Inside Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding plans in Rhode Island: Don’t expect a royal wedding
Travis Kelce, along with insiders, revealed some details on he and Taylor Swift’s upcoming wedding, and it’s said to be “more low key” than you’d think.
It’s been about three weeks since Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce confirmed their engagement, and the buzz over their upcoming wedding is already in full swing.
On the latest episode of “New Heights”, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end told guest star Jimmy Fallon that planning the couple’s nuptials will be “easy” compared to catching footballs on Sundays. While Kelce didn’t reveal many specifics, he confirmed that wedding planning is the couple’s “next step”, though it won’t happen until after the NFL season.
“We’re live music kind of people,” Kelce added when Fallon asked whether he and Swift would hire a DJ, hinting at a celebration that reflects their shared love of performance.
Kelce and Swift’s Rhode Island wedding plans taking shape
Behind the lighthearted jokes, insiders say Swift and Kelce aren’t wasting time. According to Page Six, the wedding is expected to take place next summer in Rhode Island, where Swift owns her famous $17 million Watch Hill mansion.
The property, immortalized in Swift’s song “The Last Great American Dynasty”, is currently undergoing renovations, including expanded bedrooms, bathrooms, and a new kitchen. That’s fueled speculation that Swift could host a private, low-key ceremony right at home.
Local officials are already leaning into the possibility. Rhode Island Governor Dan McKee recently tweeted that the state “has some of the best wedding venues in the world,” making a public pitch to host the star-studded event.

Private, not royal
Despite the global spotlight on Swift and Kelce, insiders emphasize that the couple wants to keep things “private” and “more casual than people think.” Still, with Swift’s A-list friends - from Blake Lively to Patrick Mahomes - expected on the guest list, even a “low-key” wedding is likely to draw massive attention.
Swift, who turns 36 next year, is reportedly eager to move forward quickly, with sources saying she wants to start a family soon after the wedding.
