Will Compton, the former NFL linebacker and co-host of the popular Bussin’ with the Boys podcast, recently expressed his humorous disbelief at not receiving an invitation to the highly publicized wedding of Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift. Despite his professional history with the Kansas City Chiefs star, Compton admitted he was left “kinda flabbergasted” by the exclusion.
During a recent episode of Wake Up Barstool, Compton discussed the situation with Barstool founder Dave Portnoy. Having shared the field with Kelce during his time in the NFL and hosting the tight end on his podcast multiple times—including a notable appearance in 2024—Compton felt his connection to the couple was substantial. He also noted his regular participation in the Kelce-hosted Tight End University event, where he and co-host Taylor Lewan have even served as masters of ceremonies.
“I’m gonna be honest, I didn’t think nothing of it at first. But all these photos, I keep seeing… I see Dean Blandino got an invite. Is that real?” Compton remarked, highlighting his surprise at seeing other NFL figures on the guest list. The event, which drew over 1,000 attendees, became a focal point for speculation and even betting markets.
While the exclusion might seem like a slight, it is clear that Compton is taking the situation in stride. Known for his sharp wit and ability to capitalize on sports culture trends, he is likely to turn the “snub” into engaging content for his audience. As he noted, he plans to follow the lead of the pop superstar herself and simply “shake it off.”
