Laila Edwards Says Invite to Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift Wedding Got Lost
Travis Kelce has been a vocal supporter of Team USA star Laila Edwards' journey to the Professional Women's Hockey League - but that does not appear to have translated to an invitation to his wedding.
"I've been moving around all over the place, they just don't know where to send it yet," a hopeful Edwards, 22, exclusively told Us Weekly at the 2026 PWHL Draft at the Fox Theatre in Detroit on Wednesday, June 17. "I think that's all."
As for the reports that Kelce, 36, and his fiancée, Taylor Swift, are getting married at Madison Square Garden, Edwards said the venue is "perfect" for the A-list couple.
It's been a whirlwind year for Edwards, which culminated with her being selected as the No. 4 overall pick by PWHL San Jose on Wednesday night.
Edwards helped Team USA capture gold at the 2026 Winter Olympics in February. The following month, Edwards and the University of Wisconsin won the school's ninth national championship.
Travis and his brother, Jason Kelce, have cheered for Edwards - who is, like the Kelces, a native of Cleveland Heights, Ohio - every step of the way, shouting her out on their mega-popular "New Heights" podcast and sending her DMs before the Olympics.
"They're really great guys," Edwards exclusively told Us in February. "They are incredible athletes, as everyone knows, but I've gotten to see who they are as people."
Edwards has become a bonafide star in her own right this year, which is not a responsibility she takes lightly.
"It's been so cool to inspire so many people and touch so many people," she told Us on Wednesday. "That's been really important to me. It's been really fun."
Edwards made history in Detroit, becoming the highest-drafted Black player in PWHL history and receiving a noticeably louder ovation than any other draftee from the crowd.
"I don't really want to hide who I am as a person," Edwards said of her connection with hockey fans. "Sometimes I think the sport needs a little more personality, you know? I'm willing to give that."
She added, "I'm still learning and doing my best."
Edwards is certainly no stranger to breaking down barriers. At the Olympics, she became the first Black player in history to represent the United States in women's hockey.
"It means the world," she told Us in February. "It's what I do things for now. It's the way I carry myself, and it's what motivates me to be the best player I can be. But more importantly, the best person and role model. I think that's super, super important. To see someone at that level is great, but I want them to see me succeed and be a great person and teammate."
