Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and global pop sensation Taylor Swift officially became husband and wife over the weekend in one of the most high-profile celebrity weddings in recent memory. The event was a true star-studded, A-list event, but one prominent sports star declined to attend.
During a recent radio appearance, NBA legend and current NBA broadcaster Charles Barkley confirmed that he did receive an invitation to the wedding, but he chose not to attend because he thought it would be a “crap show.”

‘I thought it would be a crap show’
The Swift and Kelce wedding in New York City’s Madison Square Garden over the weekend was an extremely private and exclusive event seemingly reserved for some of the most high-profile celebrities on the planet. However, one invitee chose not to attend.
During an interview on Unfiltered with Ricky Bo and Bill Colarulo on Philadelphia’s 97.5 The Fanatic Monday afternoon, Charles Barkley confirmed that he did receive an invitation to the high-profile celebrity wedding, but he “politely declined.”
“I don’t go to weddings or funerals,” Barkley said during the interview this week. “But I did get an invite, and I politely declined because I thought it was going to be a crap show. I love Travis and Jason, and I’ve only met Taylor one time, but yeah, I did get an invite. But I said, that’s just too much. I just want to hang out and play golf, and I don’t want to dress up and all that other stuff. But I appreciate the invitation; it was pretty special.”
There were several high-profile sports figures in attendance, given Kelce’s involvement in the NFL, but Barkley was not one of them.
