Swift and Kelce: 'Before training camp', wedding set for June 13 in Rhode Island
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, according to Us Weekly, plan to marry on June 13, 2026, in Rhode Island with 150 guests, before Kelce reports to training camp on July 22.
June 13, 2026. Rhode Island. 150 guests. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, according to Us Weekly as picked up by Billboard, plan a wedding the world’s media spent more than a year speculating about.
The date sits just over a month before Kelce reports to Kansas City Chiefs training camp on July 22.
Sleeping with a ball in hand
The NFL star is planning the family calendar around his season, not the other way around. ESPN’s Nate Taylor, on a podcast that drew tens of millions of listeners across the United States this spring, confirmed:
Plans to marry her before training camp. After the honeymoon, Kansas City and a new season are waiting, all of it is timed so he doesn’t miss a single training day.
The couple, engaged in August 2025, made their first major public appearance as a betrothed pair at the iHeartRadio Music Awards on March 26, 2026, walking the red carpet together.
Where the wedding will be
The wedding venue is the singer’s estate in Rhode Island. Part of the ceremony may move to a nearby resort.
Kelce’s sister-in-law, Kylie Kelce, said on her podcast Not Gonna Lie:
I’m begging everyone, literally everyone, stop asking me and my mother-in-law about the wedding. I have nothing to say, I won’t be the first to say it, thank you very much.
A signal that the Kelce family shares the Swift team’s approach to keeping details under wraps.
Economic impact on the area
The wedding has already, before guests even arrive, given a boost to nearby towns. According to a Yahoo Lifestyle piece in mid-May 2026, hotel bookings have spiked:
- in Westerly and Watch Hill, doubled compared with last year
- the first two weeks of June 2026
- confirmed by the local tourism board
A request for comment from Swift’s management and Kelce’s representatives did not arrive before publication. Consistent with the couple’s long-standing policy of not issuing official statements on private events.
How it all started
The couple publicly confirmed their relationship in September 2023, when Swift appeared at a Kansas City Chiefs game. Their bond has been tracked across every form of media since.
The engagement followed in August 2025. Before the season, just like the wedding.
What June brings for Swift and the NFL star in 2026
After the planned wedding, Kelce reports to Kansas City Chiefs training camp on July 22, 2026, with at least one more season expected.
Swift, according to Ad-hoc-news, is shifting her 2026 focus to her private life. She has indicated she will not stage a traditional world tour but rather “a selective number of appearances on special occasions”.
The pair, according to sources close to the NFL quoted by Reuters, plan to honeymoon in the Caribbean a week after the ceremony, before Kelce heads back to Kansas City for training. Swift has left the door open to a new studio album in autumn 2026, but no title or release date has been announced.
What do you expect from the wedding, an intimate ceremony or a pop-culture spectacle of epic proportions?
