# These 49ers stars excited for ‘royal wedding’ of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce > Source: > Published: 2026-06-24 15:46:53+00:00 **Getting your** [Trinity Audio](//trinityaudio.ai)player ready...Two popular San Francisco 49ers stars and their wives suggested Tuesday night they may have scored invitations to the most talked-about celebrity wedding of the 21st century — nuptials that could exceed the global attention paid to spectacles the British royal family pulled off with Prince William and Kate Middleton or with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. “Really, it is just excitement … it’s the royal wedding!” proclaimed 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk, while attending the Tight End & Friends Concert, a high-profile NFL event in Nashville, with his fashion designer wife, Kristin Juszczyk, [Page Six reported. ](https://pagesix.com/2026/06/23/entertainment/taylor-swift-and-travis-kelces-close-pals-share-excitement-for-couple-ahead-of-nuptials-its-the-royal-wedding/) Kyle Juszczyk was talking about none other than the upcoming wedding of pop-megastar Taylor Swift and her NFL star fiance Travis Kelce. Not only were the bridal couple the talk of Tuesday night’s concert, Swift performed, delivering a surprise performance of her 2008 hit song, “Love Story,” [Page Six also reported. ](https://pagesix.com/2026/06/24/entertainment/taylor-swift-and-travis-kelces-pals-drop-major-hint-at-wedding-date/) This year’s concert was part of Tight End University, a special three-day program, co-founded by Kelce and 49ers player George Kittle, which is dedicated to helping NFL tight ends “bond, collaborate with, and learn amongst their peers,” [according to People.](https://people.com/what-is-tight-end-university-11761008) The concert, a charitable event for causes supported by Kelce and Kittle, also occurred amid Swift and Kelce’s pre-wedding celebrations, with rumors saying they could tie the knot on or around July 3 at Madison Square Garden. “Oh my gosh, everyone’s just so excited for them,” exclaimed Kristin Juszczyk, while Kittle expressed delight that Swift performed Tuesday night. He also hinted at the big event coming soon, though he didn’t say one way or another whether he and his wife, Claire Kittle, will be there. “She’s just such an awesome person to give us her time this close to their wedding,” Kittle [told People magazine](https://people.com/george-kittle-reacts-taylor-swift-teu-this-close-travis-kelce-wedding-exclusive-12005434). “So we’re just so thankful that they’re here.” Both the Kittles and the Juszczyks have been friends with Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, “for a while,” as Kristin Juszczyk said. “We’re just so happy that he found his person,” she said. The Juszczyks became friendly with Swift after Kelce started dating her in 2023 — enough that Kristin enjoyed a career-defining moment as an aspiring fashion designer, courtesy of the Grammy winner. At a Chiefs playoffs game in January 2024, Swift wore one of Kristin’s sports-apparel-themed designs — a bright red puffer jacket with Kelce’s no. 87 emblazoned across it. Images of Swift in the jacket went viral and led to Kristin winning an NFL licensing deal that allows her to use the league’s logos in her clothing. Meanwhile, George and Claire Kittle gushed some more about Kelce and Swift, according to Page Six. The Kittles, who have been married since 2019, likewise became close to Swift once she began dating their friend Kelce. “She’s wonderful, bless her heart,” George Kittle said. He also joked that Kelce and Swift don’t need any marital advice, saying, “They’re fine!” Claire Kittle called Swift “fabulous,” “chill,” “down-to-earth” and always “so much fun” to hang out with. Since she began dating Kelce, Swift has informally joined [a select group of female figures in popular culture:](https://www.mercurynews.com/2024/02/11/kristin-juszczyk-dressed-to-win-super-bowl-while-taylor-swift-brought-the-bling/) The wives and girlfriends of professional athletes, or WAGs, [as the gossip media l](https://www.mercurynews.com/2024/02/09/the-new-wags-taylor-swift-brittany-mahomes-kristin-juszczyk-bring-new-meaning-to-maligned-term/)ikes to call them. Given the warm embrace that the 49ers wives Kristin Juszczyk and Claire Kittle have given Swift, it appears there are no lingering hard feelings [over Super Bowl LVIII in 2024.](https://www.mercurynews.com/2024/02/11/kristin-juszczyk-dressed-to-win-super-bowl-while-taylor-swift-brought-the-bling/) That’s when Swift made her Super Bowl debut as the girlfriend of one of the players; it’s also when Chiefs played the 49ers, defeating San Francisco 25-22.
