According to Gautam Adani, there are reports that Taylor Swift may perform at his younger son Jeet Adani's wedding next month. Yesterday, the chairman of the Adani Group announced to the media from the Maha Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj that the wedding will happen on February 7. But, in contrast to rumours, he stated that the wedding will be an ordinary and traditional affair.
Following scores of unconfirmed stories that surfaced online indicating that international music phenomenon Taylor Swift is in negotiations to play at one of the wedding functions, the billionaire made the clarification. Speculative social media posts also claimed that hundreds of luxury cars had been reserved to transport guests around, that renowned chefs from around the globe would be flown into Ahmedabad for the wedding, and that high tech would be included into the event.
In a country where billionaires often host lavish, star-studded weddings, Adani’s decision to opt for simplicity marks a departure from tradition. The industrialist shared that the wedding would focus on close family, traditional rituals, and minimal fanfare.
“Extravagance is not the essence of joy or togetherness,” Adani remarked. “The focus will be on celebrating the union of two families in a way that aligns with our values.”
The announcement has sparked widespread discussion online, with many lauding the move as an example of humility from one of the world’s wealthiest families. Social media users have praised Adani for setting a precedent in a society where weddings often become displays of wealth.
"It’s refreshing to see someone as influential as Gautam Adani advocating simplicity," commented one Twitter user.
Details about the wedding venue and guest list remain undisclosed. However, sources close to the family suggest the event will include traditional Gujarati ceremonies and a focus on cultural authenticity.
