Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Are Taking ‘Natural’ Approach to Wedding Plans and Refuse To Feel ‘Rushed’—Amid Furious Speculation Over Venue

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are said to be treating their wedding planning process as a "partnership," working together to ensure that they both get everything they want out of their special day—which they are refusing to "rush" into.

The singer and her NFL star fiancé, both 36, have been surrounded by speculation about their nuptials since they announced their engagement in August.

Some have claimed that Swift was desperate to tie the knot as soon as possible because she was in a "hurry" to have children, while others have suggested that the couple has paid off multiple couples in a bid to secure their dream wedding venue near the singer's vacation home in Rhode Island.

However, an insider has now attempted to quell any suggestion that Swift and Kelce are rushing into their big day, telling People that they are taking things day by day, while working in tandem to come up with the best possible arrangements.

"When it comes to wedding planning, nothing feels rushed or one-sided,” the source said. "They’re both equally involved and excited, and this isn’t something one or the other is carrying on their own. They’re approaching it as a partnership, talking things through together and enjoying the process in a way that feels natural to them."

The update on their wedding planning comes just weeks after Page Six reported that Swift and Kelce are planning to wed on Saturday, June 13, 2026, at the Ocean House resort in Westerly, RI, having allegedly offered a very hefty sum to encourage a couple who had already booked the venue for that date to change their plans.

It had initially been claimed that the duo had pulled a similar tactic with another potential venue—a Gilded Age mansion known as The Breakers—however they are understood to have pivoted their plans after realizing they wanted to invite more guests than they had initially planned for—pushing the total number of invitees to more than their previously chosen location could accommodate.

Luckily, Ocean House has ample room for the couple and their many celebrity guests—with reports suggesting that everyone from Selena Gomez and Gigi Hadid to Patrick Mahomes and Cara Delevingne will attend.

The iconic property comes complete with 49 guest rooms, 20 suites, a slew of private terraces, private pools, hot tubs, and more.

There is also a private white-sand beach that offers surfing, kayaking, and other water activities.

The reports of a new location come after rumors circulated on social media that Swift and Kelce had paid another engaged couple to give up their June 13 booking at The Breakers mansion just a few miles away.

"An East Coast woman was planning on getting married somewhere this coming summer, right?" podcast host Fiona Shea recounted in a recent video. "She was reached out to by the establishment where she's having her wedding and they said, 'Hey, would you be willing to actually change the date of your wedding?'

"She said, 'F--k no.' And they said, 'This client is willing to pay for your wedding and honeymoon if you change the date of your wedding, because she needs this.' And this is allegedly Taylor Swift."

June 13 is a day that would likely hold particular significance for Swift, who was born on Dec. 13 and has always considered the date her lucky number.

Meanwhile, the original rumored venue, the iconic Breakers mansion in Newport, RI, also holds sentimental value for the pop star who owns a historic Rhode Island abode that she has long used as a sanctuary when she needs to escape the furious scrutiny brought on by her global fame.

Indeed, the property holds such a special place in her heart that it was quickly assumed she and Kelce would tie the knot in close proximity to the Watch Hill home, if not at the dwelling itself.

The Breakers features soaring 50-foot ceilings, Italian-style gardens, and Baccarat crystal chandeliers so heavy they had to be hung from steel beams. And that's just the start of the lavish wonders within the historic dwelling.

The 70-room mansion dates back to 1895, when it was built for business magnate Cornelius Vanderbilt II, who was one of the most prominent members of high society during that era.

The home features the finest American and European craftsmanship, views of the sea, and modern technology, all combined to create the ideal setting for "luxurious living and entertaining."

The mansion was built in the two-year span from 1893 to 1895 to replace a smaller, wooden house that had been destroyed by a devastating fire.

Preservation Society of Newport County spokesperson Gary Ruff has vehemently denied speculation that Swift and Kelce have chosen The Breakers as their venue, saying in a statement: "Taylor Swift is not getting married at The Breakers, or any other property the society runs."

It was previously revealed that the couple was in a "hurry" to tie the knot and have children.

“They are getting married next summer in Rhode Island. She is in a hurry to have children," a source previously told Page Six.

It comes as no surprise that Swift and Kelce may tie the knot in Rhode Island, where the chart-topper certainly has plenty of experience hosting her A-list friends at her abode, having held a now-famous Fourth of July gathering at the property for years.

The summertime holiday has become synonymous with Swift's iconic celebrity gatherings at her dwelling in Rhode Island, where guests have included Hadid, Gomez, Delevingne, and Blake Lively.

Beginning in 2013, the year that she purchased her Watch Hill house for $17.75 million, Swift has gathered some of her nearest and dearest at the property to mark the patriotic holiday in true celebrity style.

Though she has taken a few years off from her hosting duties—namely when she dated British actor Joe Alwyn from 2017 until 2023—the singer's parties have become one of Hollywood's most talked-about A-list gatherings.

The residence—which is located in the exclusive enclave of Watch Hill in Westerly and is known locally as "Holiday House"—currently sprawls across 11,000 square feet and features seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms.

However, it was revealed at the start of the year that Swift was carrying out some extensive renovations that will see the property outfitted with an additional bedroom, while one of the existing rooms will be turned into an "enlarged bedroom suite," according to the planning application.

In total, the project will add 400 square feet to the property.
