When Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift announced their engagement with an Instagram post declaring “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,” the internet collectively lost its mind. Now, as the dust settles from the initial engagement euphoria, everyone’s wondering the same thing: What do we know about the U.S. version of the royal wedding?
The short answer? Almost nothing concrete. But in the age of Swift-Kelce mania, even the smallest crumbs feel like a feast.
A source close to the pair recently told People that Swift and Kelce “are not in the wedding planning phase yet” and are still very much “in celebration mode” following their August 26 engagement announcement.
On the September 3 episode of the brothers’ New Heights podcast, Jason Kelce poked fun at his younger sibling about the impending chaos that is wedding planning. “Travis, you’re about to embark on the wedding planning phase of a relationship,” he teased, to which Travis replied: “Oh, it’s gonna go crazy.”
“It’s a pretty exciting time, trying to figure out where, dates, all of these things,” Travis said, confirming that while they’re not deep in planning mode, the wheels are certainly turning.
And the fashion world is already in overdrive. Multiple designers have reached out to Swift’s camp. One fashion executive told Rob Shuter’s Substack, Naughty But Nice: “This isn’t just a dress—it’s history. Taylor’s gown will be the most important since Princess Diana’s. Whoever lands it becomes immortal.”
As for invitations, the Daily Mail reports that the couple has already “finalized several key decisions,” including a rudimentary guest list, and Swift is reportedly “torn” over the size of their wedding. Sources say the wedding will be limited to “just close friends and family.” Expected to make the cut (aside from direct family): Selena Gomez, Ashley Avignone, Zoë Kravitz, Abigail Anderson, the Haim sisters, Brittany and Patrick Mahomes, and Travis’s tight circle including Kumar Ferguson, Aric Jones, and Ross Travis.
For now, Swift and Kelce seem content to savor their engagement without the pressure of immediate planning. “I still get giddy,” Travis said on the podcast.
