Recent reports suggest that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, both aged 35, might tie the knot in Rhode Island by the end of 2026. As excitement builds around this possible wedding, fans are already speculating about the reception menu, with hopes for iconic local favorites like clam cakes and Del’s Lemonade.
According to sources from two media outlets, Swift and Kelce's wedding could take place in the picturesque Ocean State. Kelsi Karruli, a columnist for Realtor.com, has reported that the couple may exchange vows at Swift's lavish mansion located in Westerly, Rhode Island. The publication cites insider sources indicating that “the duo could wed as early as next summer” in the beautiful state of Rhode Island.
Adding to the buzz, Page Six shared that an insider confirmed, “They are getting married next summer in Rhode Island. She is in a hurry to have children.” This announcement follows the couple's viral engagement reveal on August 26, where they shared a joint Instagram post showcasing a stunning engagement ring, described humorously as being “the size of Rhode Island.” This moment came just two weeks after Kelce proposed, as noted by his father, Ed Kelce.
Rhode Island’s Governor, Dan McKee, even joined in on the excitement by retweeting a congratulatory message from the NFL, adding, “Rhode Island has some of the best wedding venues in the world, just saying.” However, no venue in Rhode Island can quite compare to Swift’s personal residence. The Grammy-winning artist purchased an 11,000-square-foot mansion in the exclusive Watch Hill area of coastal Westerly for $17.75 million in 2013, reportedly paying in cash. Known affectionately as “Holiday House,” Swift has made significant renovations to the property, with permits filed earlier this year indicating plans for $1.7 million worth of upgrades.
Local fans, or “Swifties,” are hopeful for a New England wedding. According to reports from Cosmo, the couple desires a more private ceremony, making Swift's residence an ideal choice. A source revealed, “It will definitely be a private affair and not a spectacle.” They are expected to keep the guest list small, honoring their close circle of friends while respecting their privacy.
Swift has previously utilized her Westerly home for epic private events, including star-studded Fourth of July celebrations. Guests at these gatherings have included celebrities such as Gigi Hadid, Cara Delevingne, Blake Lively, and Selena Gomez. Last summer, she also hosted Blake Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds for Lively’s birthday, showcasing the home’s allure as a gathering place for A-list friends. Notably, Bradley Cooper, Jason Kelce, and his wife Kylie, along with Patrick and Brittany Mahomes, were among the reported guests at Swift’s Rhode Island residence.
If Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce do choose to wed in Watch Hill, they wouldn’t be the first NFL couple to do so. Last summer, San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey married Rhode Island native Olivia Culpo, a model and former Miss Universe, at the historic Ocean House in Watch Hill. This trend adds to the charm and appeal of Rhode Island as a premier wedding destination for celebrities and athletes alike.
