Taylor Swift showed off her dazzling new wedding ring as she and husband Travis Kelce attended his former teammate’s wedding ceremony.
The newlyweds were among the guests who attended former Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster and Laura Kruk’s wedding at the Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel in Orange County, California on Friday.
It came just one week after they celebrated their own love at their $50 million extravaganza at the iconic Madison Square Garden in New York City.
The 36-year-old Grammy winner and the NFL player, 36, made their first public appearance as husband and wife during the outdoor ceremony, where cameras captured the first glimpse of Swift’s wedding ring.
One photo showed Swift holding her hand over her heart as the couple exchanged vows, with her massive ring just visible. In other images, the ring shimmered in the sun as she hugged guests and sipped champagne from a flute.
The pop star complemented her new rock with a strapless pink brocade Markarian gown retailing for $4,115, finished with her signature red lip. Meanwhile, Kelce cut a sharp figure in a gray suit.
The pair walked into the ceremony hand in hand, still basking in marital bliss.
The wedding ring was an addition to the old mine brilliant cut diamond engagement ring which Kelce used to pop the question and which is valued between $550,000 and $1 million.

But it appears the Miss Americana star is still a bit shy about showing off her new bling so soon after her own celebrity-studded wedding.
Swift and Kelce jetted off from the Big Apple to the ultra-exclusive Yellowstone Club in Big Sky, Montana, where they enjoyed ‘complete privacy’ over the July Fourth weekend and the following days.
They were spotted arriving in California on Thursday after Swift’s private jet flew from Montana to Hollywood Burbank Airport. Daily Mail footage captured dozens of umbrellas opening to shield the couple as they disembarked the plane.
The pair then entered a convoy of vehicles that appeared to whisk Swift and her new husband to her Beverly Hills mansion, located 15 miles away.
Smith-Schuster’s wedding is expected to be just a brief interruption in Swift and Kelce’s romantic honeymoon adventures.
After celebrating the former football player’s nuptials, the couple is reportedly set to continue their honeymoon tour, with Greece and a wider European island-hopping getaway rumored to be on the itinerary.
Speculation has continued to swirl over the details of their lavish wedding celebration at the legendary Manhattan stadium, including what exactly the couple exchanged at the altar.
Last week, Sophie Lomax, Head of Design at Austen & Blake, shared her predictions with the Daily Mail.

‘We predict Taylor will likely choose a yellow gold wedding band to match her engagement ring. This warm, traditional metal is an enduring symbol of love and commitment,’ Lomax said.
‘Her engagement ring will likely determine her chosen karat, as it’s recommended that the two rings match,’ she added.
Lomax explained that the band may be vintage inspired to match her engagement ring.
‘Taylor’s engagement ring features beautiful detailing on the yellow gold band. It adds a romantic, almost whimsical touch to the design,’ the design head said.
‘A vintage-inspired wedding ring usually echoes these features with intricate designs and classic details that capture the romance of bygone eras,’ she added.
‘They’re ideal for those who appreciate historical beauty and rare styles. These rings offer a distinctive and enduring symbol of love.’
Swift and Kelce partied late into the night for their ‘rehearsal dinner’ with 100 of their closest friends, including Hadid, her partner Cooper, Selena Gomez and Jack Antonoff.
The following day, they exchanged 20-minute vows in front of a star-studded guest list that included nearly all of Kelce’s Chiefs teammates last week, though Page Six had previously reported that the couple had already married.
Their 1,000-guest ceremony came almost one year after they announced their engagement on Instagram last August, with the caption reading: ‘Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.’
Kelce proposed in an intimate garden setting at his home in Lee’s Summit, Missouri. They kept the engagement private for about two weeks before the public reveal.
Unlike her new wedding ring, Swift proudly showed off her engagement ring, a vintage-inspired old mine brilliant-cut diamond designed by Kelce alongside Kindred Lubeck of Artifex Fine Jewelry in New York City.
According to Lubeck’s bio, the Neptune Beach, Florida-born jewelry designer is ‘a goldsmith, hand engraver, and vintage jewelry collector’ who now creates one-of-a-kind pieces in Manhattan.
In an interview with UK’s Heart radio station last year, Swift gushed about her ‘hardware upgrade’ and explained that she had shown Kelce a video of the designer back in 2024.
