Paul Rudd was spotted leaving Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding in New York City on Friday, July 3, alongside Severance star Adam Scott and his wife Naomi. The appearance came as no surprise to fans who have followed Rudd's recent public embrace of Swift's music and his long-standing support for Kelce's career with the Kansas City Chiefs.
The 57-year-old actor has been a vocal Swiftie since 2024, when he attended the Eras Tour with his 13-year-old daughter Darby. In an interview with MTV News, Rudd shared his favorite Swift songs, including "Mastermind," "Cruel Summer," "The Archer," and "August." He also admitted to singing them frequently, a confession that delighted Swift's fanbase.
Rudd's ties to Kelce go beyond fandom. As a lifelong Kansas City Chiefs fan, he has attended multiple games, including the Super Bowl in February 2024, where he congratulated Kelce on the field after the Chiefs' 25-22 victory over the San Francisco 49ers. He described the moment as "unreal," noting that he has known Kelce for years through charity work. Together, they hosted the Big Slick Weekend fundraiser in 2024 and 2025, an event that raises money for children's health in the Kansas City area.
The wedding itself was a spectacle, drawing a roster of A-list guests such as Ed Sheeran, Cherry Seaborn, the Haim sisters, Benson Boone, Maren Morris, Kelsea Ballerini, Miranda Lambert, Hugh Grant, Karlie Kloss, Joshua Kushner, Zoë Kravitz, Ethan Hawke, Jimmy Fallon, and Tommy Hilfiger. The ceremony took place at Madison Square Garden, a venue befitting the couple's star power.
Rudd's evolution from comedic actor to Swiftie and NFL ally mirrors a broader cultural trend. His admission of being a Swiftie was met with both humor and warmth, especially after he detailed his superstitions during the Super Bowl. "If I did help the win at all, it was because I didn’t mess with all of the things that I had set around because I’m superstitious," he said. "I think the collective superstitions of all fans probably helped contribute to that win."
Rudd's career has spanned decades, with iconic roles in Clueless, Anchorman, the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Ant-Man, and more recently Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire. His ability to connect with younger audiences through Swift's music and older audiences through his classic films has kept him relevant in popular culture.
Swift and Kelce's relationship became public in 2023, when Swift began attending Chiefs games. Their engagement was announced earlier this year, and the wedding capped off a whirlwind romance that has captivated the public. Rudd's presence at the event further cemented his status as a cross-generational icon who bridges the worlds of music, sports, and entertainment.
Kelce has often spoken warmly of Rudd, calling him "the greatest guy." The two have built a friendship that extends beyond professional collaborations. At the Big Slick event, they shared the stage to raise funds, with Rudd praising Kelce's commitment to community service. "He really is involved in a charity of ours in Kansas City for years and years," Rudd said. "And then to get to hug Travis Kelce right after a Super Bowl win. It just makes no sense. It’s unreal."
Fans of both Swift and Rudd celebrated his attendance on social media, with many pointing out that his journey from casual listener to die-hard Swiftie mirrors that of many other fans. Rudd's honest and humble approach to discussing his fandom has made him a relatable figure, even as he walks red carpets and attends private star-studded events.
The wedding is expected to be one of the most talked-about celebrity events of the year. While few details have emerged about the ceremony itself, the guest list alone indicates its elite nature. Rudd's presence, along with other Hollywood elites, underscores the broad appeal of Swift and Kelce as a couple.
As for Rudd, his next projects include a sequel to Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and a starring role in the upcoming comedy The Fabulous Four. Whether he'll continue to incorporate Swift's music into his public appearances remains to be seen, but for now, he stands as one of the most endearing celebrity Swifties in the spotlight.
