Flavor Flav didn't get an invite to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding, but he's still holding out hope he'll get the golden ticket.

The rapper, 66, is Swift's number one fan and has been named 'King Swiftie' by fellow fans, so naturally he'd love nothing better than to watch his favorite gal walk down the aisle with the Kansas City Chiefs tight end.

With the couple's wedding - and where and when - on everyone's radar in 2026, it's never too late in Flav's book.

Speaking to People at the Formula 1 Heineken Las Vegas Grand Prix on November 22, Flav said he'd gladly accept an invite from the Opalite singer in any shape or form.

'No, I didn't get an invite to the wedding. I ain't expect one. You know what I'm saying? The whole nine,' Flav told the publication. 'But they know they got my blessings and if she invites me, you dig? All right. I'm going. King Swiftie going to be at the wedding.'

The Fight the Power rapper - whose real name is William Jonathan Drayton Jr. - let it be known he was a super fan of the singer in March 2023, publicly professing his admiration at the iHeartRadio Awards where he sported Swift-themed merch like the Bad Blood lyric shirt and clock necklace.

In June 2023, Flav attended an Eras concert in Detroit where fans lavished him with friendship bracelets, making his initiation into serious fandom complete.

'It started because I got a girl that lives in Detroit and her kids wanted to go to the Eras Tour concert,' he revealed to Us Weekly. 'So, my manager got in contact with Taylor Swift's people, and they hooked me up some tickets and passes.'

He continued: 'We walked over to the tent where I was supposed to be at, a lot of these fans were coming up to me - these young kids, man, I'm surprised they even knew who I was! - and they start giving me these friendship bracelets.

'Next thing you know, I have friendship bracelets all up and down my arm,' he recalled.

By late 2023, Flav had already attended many stops of Swift's Eras Tour, earning him the moniker 'King Swiftie.' He even made his own friendship bracelets - handmade beaded bracelets that fans make and trade at all her concerts.

'I'm King Swiftie. I love the Swifties. Mad shout out to the Swifties, baby,' Flav told People.

To his utter joy and happiness, Flav and Swift got a chance to reconnect last year at the Grammys, where she took home the awards for Best Pop Vocal and Album of the Year.

In July 2024, Swift gave the entertainer a special shoutout at her show in Hamburg, Germany by pointing at him in the crowd and mouthing his name. He posted a video of the moment on X.

After Swift, 36, and Kelce, 36, announced their engagement in August, Flav let it be known that he's actively working on getting ordained so he can officiate the couple's wedding.

He told People in September that he loves her newest album, The Life of a Showgirl, too.

'Not only that, I'm very happy for her too. You know what I'm saying? Not only that, but she's about to hopefully one day get married,' he gushed.

'And if she does, hopefully if I have my license in time, I want to be the one officiating the wedding,' he added.

Flav can't say enough good things about the Shake it Up songstress.

'I always go hard for Taylor Swift. The Swifties, they know how hard I go in for Taylor Swift,' Flav said.

'The Swifties gave me a brand new name called King Swiftie. So, I'm King Swiftie. I'm king of all the Swifties, and Taylor, she knows that too. I love her. I love her work. She's one of the most important artists of our time. I don't know no other musical artists that can throw a concert, and it hits the Richter scale. She causes earthquakes.'

Flav is keen to collaborate with Swift as well if she'll do it.

Speaking to Us Weekly, he raved: 'Who wouldn't want to collab with Taylor? Can you tell me? Alright, OK? You're talking to King Swiftie here.'

Swift and Kelce's wedding could be the American version of a royal wedding.

The Love Story singer told UK host Graham Norton that Kelce's proposal was totally out of the blue.

'He really crushed it in surprising me,' she said. 'While we were talking on his podcast, he had a complete garden built out the back of his house to propose in. He went all out - 10 out of 10.'
