'She wants to be surrounded by those who can genuinely share the love and meaning of the day, especially the people who have played important roles in her life for years. Over time, some of her friendships have become strained for various reasons.

A source close to Swift, however, disputed that Braun was the main reason for their rift, and claimed Kloss's 'political affiliation with the Kushner name did play a role in their friendship fallout.' Above, with sister-in-law Ivanka Trump (second left) and Jared Kushner (end left)
The insider added that Kloss's association with Braun 'has been a major issue for Taylor', saying, 'In Taylor’s eyes, anyone closely aligned with Scooter is someone she simply cannot fully trust.
'She feels very strongly about who Scooter is as a person based on her own experiences with him, and because of that, she views the loyalty others show toward him as extremely revealing.
'To Taylor, if someone is willing to stand by Scooter at any point despite everything that has happened, it says a lot about their character and where their loyalties truly lie.'
Braun, 44, recently addressed his infamous 'feud' with Swift over her masters - sparked when he purchased the rights to the records back in 2020 through the private equity firm Shamrock Capital. Last year Swift bought back her masters.
He claimed, 'I don't know Taylor Swift. I think I've met her in my life three times. I have never had a substantial conversation with her in my life.'
The businessman explained he had been invited to a party hosted by Swift in the past, where they both expressed that they had the 'utmost respect' for each other at the time.
The record executive added, 'But I think there's this big misconception that, like, we knew each other and we had this feud and I managed her for years.
'And people are usually shocked to find out that I legitimately don't know her and didn't have many interactions with her and never really knew her.'
Braun claimed that he had spoken to the Bad Blood hitmaker 'once' and the conversation only lasted for a couple of minutes.
A source close to Swift, however, disputed that Braun was the main reason for their rift and claimed that Kloss's 'political affiliation with the Kushner name did play a role in their friendship fallout.'
Kloss's brother-in-law Jared Kushner, who is married to Ivanka Trump, serves as Special Peace Envoy for the Trump administration.
The supermodel made a shock appearance at Swift's Eras Tour in Inglewood, California, in 2023 - with the insider revealing the tickets were gifted and the pair were 'still acquaintances.'
Swift and Kelce, both 36, were engaged in August last year, with Kloss liking the singer's post captioned, 'Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.

'Obviously, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds will not be attending,' the source said
The Daily Mail recently confirmed that Swift and Kelce are set to marry in NYC on July 3.
It was previously speculated that the couple would say 'I do' at her lavish Rhode Island estate.
The star had said earlier this year that their guest list would be massive to avoid the 'stressful' nature of smaller weddings.
But it has since been reported that the couple have scaled the wedding down.
Guests who received an invitation have also been required to RSVP with a signed NDA to help keep details of the nuptials private, per a source.
The exact location of the wedding is unknown, but it is said to be an arena- or museum-like space.
The sports player had turned his backyard in Kansas City into a secret garden wonderland, which offered a romantic atmosphere.
He had asked Swift to marry him shortly after they recorded an episode of his New Heights podcast together.
It has also been previously claimed that the singer has asked some of her celebrity friends to be her bridesmaids, including Gomez and Hadid.
Two months after the pair will marry, Kelce is scheduled to kick off the new NFL season with the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Daily Mail has contacted representatives for Swift and Kloss for comment.
