Selena Gomez's wedding, A-list star absent at the last minute, Taylor Swift has shocking attitude

The most anticipated wedding in Hollywood this fall is the wedding of Selena Gomez and music producer Benny Blanco , which will officially take place this weekend in California (USA). Taylor Swift 's best friend shocked the media with the first image.

According to Page Six, the couple spent a lot of money by renting out the entire luxury hotel and resort El Encanto, owned by Tinder co-founder Justin Mateen, to serve guests during the wedding days.

However, this lavish event has just recorded an unfortunate change. Actress Meryl Streep, who collaborated and had a close relationship with Selena Gomez in the movie Only Murders in the Building, has officially withdrawn from the guest list. It is known that Meryl Streep proactively contacted Gomez to inform her that she was busy. Although the specific reason was not revealed, Page Six said that it is highly likely that the Oscar-winning actress had to focus on filming the new part of The Devil Wears Prada in New York, which coincided with the wedding.

Meanwhile, Taylor Swift – Selena Gomez’s longtime best friend – has confirmed that she will be attending the wedding. Despite being busy with her own schedule and her fiancé Travis Kelce having a competition, the singer still made time to come alone to share the joy with her best friend. This is considered one of the most anticipated moments of the wedding by the media and fans.

Notably, Taylor Swift did not stay at the El Encanto Hotel with other guests. Sources revealed that the singer rented a private house near the wedding venue. The main reason was that Taylor Swift wanted to avoid the situation of "too many celebrities" gathering at the same hotel, and was also concerned about security issues. This decision further demonstrates Taylor Swift's caution in the context of the event gathering A-list stars.

Meanwhile, according to Daily Mail, preparations for this lavish wedding are being rushed to completion. The venue is covered by a system of magnificent tents, surrounded by many layers of security fences. The event organizing team has mobilized a large security force to prevent access from the media and paparazzi, while maintaining complete privacy for the bride, groom and guests.

It is estimated that Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco spent up to 300,000 USD (equivalent to 7.9 billion VND) just on security and privacy. The wedding is expected to have about 300 guests, including many famous faces in the international entertainment industry. With such a "huge" investment, it is not surprising that Gomez - Blanco's wedding is considered one of the biggest entertainment events of 2025.

Meryl Streep's absence somewhat left fans with regret, as the veteran actress's appearance would have been a special highlight for the wedding. However, the audience still focused their attention on the remaining guests, especially the reunion of Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift - the famous Hollywood duo of best friends.

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco's wedding was not only a grand event for the couple, but also a global media highlight, where the public awaited lavish, romantic, and emotional images. While many Hollywood stars have recently held private weddings, Gomez and Blanco chose to keep it "private in luxury", both maintaining privacy and creating a memorable impression in the hearts of fans.
