Pop singer Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce have chosen a significant date for their wedding. Sources confirm they will wed on Saturday, June 13, 2026, at the Ocean House in Watch Hill, Rhode Island.
The date June 13 is significant to Swift, reflecting her affinity for the number 13. Born on December 13, the date represents her half-birthday, making it an exceptional choice for the 35-year-old artist. The number 13 has been a recurring theme in her career, appearing in album releases, song lyrics, and public appearances.
Swift and Kelce, 36, announced their engagement in August 2025 after Kelce proposed at his Missouri home. The engagement occurred in his backyard garden, with the couple sharing the news on social media to the delight of fans. Swift expressed her excitement during an interview with British talk show host Graham Norton, saying, “I know it’s gonna be fun to plan.”
The Ocean House venue in Rhode Island is a high-end wedding location. However, planning had extended to consider multiple venues due to the larger-than-expected guest list.
Addressing earlier rumors, Stephanie Leavitt of Ocean House denied any claims that Swift paid another couple to change their wedding date. Leavitt told TMZ, “We’d never allow one couple to buy another’s wedding date.” The venue confirmed there was no arrangement for one couple to pay another for their reserved date.
The wedding party will include notable figures from sports and entertainment. Jason Kelce, Travis’s brother, will be the best man. Swift’s bridesmaids will consist of friends Gigi Hadid and Selena Gomez. Her father, Scott Swift, will walk her down the aisle.
Additional members of the wedding party include Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany Mahomes. The couple expects approximately 300 guests, indicating a large-scale event befitting their public profiles.
In preparation for the wedding, Swift’s bridesmaids are planning three bachelorette parties. This multi-celebration approach highlights the wedding’s significance within Swift’s social circle.
Kelce’s professional timeline adds context to the wedding. He is considering retirement after the NFL season. The Chiefs currently hold a 6-10 record (as of January 1, 2026), which knocks them out of playoff contention. The regular season concludes well before the June wedding, allowing Kelce time to decide on his future.
Kelce is also recognized beyond the field, having been nominated for the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award, which recognizes excellence on and off the field. He manages his professional commitments alongside his relationship with Swift.
The wedding is expected to cost around $8 million, reflecting its elaborate nature. This budget covers the venue, catering, entertainment, and decor. Given Swift’s and Kelce’s successful careers, the budget aligns with expectations for a high-profile wedding.
As the June 13 date approaches, interest in the wedding grows. The combination of Swift’s global fanbase and Kelce’s sports prominence ensures significant attention. Representatives for both have not commented on specific wedding details.
