Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are reconsidering their wedding plans as their guest list continues to grow beyond initial expectations, with the couple now exploring multiple venue options including a luxury Tennessee resort and private Caribbean islands.
The 35-year-old singer and 36-year-old Kansas City Chiefs tight end, who got engaged in August 2025, originally planned an intimate ceremony at Swift’s Watch Hill mansion in Rhode Island. However, as they’ve worked through their guest list, sources indicate the couple has realized they want to invite significantly more people than first anticipated.
Kelce maintains close relationships with numerous childhood friends from Cleveland, Ohio, in addition to his extensive network of NFL teammates and league connections. Swift brings her own substantial circle of music industry colleagues and longtime friends to the planning process.
Among the venues now under consideration is Blackberry Farm in Tennessee, a luxury resort that could accommodate a larger celebration. The Tennessee location holds additional significance as Swift maintains a home in Nashville.
The couple is also contemplating two separate wedding celebrations—potentially keeping the Rhode Island plans for one event while hosting a second, larger affair elsewhere. The Ocean House Hotel, located adjacent to Swift’s Rhode Island estate, may factor into these arrangements in some capacity.
For those seeking a more exotic backdrop, international options are also on the table. The couple is mulling over possibilities in the Caribbean, including Necker Island in the British Virgin Islands or another private island location in the region that could better accommodate their expanding guest count.
The wedding planning developments come as Swift prepares to premiere her six-part docuseries about the Eras Tour on Disney Plus. “The End of an Era” debuts Friday, Dec. 12, offering fans an intimate behind-the-scenes look at the record-breaking tour that captivated audiences worldwide.
In preview clips from the docuseries, Swift opened up about her relationship with Kelce, calling him “the greatest surprise of my life.” She also referenced the unconventional beginning of their romance, noting how Kelce publicly mentioned being “butthurt” after he failed to meet her during the Eras Tour stop in Kansas City in July 2023.
During that concert visit, Kelce had attempted to give Swift a friendship bracelet but was unable to connect with her. He later discussed the experience on his podcast, which ultimately caught Swift’s attention and led to their relationship.
The docuseries also features rare comments from Swift’s mother, Andrea Swift, who shared that Kelce “brings happiness” to her daughter’s life. Additional footage shows the couple sharing candid moments backstage during the tour.
Swift notably did not attend Kelce’s Thanksgiving game on Thursday when the Chiefs played the Cowboys in Arlington, Texas. The singer has maintained a lower profile at games this season, particularly at away venues, though she continues to support her fiancé’s career.
The couple’s relationship has drawn significant attention since they began dating, with Swift regularly attending home games at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City. Their romance has been well-documented both through public appearances and now through the upcoming Disney+ series.
In the docuseries footage, Swift reflected on the parallels between her career and Kelce’s, noting that they both entertain people, though she acknowledged his performances involve “considerably more violence” than hers. The couple has found common ground in understanding the demands of their respective professions, with both maintaining rigorous schedules and high-profile public personas.
Whatever venue the couple ultimately selects, their wedding promises to be one of the most anticipated celebrity events. The decision to potentially expand from an intimate Rhode Island gathering to a larger, more elaborate celebration reflects the couple’s desire to share their special day with the many important people in their lives.
As wedding plans continue to evolve, fans will get a deeper glimpse into Swift and Kelce’s relationship through the upcoming docuseries, which chronicles not just the tour but also the personal moments that unfolded during one of the most significant periods of Swift’s career and personal life.
