Welcome to New York, it’s big wedding for you.
A source tells Page Six that the save-the-dates for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding have gone out.
The news comes as a surprise. There have been several reports that the pop superstar and Kansas City Chiefs champ were eyeing Rhode Island — where Swift owns a large estate next door to a hotel — for the nuptials.
However, a source told Page Six back in November that the pair was thinking about scrapping that idea and going “‘all out’ at a totally different venue that can accommodate more attendees.”
The couple would be joining a long lists of celebs who have tied the knot here. Beyonce and Jay-Z said “I do,” in their TriBeCa apartment in 2008. Others include Hailey Baldwin and Justin Bieber, Mariah Carey and Tommy Mottola, Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick, and Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas.
July 4th is famously Swift’s favorite holiday. This year is also the celebration of America’s 250th anniversary.
Swift has close ties to the city that never sleeps.
She moved into two adjacent penthouses in TriBeCa in 2014, converting them into one large duplex. From there she has expanded to buy the townhouse next door and a 3,500-square-foot loft in the same building.
In 2014, she wrote the song “Welcome to New York,” as an ode to the city.
“Like any great love, it keeps you guessing/ Like any real love, it’s ever-changing / Like any true love, it drives you crazy / But you know you wouldn’t change anything, anything, anything,” says the lyrics.
Swift even served as New York City’s Global Welcome Ambassador for 2014–2015, with the song used to promote NYC tourism.
She rented a spot on Cornelia Street in 2016 while the Franklin Street place was being renovated. A song of the same name appeared on 2019’s “Lover Album.”
She is frequently seen in the city, going to the hottest restaurants with her famous pals.
“It’s cool to just kinda vibe around the city,” Travis said. “I think it’s one of my favorite things to do in New York, it’s just be one with the city and just kinda walk the streets and feel the electricity, feeling everybody doing their own s–t and meeting a few new people along the way.”
