Taylor Swift is officially back in Cali to celebrate Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco‘s nuptials … though fans hoping to catch a full glimpse of her at the airport are sure to be disappointed.
The singer-songwriter arrived at Santa Barbara airport Friday afternoon … but, before she deplaned, a ton of dudes ran out in front of her to cover up the stairs with umbrellas — almost completely blocking the pop star from view … aside from her superstar elbow.

Check it out … it’s a pretty effective disguise — and one Taylor’s used before, pulling a similar trick before Super Bowl LVIII in 2024. You can see just a hint of her maroon dress and her arm as well.
A black SUV is waiting at the bottom of the stairs … and it pulls away once Taylor hops inside — whisking her off to wherever she’s staying before the big event.
It seems Taylor brought some sort of gift with her, too … ’cause one of her compatriots is holding a big white box — possibly a gift for the happy couple?
As we told you … Selena and Benny are tying the knot in front of their friends and family at a private estate in Montecito this weekend — with the wedding expected to take place tomorrow.
Workers are busy erecting tents and other structures to facilitate the ceremony … which will have to be quite large and lavish to cater to the expected 170+ guests.

Taylor and Selena struck up a friendship way back in the day while Selena was dating Nick Jonas and Taylor was dating his brother Joe Jonas … recently saying on the “Therapuss” podcast they “like to say the best things [they] got out of those relationships was each other.”
Hopefully, everything goes well on Gomez’s big day … though Taylor seems to have enough umbrellas for all her guests in case it rains!
