the covertness of Swift and Kelce’s big day will be modeled on that of Ed Sheeran, her close pal who is, of course, invited.
Sheeran wed his longtime girlfriend, Cherry Seaborn, in a secret winter wedding in December 2018 with only about 40 people present.
