Michael Rubin hosts one of the most celebrity-packed parties of the summer, but he was not on the guest list for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding.
TMZ reported that the Fanatics CEO was asked to compare his annual Hamptons White Party with Swift and Kelce’s July 3 wedding at Madison Square Garden.
Rubin said he could not compare the two events because he was not invited.
Rubin Did Not Sound Upset About Missing the Wedding
Rubin made the comment during a TMZ Sports interview after his own White Party drew another major celebrity crowd.
Rubin’s White Party has become an annual meeting point for athletes, musicians, actors, models and business figures. People noted that past guest lists have included Beyoncé, Tom Brady, Kim Kardashian, Jay-Z, Khloé Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, Rob Gronkowski, Odell Beckham Jr., Joe Burrow and Derek Jeter.
TMZ reported that this year’s guests included Mike Tyson, Leonardo DiCaprio, Travis Scott, Tom Brady, Lil Wayne, Jake Paul, Logan Paul and Alex Rodriguez.
TMZ reported that he said he was happy for Swift and Kelce and had “a bunch of love” for the newlyweds.
The White Party Had Already Been Pulled Into Wedding Speculation

Earlier reports questioned whether Rubin had moved his annual Hamptons party so guests would not have to choose between his event and the wedding.
People reported that Rubin addressed the speculation before the wedding, saying he and his team were aware of the date but did not move the White Party because of it. He also said they did not want guests to have to choose.
TMZ previously reported that Rubin’s event was never scheduled for July 4 and that July 1 was the date listed on the invitations. The outlet said the timing was connected to a possible UFC and White House scheduling conflict, not an attempt to avoid competing with Swift and Kelce.
Swift and Kelce’s Wedding Became Its Own Celebrity Event
Swift and Kelce married July 3 at Madison Square Garden. People reported that the couple transformed the arena into a fairytale-inspired garden and hosted roughly 1,000 guests.
The wedding included several unconventional details, including digital invitations, no traditional bridal party and a vow exchange that reportedly lasted about 40 minutes.
People also reported that Adam Sandler officiated the ceremony, while Stevie Nicks and Paul McCartney performed during the celebration.
