Summary
July 2026 posts from Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding drew backlash for Simone Biles, who replied to one skeptic, “I only show y’all what I want y’all to know.”
The criticism centered on whether Biles and Swift were truly close enough for a wedding invite, after Biles captioned her Instagram photos, “The perfect love story, followed by the perfect nighTT.”
Their public connection stretches back to 2016, when Swift cheered Team USA, and deepened in 2021 when Swift defended Biles after her Tokyo Olympic withdrawal and the two exchanged supportive messages.
Biles has since publicly praised Swift multiple times, from presenting her with a 2021 media award to saying in 2024 that Swift and Beyoncé were “my girls,” giving context to the wedding appearance.
