When Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce announced their engagement with a simple Instagram post in August 2025, it broke the internet.
And in the time since, the superstar couple have only continued to turn heads. Swift released her 15th Billboard 200 No. 1 album, The Life of a Showgirl, that October — moving a record-breaking 4 million equivalent album units in its first week — while Kelce signed on for his 14th season with the Kansas City Chiefs the following April.
So while they’ve both shared that they’re excited to plan the wedding, they’re also quite preoccupied with their work. “I’m just doing the album thing now,” Swift said in an appearance on The Graham Norton Show after Graham Norton asked if she’s already planning for the big day. “And then I think the wedding is after that.”
Members of the Tayvis camp have also kept what they may or may not know about the couple’s plans mostly quiet. Kelce’s mother, Donna Kelce, straight up refused to speak about her potential involvement with the wedding planning when approached by a photographer at LAX. “I’m just happy. I’m so happy for them,” Donna said at the time.
Swift’s future sister-in-law, Kylie Kelce (who’s married to Trav’s big brother Jason) even made a plea on her Not Gonna Lie podcast in April for people to stop asking her for wedding dirt. “Quit asking me and my mother-in-law about upcoming nuptials,” she said point-blank to the camera. “Nobody’s f—ing telling you anything.” She added: “I don’t have any details. I have no details. I have none. Look at that. That’s how many details I have. None. None.”
But while Donna and Kylie are staying hush-hush, a few people close to the duo — as well as Swift and Kelce themselves — have shared bits and pieces here and there about the nuptials. And as rumors surge that the pair will tie the knot over Fourth of July weekend, possibly at Madison Square Garden in New York City, Billboard is breaking down all the details we do have about the big day.
Here is everything we know (so far) about the Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce wedding.

Swift may want a destination wedding
During a BBC 1 Radio interview with Swift, host Greg James thanked his longtime friend for inviting him to the big day, saying that he normally is anti-destination wedding, but would make an exception for her. He went to ask the pop star where she thought she’d have the big event, to which she responded, “I’m going to let you know at a different time.”

The guest list will be long
In an October 2025 appearance on The Graham Norton Show, Swift joked that Norton “will know” after the host asked if the wedding will be happening in 2026. Swift went on to clarify that she meant she’ll be inviting Norton to the big event — as well as everyone she’s ever hung out with.
“I know it’s going to be fun to plan, because I think the only stressful weddings are the ones where you have a small amount, and people are on the bubble,” Swift explained. “And you have to evaluate or assess your relationship with them to see if they should be there. I’m not going to do that.”
She continued, “Anyone I’ve ever talked to.”

Swift and Kelce will likely hire a live band
Sorry, Mr. DJ, but this will be a live music event.
In a September episode of the Kelce brothers’ podcast New Heights, guest host Jimmy Fallon asked Travis Kelce if he and Swift have started planning the big day.
“Are you gonna do DJ or band? Are you thinking about all this stuff?” the late night TV host inquired.
Kelce responded with the couple’s preference between DJ or band, saying, “Yeah, I think we’re live music kind of people, you know?”
Though he most likely won’t be the only entertainer of the night, in an October Hits Radio interview, Swift also alluded that her close friend and collaborator Ed Sheeran might hit the stage during her wedding festivities.
“It’s like, ‘Ed, if there’s a stage, you know that you’ll be on it,” Swift said. “He knows what people want, and he wants to give people what they want.”
The couple also has an offer from Foreigner, who volunteered to play their wedding in an open letter.

They may get married by the end of the summer
Sorry to Swifties hoping for a cardigan weather wedding, but Swift and Kelce may be looking at a summer date.
In an episode of New Heights from January 2025, months before he and Swift got engaged, Kelce shared his thoughts on fall weddings, which conflict with football season.
“I actually don’t know people who have gotten married in the fall,” the Chiefs star said. “All the weddings I’ve been to, and all my friends do it in the summer.”
If they do get married this year, it will likely be well before the summer ends. Kelce announced in March that he would be returning to the Chiefs for a 14th season, in part motivated by his fiancee’s work ethic and passion for what she does. Then, ESPN’s Nate Taylor said that Kelce “plans to marry [Swift] before training camp,” which begins on July 22.
If the duo do hope to avoid a wedding that conflicts with Kelce’s football schedule, it’ll have to come sooner rather than later.

What Kelce “can’t wait” for
On an episode of New Heights, that week’s guest Rory McIlroy got Kelce excited for one element of his big day — seemingly confirming that yes, the wedding will take place in 2026. “Travis, you’ll feel this this year, whenever you’re sitting at your wedding,” the golf champion said. “It’s so amazing to have all these people in the same room from your childhood. It’s unbelievable.”
Smiling, Kelce replied simply, “I can’t wait.”
