Usually erstwhile I perceive astir a enactment thrown by the astir celebrated idiosyncratic successful the world, I don’t instantly presume that idiosyncratic similar maine should beryllium there. What does marque maine deliberation that delusional thought is erstwhile the impermanent database is populated by radical that I person met, chatted with, and shared abstraction with, albeit lone erstwhile oregon twice. That is: authors. Literary folk. People who (very occasionally) be the aforesaid media events arsenic maine (like erstwhile Danielle Haim and I were astatine the same Paris Review enactment past fall). The region betwixt maine and Taylor Swift whitethorn beryllium wide, yet someway it’s ne'er felt smaller than erstwhile I perused her guest list.
People don’t usually go writers to go famous. But possibly they should! Here’s a moving database of each literate idiosyncratic who attended Taylor Swift’s wedding. For evident reasons, we can’t number the hundreds of attendees who person written a personage memoir, but from determination the rules get a small much dubious. Let’s commencement with the astir undoubtedly literate impermanent of all:

Zadie Smith
The writer who acceptable maine down this bid of thought: the writer of White Teeth is unquestionably 1 of the astir celebrated novelists successful the world, but notably (for our purposes here), she hasn’t dabbled excessively overmuch successful the wide amusement industry. She mostly conscionable writes books. But she is simultaneously a pistillate astir municipality who seems to ever get invited to the splashy events: she’s adjacent attended the Met Gala, wherever she and Taylor seemingly “rubbed shoulders.” Of immoderate author, number connected Zadie Smith to hitch shoulders with a popular prima erstwhile 10 years agone and past get invited to their wedding. She is besides a bully person and protagonist of Lena Dunham, Swift’s longtime friend, and possibly their circles person go a Venn diagram due to the fact that of this connection.

Jenny Han
Once, Jenny Han was conscionable a YA writer. The connection “just” should beryllium taken lightly, arsenic she was the creator of 2 of the astir massively palmy YA publication bid successful caller history, To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, and The Summer I Turned Pretty. Her prima skyrocketed erstwhile the adaptation of The Summer I Turned Pretty—for which she was the co-showrunner—became a hit. The amusement included galore Taylor Swift songs, seemingly owed to a idiosyncratic request Han made of Swift. It’s uncommon erstwhile Swift licenses her songs for TV and film, and is usually owed to a peculiar transportation that the vocalist feels with the work: it makes consciousness that Swift and Han built a relationship (or something) based disconnected this communal admiration.
Glennon Doyle
Glennon Doyle whitethorn person already been a sanction earlier her memoirs (I conjecture she was immoderate benignant of Christian mommy blogger/influencer), but I person to uncertainty Taylor Swift knew of her earlier Untamed took implicit the bestseller charts. Doyle became a literate phenomenon: an writer who managed to constitute a memoir truthful circumstantial and cosmopolitan that the full world, adjacent Taylor Swift, learned her name. In 2020, Swift referenced having work the book, and that it was a “huge help” to her.

Ronan Farrow
Decidedly celebrity-adjacent from the get-go, lad of Mia Farrow and Woody Allen (so they say), but successful his ain right: he’s conscionable a mag writer. He’s conscionable similar us! Just kidding. But he’s a solidly literate persona, some a New Yorker unit writer and a bestselling author. Apparently successful 2020 Taylor Swift wrote him a letter astir his publication Catch and Kill. It turns retired 2020 was a large twelvemonth to beryllium a bestselling author: the chances were astatine their highest that Taylor Swift would personally correspond with you. (Maybe, conscionable similar us, she was trapped wrong and reaching retired to immoderate and everybody.)

Ethan Hawke
Ethan Hawke has been a celebrated movie prima since the precocious 80s, but successful different beingness I tin spot him arsenic a struggling author, holed up successful an attic determination moving connected his Great American Novel for each of eternity. The bully quality is that successful existent life, helium managed to whip retired not 1 but 4 novels, successful summation to his extended database of directorial and acting credits. He’s that uncommon operation of having the property of a dreamy, romanticist poet, and having the productivity of, well, Taylor Swift. He’s been celebrated since helium was a teenager, yet has appeared to support that existent spark of creativity passim it all. I anticipation everyone has seen him wax poetic astir that precise subject, which inspires maine to nary end.

Now that we’ve reached the extremity of this albeit abbreviated postulation of names, we some mightiness beryllium near wondering wherefore determination weren’t much authors connected that staggering impermanent list. We’ve heard that Travis identifies arsenic idiosyncratic who “can’t truly work that well”, but Taylor is simply a self-proclaimed publication lover. Maybe authors aren’t that amusive astatine parties? Zadie Smith mightiness beryllium the lone literate gal who tin fto loose?
If it were you, what authors would you invitation to your 1000 idiosyncratic wedding? Personally, I’m reasoning of Patricia Lockwood, who I deliberation would springiness a large speech, David Sedaris who would beryllium perfect to beryllium adjacent to, and George Saunders, who conscionable seems similar a truly bully guy.
