Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding plans appear to be taking a dramatic turn as the couple considers expanding their vision for what was initially expected to be a more intimate celebration. After getting engaged in August following two years of dating, the 35-year-old pop superstar and the 36-year-old Kansas City Chiefs tight end are now reportedly planning a multi-day wedding celebration that could accommodate around 300 guests.
According to multiple reports, the couple is eyeing Swift’s Rhode Island mansion as a venue for their nuptials, with plans for a three-day wedding weekend celebration. The lavish property has previously hosted the singer’s famous Fourth of July parties and other star-studded gatherings, making it a meaningful location for the couple’s special day. Sources also indicate the couple is considering a private island as a potential wedding location.
However, Rhode Island isn’t the only location under consideration. The couple is also exploring Tennessee as a potential wedding destination, with specific venues including the Blackberry Farm reportedly being discussed. Sources indicate Swift is planning to create a new garden on-site featuring her favorite flowers, including roses and peonies.
The wedding planning process has become a collaborative effort involving Swift’s close circle of friends and family. Her bridesmaids, who reportedly include Selena Gomez and Gigi Hadid, have been heavily involved in organizing not just the wedding but also multiple bachelorette celebrations. According to insiders, the bridal party has planned at least three or four girls’ trips to various locations, including Nashville, New York City, Italy, and the Bahamas.
“The goal is to have fun, spend weekends together, and enjoy the process while also working on the planning in beautiful locations where they can relax, celebrate, and bond,” a source told The U.S. Sun. The bachelorette getaways are expected to take place in the coming months.
Both families have been actively participating in the wedding preparations. Swift’s mother Andrea and Kelce’s mother Donna have been in frequent contact with the bridesmaids over the past several weeks, communicating through phone calls, texts, FaceTime, and Zoom sessions. The involvement of both families reflects the couple’s strong commitment to maintaining close family ties throughout their relationship.
Gomez is particularly enthusiastic about bringing her own experience to help make Swift’s celebration memorable. The bridesmaids have been meeting regularly, both virtually and in person, with planned gatherings in New York and Nashville, where Swift will host them to ensure all details are perfectly executed.
The couple’s engagement was foreshadowed during their first Thanksgiving together in November 2024, when they celebrated in Nashville with both their families present. Travis proposed in the backyard of his home, and the couple got engaged in August. The wedding is tentatively planned for next summer.
The expanded guest list represents a shift from earlier reports suggesting a smaller, more private ceremony. The couple reportedly realized they wanted to include Travis’s teammates, childhood friends, and Swift’s extensive network of music industry colleagues in their celebration. This decision to embrace a larger gathering aligns with Swift’s known preference for not wanting to miss anyone she cares about on such an important occasion.
Meanwhile, Swift’s friendship with Ed Sheeran continues to make headlines. The British singer-songwriter recently revealed he had a four-hour conversation with Swift following her engagement. Sheeran, who learned about the engagement via Instagram, emphasized their enduring friendship despite speculation about potential tensions after album release timing controversies.
As the couple balances Kelce’s demanding NFL schedule with wedding preparations, they continue to prioritize family time and maintain normalcy in their relationship. With multiple celebrations planned across various locations and a star-studded guest list expected, Swift and Kelce’s wedding promises to be one of the most anticipated celebrity events of next summer.
