The question on everyone's mind in the aftermath of the Madison Square Garden wedding celebration of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce has been answered. Was Charles Barkley there? To this point it's been an unsolved mystery. But thanks to the intrepid work of "Unfiltered With Ricky Bo & Colaruo," we now have closure.
It turns out that the Round Mound of Rebound had an invite to rub elbows with all of the pretty people but found something better to do instead.
"I don't go to weddings or funerals," Barkley said. "But I did get an invite and I politely declined because I thought it was going to be a ****** show. I love Travis and Jason and I've only met Taylor one time … I said 'you know, that's just too much.' I just want to hang out and play golf and I don't want to dress up and all that other stuff. But I appreciate the invitation. It was pretty special.
Now, I have never met anyone who has a standing "no weddings or funerals" policy. That seems like something that wouldn't sit well with a lot of people. On the other hand, Barkley surely diverts a lot of attention from where it should be at those events so one can see how a person comes to that way of thinking.
As for his pre-event belief that the whole thing would be a circus, he's certainly not wrong. Though it must be said that by all reports things went very smoothly and a good time was had by all. Barkley will have to come to terms with passing up his one and only opportunity to be in the same room as Paul McCartney and Dean Blandino.
