Lauren Alaina, a notable presence at the ACMs, displayed her trademark charm in a vibrant red ensemble. During her chat with Access Hollywood, the 31-year-old singer shared her excitement at the thought of performing at Swift and Kelce’s wedding. Despite her nerves, which she jokingly noted would leave her feeling like she might “throw up,” Alaina affirmed she would gladly accept the invitation. “I would do it and I would sing the ABCs if she wanted me to, on repeat all night,” Alaina remarked, reflecting her playful spirit.
The acclaimed duo Dan + Shay also chimed in, revealing that they have a special connection to one of Swift’s hits. Members Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney, who recently performed their new single “Say So” at the ACMs, recalled a past wedding where they sang Swift’s “Love Story.” “We honestly sang ‘Love Story’ by Taylor Swift at a wedding one time. They wanted Taylor Swift and couldn’t get her, so they got us instead,” Smyers recounted, full of good humour. The duo agreed that they would happily take the stage to share the everlasting love anthem with the newlyweds.
Riley Green, known for his dynamic performances, also joined the conversation. At the ACM Awards, Green entertained the crowd with his breakout hit “Change My Mind” and took home the award for Music Event of the Year alongside Ella Langley for their collaboration “Don’t Mind If I Do.” However, when it came to picking a song for Swift and Kelce, he mentioned he might opt for his own track, “Worst Way.” “That’s a love song. She could afford me too. Actually, if y’all want me to play, just call,” he quipped, showcasing his uniquely humorous approach to the situation.
The charismatic Michael Bublé, a known admirer of Swift’s work, also expressed willingness to join the wedding festivities. The 50-year-old crooner, who previously shared that he enjoys “dance parties to Taylor Swift” at home with his family, conveyed to Access Hollywood that he would choose to perform Nat King Cole’s classic, “L-O-V-E.” His affinity for the song seemed fitting, given the romantic context of a wedding celebration.
Thomas Rhett, another musical heavyweight in attendance, also offered his perspective. After delivering a spirited performance of his song “Ain’t A Bad Life” with Jordan Davis, Rhett joked that the couple might do better opting for someone else. “I would say you’ve got better options,” he laughed, clearly relishing the banter surrounding the iconic couple’s potential wedding plans.
As the ACMs concluded, it became evident that the music community is not only keen to celebrate Swift and Kelce’s relationship but also eager to participate in their festivities. The playful banter and light-hearted suggestions from these artists reflect the camaraderie and mutual respect among colleagues in the entertainment industry.
With so many talented performers ready to step in for a wedding performance, it is clear that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have an array of options should they desire a star-studded musical experience for their special day. While the details of their nuptials remain closely guarded, the excitement and support from their peers add to the celebratory atmosphere surrounding their relationship.
As fans of both the superstar singer and the NFL athlete await further news of their wedding plans, one thing remains certain: music will undoubtedly play a significant role in the celebration of their love. Whether it’s Alaina’s playful insistence on singing the ABCs or Bublé’s romantic tribute, the eagerness of these artists showcases the unwavering bond of camaraderie within the music industry.
