Pop star Taylor Swift did not invite her godson, Leo Thames, to her high-profile wedding with Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce.
The ceremony hosted over 1,000 guests.

Publicist Jane Owen clarified that the absence of actress Jaime King's son was due to age-appropriate considerations.
"Leo Thames is still too young for a large adult wedding celebration, but he and his mother were able to joyfully celebrate Taylor and Kelce's marriage in his own very special, age-appropriate way during his summer break," Owen told Page Six.
The representative emphasized that the choice of godparent reflected spiritual values.
"The reason Jaime chose Taylor as Leo Thames's godmother is because they both believe that being a godmother is a deeply personal and spiritual commitment that has nothing to do with public appearances," Owen stated.
Swift and King met at a Golden Globes party in 2014. King selected the singer as godparent for her second child in 2015.
"I always knew she was going to be the godmother if I had another baby," King said during a 2015 interview with Elle.
King previously detailed the significance of choosing a godparent. "Choosing a godmother is a very sacred and important thing in our family.
They're going to be guiding your child, and they're responsible for them if something was to ever happen," King explained.
She praised Swift's personal dedication.
"We try and choose people who we know would raise our child the way that we would raise our child and her thoughtfulness, her kindness, her authenticity—the way that she's generous with her family, with her friends, with her fans—is so powerful to me," King said.
