NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Ever since Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce tied the knot, social media has been flooded with AI-generated images claiming to offer a glimpse inside their highly private wedding. With so many convincing fakes circulating online, fans have struggled to separate fact from fiction.

Now, one of the couple's wedding guests has set the record straight. Director Joseph Kahn, who has worked with Swift on several of her biggest music videos, dismissed the viral images as completely fabricated, saying every wedding photo he has seen online is fake.

Joseph Kahn has directed several of Swift's biggest music videos, including 'Blank Space,' 'Bad Blood,' 'Wildest Dreams,' 'Look What You Made Me Do,' '...Ready for It?' and 'Delicate.'

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce wedding guest debunks viral wedding photos

The filmmaker, who directed some of Swift's most iconic music videos, including 'Bad Blood', 'Blank Space', and 'Look What You Made Me Do', took to X after fake wedding photos began circulating online.

"Every picture I've seen of the wedding is fake. Trust me, AI would break if you tried to prompt it." He didn't say much, but his statement made it clear he was well aware of the images making the rounds on social media.

Just a day before, Kahn posted a photo with his wife, Lotte, giving fans a glimpse of the venue's pink decor. He wrote, "Had a wonderful time at Taylor Swift/Travis Kelce's wedding last night."

"I got to meet Steven Spielberg and the lovely Kate Capshaw and talk filmmaking with the GOAT (lifelong dream achieved)."



He also described the ceremony as an emotional yet intimate affair despite its grand scale, writing, "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."

AI-generated Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce wedding photos spread across social media

Swift and Kelce's wedding has triggered a flood of AI-generated images across social media, with many fans struggling to tell what is real. One widely shared image appears to show the couple walking hand in hand after saying "I do," while others claim to capture moments from the ceremony and reception.

One viral X post even claimed someone had secretly photographed the wedding, joking, "Shoutout to whoever snuck a camera into Travis and Taylor's wedding. Unfortunately they will probably be sued for everything they have."



Even comedian Bert Kreischer joined the trend before the wedding, posting a spoof image with the couple on Instagram.

Despite how convincing they appear, none of the viral wedding photos can be independently verified unless they are shared by Swift, Kelce, or their families or representatives.
