Attending Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding must have been an experience of a lifetime, and considering quests were lucky enough to win expensive prizes during a raffle...what could be better?
You read that correctly. T-Swift and T-Kelce held a raffle at their nuptials, which isn’t something I’ve ever heard about before.
However, it wasn’t a prize draw with cheap pulls...no, there were gifts worth thousands in there, and one of those items has been revealed.
For those who have somehow missed the news, Swift and Kansas City Chiefs star Kelce tied the knot in New York's Madison Square Garden, on Friday (July 3), with approximately 1,000 guests in attendance.

With A-Listers like Gigi Hadid, Bradley Cooper, Ed Sheeran, Adam Sandler – the officiant - and Kelce's teammates, the star power was real.
But the couple weren’t the only people to face a major win that day – so did Jackie Tranquill, wife of Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Drue Tranquill.
Oh, to be friends with celebrities.
Jackie and Drue attended the pair’s wedding, and celebrated the happy newlyweds in a social media post, which also showed off some pictures of their newborn son.
However, in one slide, Jackie could be seen holding a raffle ticket in her hand as an expensive Chanel handbag sat in the background.
Showing off her new purse on Instagram, it looks like it could be a Chanel 25 small handbag with grained calfskin and gold-tone metal – which, according to Chanel’s website, costs $6,700 at retail price.
Imagine going to a friend’s wedding, only to come home with Chanel.
“Freedom, Friends & fútbol,” Tranquill captioned the post, which also included images of her purple floral wedding guest gown, some good food, and the Fourth of July celebrations.
She added a ‘congrats to the newly weds ‘ and ‘Happy 250th America & of course, let’s go USA!’
“WHAT A WEEKEND, WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE!,” she ended the post saying.
But what’s even more shocking is this isn’t even the only Chanel bag to have been raffled.
According to Page Six Hollywood, Canadian singer Avril Lavigne also won a Chanel bag at the wedding party, and there were also options of winning a 1970 Chevy car.
Someone tell me how to befriend Swift, pronto.
Anyway, the Raffle win was met with differing opinions, with some calling it ‘tacky’ while others were green with envy.
One person said: “Stunning!!! And that Chanel 25.”
Another wrote: “Tacky to win prizes at a wedding?!?! But you look beautiful!!”
Here are some of the celebs on Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's star-studded guest list who have shared snippets of the big day on social media…

“But just&t to say: true to her word, of course the invitation arrived and of course I couldn't tell anyone. And oh my god what an unbelievably brilliant night. I'm off for a nap.”

“What I will say about the wedding was it was so much funnier and emotional than expected, and as big as it was, it also felt very intimate. And yes, literally everyone was there. I told Lotte many times it was like living in the internet, and AI would crack if it tried to render it.
“Anyway congratulations Taylor and Travis! Wishing your beautiful family and future family endless happiness!”
Sharing several photos, King penned: “JusT&T married,” along with five white heart emojis.
