Bezos Wedding Gig Rumors Debunked: Gaga & Elton Never Invited
Here we go again—wild headlines claiming Lady Gaga and Elton John each demanded a six-figure fee to crash Jeff Bezos’s Venice nuptials. Spare me. It never happened. TMZ broke this one wide open on June 30, and insiders for both icons say the whole saga is laughable. Apparently, someone thought it made a juicy story to allege Gaga and Sir Elton wanted $6 million apiece to serenade a 200-guest guest list at Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s star-studded wedding. Except nobody asked them. And they sure as sugarplums didn’t counter with a sky-high invoice.
According to TMZ’s exclusive, neither Gaga nor John was ever approached about performing at the extravagant canal-side celebration. No meetings, no late-night calls, no backstage whispers—nothing. Reps for the pop powerhouse and the piano legend both confirm they were never in play, let alone attached to a rumored mega-check. If there was a “fee drama,” it was only in the fevered minds of gossip mongers.
So who actually provided the wedding soundtrack? Believe it or not, it was a far more low-key lineup. Ellie Goulding reportedly ran through four or five tunes, and Matteo Bocelli—the tenor offspring of Andrea—delivered a few heartfelt numbers. That’s right, no trillion-dollar rockstars demanding private jets and gold pianos—just two artists sliding down a set list and making the newlyweds tear up.
Of course, the real show featured the guests. Orlando Bloom sipping prosecco, Tom Brady nodding in approval, Kim Kardashian and her Kardashian-Jenner clan snapping selfies, and Sydney Sweeney soaking up those historic canal views. By Sunday, the newlyweds hopped a water taxi away from Venice, waving like royal newlyweds escaping the paparazzi. People Magazine confirmed the departure, and caricatures of a “Bad Romance” wedding playlist have been officially retired.
So next time someone rolls out a six-million-dollar fee rumor, maybe double-check before you publish. I told you so. And that, dear reader, is why we can’t have nice things.
