Who is ex-NFL player Will Compton, left off Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding guest list?
The former linebacker played for the Washington Commanders, the Tennessee Titans and the Las Vegas Raiders – now he co-hosts the Bussin’ with the Boys podcast
The former linebacker made the initial viral comment on Monday’s episode of sports talk show Wake Up Barstool, during which host Dave Portnoy asked Compton about his absence from the Madison Square Garden wedding.
Portnoy also noted that every member of Tight End University, an annual three-day football camp co-founded by Kelce, had received an invitation to the wedding – aside from Compton.
Compton told Portnoy that he initially hadn’t thought much about not being invited, but had a change of heart when he saw photos of the wedding guests, which totalled nearly 1,000.
“As I’ve been seeing these photos of everybody else at that wedding, I am pretty flabbergasted that we didn’t get the invite,” Compton said. “All these photos I keep seeing, I see [sports writer] Dean Blandino got an invite. Is that real?”
Compton later doubled down and shared a post by TMZ on X about the wedding snub, writing, “Don’t think I’ve ever seen Dean Blandino at Tight End University.”
However, as Compton’s post made headlines again, with Page Six writing, “Baby, now they’ve got bad blood” in reference to Swift’s hit song, the retired NFL player decided to clear the air.
In an X post on Wednesday, Compton said he was “flabbergasted at how many people took this seriously”. “A couple media outlets reached out directly, asking if I’d go on record, if I’ve spoken w Travis, if there are others that are upset. Insanity!!! I was just busting balls,” he wrote.
