Wedding Season Chaos: While Taylor Plans, Her Ex's Bride Takes Flight

Rhode Island just became ground zero for one of pop culture’s wildest wedding seasons, and the timing couldn’t be more perfectly awkward.

Gabbriette kicked off her bachelorette celebration in style this weekend, loading up Instagram Stories with the kind of over-the-top details that make for legendary pre-wedding memories. We’re talking handcuffs, a private jet entrance, vintage Chanel, pink streamers, and — because why not — custom bills printed with her face. Her squad even decorated the aircraft with pink roses accented with playing cards and fake money. The bride-to-be spent the flight cozying up to a giant photo of her fiancé’s head, soaking in every second of what looks like the bachelorette party template for people with actual resources.

Here’s where it gets deliciously complicated: the groom is Matty Healy, frontman of The 1975 and Taylor Swift’s brief 2023 fling. Remember that? Taylor and Matty were linked in spring 2023, just weeks after her split from Joe Alwyn, and the whole thing burned out almost as fast as it ignited. By June 2023, they’d called it quits. A year later, Matty announced his engagement to Gabbriette on June 11, 2024 — and now the wedding countdown is officially underway.

Meanwhile, Taylor herself is preparing for her own walk down the aisle with Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce, whom she met in July 2023. Sources say Taylor’s Rhode Island mansion has been buzzing with activity this week, with her high school best friend Abigail Anderson and other women spotted at the property. Security’s got the place locked down tight, but wedding insiders are saying we won’t see the actual ceremony this weekend — instead, there’s a bachelorette-style bash happening at her pad.

The wedding venue intel is equally telling. Ocean House, a ritzy spot right down the street from Taylor’s place, is hosting a couple this Saturday, but the bride’s mother confirmed there’s been zero sign of Taylor around the venue. So no, Taylor and Matty’s ex aren’t about to cross paths at some awkward reception.

It’s the kind of Hollywood convergence that writes itself: exes getting married weeks apart, in the same zip code, with wildly different energy levels. Taylor’s keeping things locked down and private while Gabbriette’s out here documenting every champagne toast and custom accessory. Both brides are winning in their own way — one’s playing it cool, the other’s making it a production. Either way, Rhode Island’s never seen a wedding season quite like this.
