The “Havana” singer was photographed in the West Village on Friday in a Zimmermann lace gown before heading to the ceremony. She’s one of hundreds of guests converging on MSG for Swift and Kelce’s black-tie night.
Hundreds of guests are descending on Madison Square Garden tonight for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding, and Camila Cabello is among the first to be photographed on her way in.
Cabello, 29, was spotted in the West Village in Zimmermann’s Luna Lace Billow Gown, a red off-the-shoulder piece with a keyhole cutout, cape sleeves, and a sheer lace skirt. She finished the look with a silver cross pendant on a black velvet ribbon and diamond drop earrings, and posted a clip from the back of a Sprinter van captioned “Hija de la luna,” or “daughter of the moon.”
The dress code is black tie, and the guest list reportedly includes Gigi Hadid, Bradley Cooper, Benson Boone, Sombr, Jason Sudeikis, and Hugh Grant.
Born Karla Camila Cabello Estrabao, Cabello is a Cuban-Mexican-American singer who first broke through as a member of Fifth Harmony from 2012 to 2016. Her solo career took off with “Havana” in 2017, followed by “Señorita” with Shawn Mendes and “Never Be the Same,” and she’s released three solo albums: Camila, Romance, and Familia. She’s been open about her anxiety, her immigrant family, and her Cuban roots, and often folds Latin influences into her pop.
Her friendship with Swift goes back more than a decade. Cabello, a self-described Swiftie at the time, walked up to Taylor at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards, where Swift was sitting next to Lorde. “I was like, ‘I just wanted to say I’m such a huge fan of you guys and I love your music and you’ve inspired me so much,'” she told Billboard in 2018. Swift invited her to sit with her at an afterparty later that night, and they became friends. “I feel like we’re really similar as people,” Cabello said. “We’re both very emotional and like a lot of the same things. Even small things like poetry or the same kind of films or very girly kind of stuff.”
The next year, Swift threw Cabello an 18th birthday party with Selena Gomez and Hailee Steinfeld among the guests, and in 2018 Cabello opened for Swift on the Reputation Stadium Tour. Cabello has credited Swift with teaching her how to “water the seeds” of real friendships, and has said Taylor still texts her back despite how busy she is. Fans call the pairing “Taymila.”
