Taylor Swift was seen hiding under umbrellas as she arrived for Selena Gomez’s star-studded wedding celebration.
The “Blank Space” singer was pictured stepping off an aircraft at Santa Barbara airport on Friday afternoon in a dark shirt — as several people rushed out to cover her with a cluster of black umbrellas. Only the hitmaker’s elbow could be seen in snapshots from her big arrival.
A bystander could be seen carrying some luggage and a white box — potentially a wedding gift for Gomez and her groom Benny Blanco.
Once Swift descended the plane’s steps, she hopped into a waiting black SUV.

A rep for Swift did not immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.
A source told Page Six earlier Friday that Swift, 35, will be lodging in a private rental home during the weekend soirée for security reasons — despite the Sun’s previous report that guests would stay at El the high-profile Encanto hotel for the wedding weekend.
“She will be renting a house near the wedding venue, which is a secret to the public,” our insider said of the decision. “Her security team feels it’s better than a hotel.”
Gomez, 33, and Blanco, 37, are reportedly expected to tie the knot at a private Santa Barbara estate on Saturday, amid a romantic two-day celebration.
“All the guests will be picked up and driven to the location without knowing their destination ahead of time,” a source told the Sun earlier this month. “Everyone is so excited despite the mystery, they know it will be an amazing time.”
As for Swift, 35, it’s unclear if the hitmaker — who became engaged to Travis Kelce in August — will bring along her fiancé, as the Kansas City Chiefs tight end is set to face the Baltimore Ravens in Missouri on Sunday.
The “Only Murders in the Building” actress announced her engagement to Blanco in December 2024 via social media, with BFF Swift taking to the comments thread to react. “Yes I will be the flower girl,” she quipped.
In August, the Disney Channel alum returned the favor with a sweet comment on Swift’s engagement to the NFL star. “When besties gets engaged,” she wrote atop an Instagram Stories repost of the power couple’s engagement announcement.
