Simone Biles Defends Her Invitation to Taylor Swift‑Travis Kelce Wedding Amid Troll Criticism

Olympic gymnastics star Simone Biles attended Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s July 3 wedding at New York’s Madison Square Garden, arriving in a custom maroon haute‑couture gown designed by Vietnamese designer Đỗ Long. She was accompanied by her husband, Chicago Bears safety Jonathan Owens, and the couple were noted for their stylish appearance.

After a social‑media user questioned why Biles was invited, she responded on Instagram, saying, “Remember this, I only show y’all what I want y’all to know.” The reply was praised and the focus shifted back to her fashion choice, which featured a halter neckline, leather fringe, and a tulle train. The wedding, transformed into an enchanted forest, hosted about 1,000 guests and performances by stars such as Stevie Nicks, Selena Gomez and Adam Sandler.

The incident highlighted Biles’s quick‑witted defense of her presence at one of the year’s most talked‑about celebrity celebrations.
