Music Idol Rejects Travis Kelces Wedding Invite

Some of the biggest stars of the music, film and sports industries were gathered to celebrate and 's on Friday.

But one star who has been an icon of Swift's her whole life was notably missing from the July 3 celebrations in , despite receiving an invitation.

That evening, James Taylor revealed during a performance at the Tanglewood Music Festival that he had been on the guest list but had to turn down the invite.

'You know, [my wife Kim] and I were invited to a wedding at Madison Square Garden tonight,' the 78-year-old singer–songwriter announced to the crowd, according to the Berkshire Eagle.

However, Taylor, who was playing the first of a two-night run at the festival, has been performing shows around the Fourth of July at the festival in Lenox, , for the past 52 years in a row dating back to 1974, and he wasn't willing to break that streak even for Swift and Kelce's wedding.

Still, the Fire And Rain singer said he wished the newlyweds 'happiness and smooth sailing' in their marriage.

The Daily Mail has reached out to representatives for Taylor and Swift to request comment but has not yet heard back.

His July 3 and 4 shows were held at the Tanglewood Music Festival's Koussevitzky Music Shed, and attendees were treated to a fireworks display afterward.

Swift's connection to the legendary performer technically goes back to before she was born, as her parents named her after Taylor.

In 2011, Swift revealed at a Madison Square Garden concert that her mother revealed she was named after Taylor when she said the only song she liked singing in school was his tune Fire And Ice. Then Taylor made a surprise appearance for a duet of the song (pictured)
