Gwen Stefani has come under scrutiny for sharing images of her and Blake Shelton‘s marriage ceremony on the same day as Taylor Swift‘s wedding.

The post, which marked her 5th wedding anniversary, went viral online, with some individuals accusing Stefani of intentionally posting it on the same day the singer tied the knot with her NFL beau, Travis Kelce.

This comes after Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce shut down New York City with their extravagant wedding event, which was celebrated at Madison Square Garden, with a star-studded guest list in attendance.

Gwen Stefani Faced Surprising Backlash Over Her Marriage Anniversary While Taylor Swift’s Wedding Was Taking Place

Stefani likely did not expect to receive criticism over her normal annual wedding anniversary post, which she makes on July 3.

However, the singer faced some backlash due to the images of her wedding from five years ago popping up online at the same time pop superstar Taylor Swift’s wedding to Travis Kelce was taking place at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Stefani shared a bunch of the images on her Instagram page, with the caption reading, “5 years married to my forever @blakeshelton gx.”

While receiving sweet congratulatory messages from fans and close pals, the scene was more brutal on X, with many accusing her of trying to “overshadow” Swift on her special day.

One critic wrote on the platform in a viral post with over one million views: “I am not suggesting that Gwen Stefani has to follow some set of rules about when she celebrates her wedding anniversary. But I am fascinated by her choice to post this while Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding was taking place.”

Another viral post read, “The concept of Gwen Stefani trying to overshadow Taylor Swift,” while a third noted with a harsh comment, “She’s [a] bitch, not [a] girl’s girl, like wtf you posting it today?”

Amid the backlash, Stefani received a flood of support from individuals who noted that she married on July 3, so she should have the right to share images of her wedding whenever she pleases on that particular day.

One individual noted, “She got married on this day before Taylor! Maybe Taylor should have picked another date.”

Another said, “It’s literally her wedding anniversary, as well as countless others. You don’t take a backseat to anyone else, no matter who they are, just because someone else is getting married the same day you did.”

“I know, right? I am fascinated by America choosing to celebrate its 250th birthday tomorrow. It’s way too close to Taylor Swift’s wedding,” a third person commented, sarcastically.

“So she’s not supposed to celebrate her f-cking wedding anniversary? You sound completely out of your f-cking mind,” an individual wrote, while another noted, “It’s Blake & Gwen’s anniversary. Taylor doesn’t own July 3rd.”

According to reports, Swift and Kelce’s marriage is protected by an ironclad prenuptial agreement designed to safeguard her $2 billion empire and his $90 million fortune.

Insiders, speaking to various outlets, revealed that arrangement was meticulously crafted under the watchful eye of Swift’s legal team and her family.

Most notably, the singer’s father, Scott Swift, who has famously steered her massive business brand for years, was heavily involved in the planning.

As for Kelce, he is said to have wholeheartedly accepted the prenup deal, completely understanding the importance for such an agreement.

“Travis has a very clear sense of what Taylor has created and how many years went into it,” a source told OK! Magazine. “He views the prenup as basic common sense on her part, not some kind of loyalty test, and snapped up the deal when it was put in front of him and his lawyers.”
