Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are reportedly set to marry during the Fourth of July holiday weekend, with several major outlets claiming the couple will tie the knot in New York City after announcing their engagement in August 2025.
The singer shared the engagement news with the caption: “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.” The couple were first linked romantically in July 2023 while Swift was on her record-breaking Eras Tour, although Kelce had previously spoken about trying to get her attention before they officially began dating.
Their relationship became public after Swift attended a Kansas City Chiefs game alongside Kelce's mother. Since then, they have regularly supported one another at football games, concerts, and award shows, becoming one of the world's most talked-about celebrity couples.
While Swift and Kelce have kept their wedding plans private, multiple major outlets have reported that the ceremony is expected to take place in New York City during the holiday weekend, with reports stating it is scheduled for July 3.
According to those reports, the couple have privately secured Madison Square Garden as their venue. Speculation increased after permits were reportedly submitted for nearby street closures, hotel accommodations were reportedly reserved for NFL guests, and city officials confirmed that a large private event is scheduled to take place at the venue over the holiday weekend.
Not all of Kelce's former partners have been critical following his relationship with Swift.
Influencer Kayla Nicole dated the Chiefs star for around five years before the pair split in 2022. During an Instagram Q&A, Nicole wrote: “People are sometimes only meant to be part of your life for a season.
“Give yourself time and permission to grieve because losing a bond can be heartbreaking.”
Another former partner, Maya Benberry, who met Kelce on the 2016 reality dating series Catching Kelce, offered a much harsher opinion after news of the engagement.
Speaking with the Daily Mail, Benberry accused Kelce of being a “cheating narcissist” and said she did not believe he would change.
Addressing Swift directly, she warned: “Only time will tell, but like the saying always goes, once a cheater, always a cheater.
“Taylor seems like such a fun girl with a beautiful spirit, so I wish her the best of luck, but I wouldn’t be a girls’ girl if I didn’t advise her to be smart!”

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have announced that they are engaged.
The 35-year-old singer and the 35-year-old Kansas City Chiefs tight end shared the news on Tuesday (August 26) in a joint Instagram post, which read: “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married."
In the first picture, Kelce is shown on bended knee below Swift, who is donning a striped dress and standing under an elaborate floral arch. A later photo shows the 'Love Story' singer sporting a large ring.
The happy news follows the couple's two-year relationship, which began in July 2023, during the early months of Swift’s record-breaking Eras Tour.
At the time, the NFL star revealed on his New Heights podcast that he had tried, and failed, to pass along his phone number to Swift on a friendship bracelet, a fan-favorite accessory at her shows.
“I was disappointed that she doesn’t talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs she sings,” Kelce told his brother, Jason, on the podcast.
“If you’re up on Taylor Swift concerts, there are friendship bracelets and I had received a bunch of them, but I wanted to give Taylor Swift one with my number on it," he added.
The bold admission caught Swift’s attention, and the pair soon connected privately. By September 2023, they had made their relationship public when 'Cruel Summer' superstar artist was spotted cheering from a suite at Arrowhead Stadium as the Chiefs faced off against the Chicago Bears.
Since then, the couple has become a fixture in both sports and entertainment headlines, with Swift regularly attending Chiefs games and Kelce traveling internationally to support her tour.
Congratulations to Swift and Kelce!

Travis Kelce's ex-girlfriend also had a family announcement to make on the day that Travis and Taylor Swift announced their engagement.
Unless you've avoided social media today, you've probably seen the news that Swift and Kelce are set to get married.
The pop star and NFL tight end shared the big news on August 26 via Instagram.
The engagement, which took place in a beautiful garden setting, included photos of Kelce on one knee beneath an elaborate floral arch and a close-up of Swift’s stunning engagement ring, co-designed by Kelce himself with Kindred Lubeck of Artifex Fine Jewelry.
In addition to the heartfelt photos, Swift’s post included a subtle yet meaningful detail that added an extra layer of personal significance to the announcement.
The song 'So High School' from Swift’s Tortured Poets Department album played in the background of the post - a track with deep ties to Kelce.
The song, which features the lyric, “You know how to ball, I know Aristotle,” is a clever reference to both Kelce’s athleticism and his intellectual bond with Swift. “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,” Swift captioned the post.
It wasn't the only announcement made that day,
Kayla Nicole, who dated Kelce for five years before their 2022 breakup, recently took to Instagram to announce that her sister, Layla, will be playing for Langston University’s women’s basketball team in Oklahoma.
In her post, she shared her pride and encouraged her followers to support the team by donating to help fund the program.
“My little sister Layla just transferred to Langston University, a HBCU, where she’s suiting up for the women’s basketball team,” Nicole wrote. “They’re raising funds to support the program this season, and every dollar truly helps these women chase their dreams on and off the court.”
Despite the intense spotlight on Kelce’s relationship with Swift, which has captivated fans ever since they went public in 2023, Nicole is choosing to focus on positive family news.
She continued: “If you can, tap the link below to donate and show some love to Layla and the LU Lady Lions.”
Through no fault of her own, Nicole has experienced hate from Swift's fanbase due to her previous relationship with Kelce.
“I would be lying if I said that that level of hate and online chaos didn’t impact me, even to this day,” she said in a past interview on Angel Reese’s Unapologetically Angel podcast.
“You could go to my most recent posts, and people would be debating why I am worthless… It is nothing to do with me. I think there is something about that level of fame that attracts crazy people, which is unfortunate because I don’t think I have done anything to warrant that kind of backlash.”

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have reportedly laid down one firm rule for guests at their lavish wedding celebrations.
The pair are said to be hosting a large, multi-day event at New York City’s Madison Square Garden today (July 3), with the occasion being described as the “wedding of the century.”
Swift and Kelce, who announced their engagement in August 2025, have kept the finer details closely under wraps, but the buildup in Manhattan has sparked strong rumours that the big day is now happening.
MSG was reportedly selected because of its strong security and privacy setup. With no windows for photographers and underground VIP access points, the venue is thought to be ideal for an A-list gathering.
The main reception is expected to welcome around 1,000 to 1,200 guests, with the celebrations reportedly running until 4AM on July 4.
Though best known as a sports arena, the venue has allegedly been completely reworked for the occasion.
Trucks labelled “Garden Party” have been spotted arriving, while workers have been unloading trees, foliage, drapes, a 40-inch mirror ball and a large white staircase.
Sources say the space is being turned into an enchanted garden with royal castle touches, which may be a reference to their garden-themed engagement in August 2025.
The guest list is reportedly packed with high-profile names including Ed Sheeran, Selena Gomez, Gigi Hadid, Suki Waterhouse, Zoë Kravitz, the Haim sisters, Jason Kelce and Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid.
According to reports, the couple have asked guests not to give them wedding gifts, with the loved-up pair instead asking those invited to donate to charities close to them.
The no-gifts instruction was revealed by San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle, who said in an interview with ExtraTV that he was on the guest list and confirmed the couple had asked for no presents.
Guests are also reportedly set to enjoy performances from Stevie Nicks and Tim McGraw. The entire event is said to be operating under state-visit-level security, with costs estimated at between $3 million and $5 million.
Staff are reportedly required to sign NDAs, wear special wristbands and surrender their phones before entering.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are already married, according to reports, that is despite the couple’s marriage ceremony set for later today.
The couple are expected to host a lavish celebration at Madison Square Garden on Friday, with more than 1,000 guests in attendance, following an intimate rehearsal dinner for around 100 people the night before.
However, insiders claim the pair have already tied the knot in a private ceremony attended by only a small group of family and close friends.
One source told Page Six: "They are already married."
A music industry insider based in Nashville also claimed there's widespread speculation in the city that the pair have "already got legally married."
Neither Swift nor Kelce has publicly confirmed the reports.
Although New York marriage licenses are sealed, the publication previously reported that security sources at Manhattan's City Clerk's Office claimed there had been no sign of a marriage license issued to Swift in recent days, adding: "We would know."
Under New York law, a marriage license costs $35 and remains valid for 60 days after it's issued, with a mandatory 24-hour waiting period before a legal ceremony can take place unless a judicial waiver is granted.
Another insider suggested the couple may have quietly exchanged vows in Tennessee, where Swift relocated as a teenager to pursue her music career.
The speculation intensified after flight tracking data appeared to show Swift's private jet making several stops on Sunday in locations linked to close family members.
The aircraft reportedly departed Nashville before landing in Philadelphia, where Kelce's father, Ed, lives. Pennsylvania is also home to his brother, Jason Kelce, and sister-in-law, Kylie Kelce.
The jet then reportedly travelled to Tampa, where Swift's father, Scott Swift, lives, before returning to Nashville. It remained there until June 30, when it flew back to New York City.
Meanwhile, preparations are well underway at Madison Square Garden ahead of the couple's highly anticipated celebration. The iconic venue has reportedly been transformed with elaborate décor, including a garden installation, while performances are expected from celebrity friends including Stevie Nicks and Kenny Chesney.
Singer Ed Sheeran has also been rumoured to be performing, while Sir Paul McCartney is believed to be among the guests.
The reception is also expected to feature food from some of Swift's favourite restaurants, including Sartiano's.
Reports have also claimed that Swift and Kelce have donated $26 million to charity ahead of their wedding celebrations, though neither has publicly commented on the claim.

The biggest celebrity wedding of the 21st century is upon us, and it's said to take place at Madison Square Garden (MSG) this weekend.
Taylor Swift is set to tie the knot with NFL star Travis Kelce after three years of being together, at one of the most iconic venues in the country.
A lot has been leaked about reported details of the wedding, including NDAs for guests, and how celebrations may last for several days over the weekend.
It's widely believed that the more intimate ceremony will be held on Friday (July 3), with close friends and family, while celebrations with the 1000-or-so guests are set to take place later on in the weekend.
Details of the wedding have been widely kept under wraps, as it was even reported that the pair watermarked invites so they would know if anyone leaked information to the media.
It was also recently confirmed that Swift wouldn't change her stage name, though she would go by Taylor Kelce legally following the wedding.
On the eve of Mrs Travis Kelce's big day, names on the guest list have reportedly been made public, with some recognizable A-listers making the cut.
Kelce's brother Jason and his wife Kylie will be in attendance, while it is expected that Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his wife Brittany will also attend the wedding.
Swift's music producer Jack Antonoff and his Hollywood star wife Margaret Qualley are set to be on the list, while the likes of Sabrina Carpenter and Lana Del Rey are expected to be there.
Selena Gomez is expected to attend, after Swift was a bridesmaid at her wedding to Benny Blanco in 2025, while the Haim sisters are also expected to attend, as they were spotted sitting with Swift at the NBA Finals.
Talk show host Graham Norton is also rumored to have been invited after Swift verbally invited him when she appeared on his show last year.
But what about stars from across the pond attending Swift's big day?
Ed Sheeran
The pair have been friends for years, having collaborated on numerous songs over the years.
Despite Sheeran only finding out about their engagement on Instagram as he didn't own a phone, it looks like he'll be there for his bestie's wedding.
Swift joked that getting in contact with the 'Shape of You' singer requires an email to set up a FaceTime, and wait time so he can find an iPad to call with.
Previously speaking on Hits Radio Breakfast Show, Swift all but confirmed Sheeran's invitation after host Fleur East asked if he would be performing at her wedding.
The '22' singer replied: "It would be hard to keep him from it, I think! That’s the thing, he’s like, 'I’m always being asked to sing at weddings.' It’s like, 'Ed, if there is a stage, you know you’ll be on it.' He knows what people want, and he wants to give people what they want."
Sophie Turner
It's been reported that Swift and Turner formed a close friendship in late 2023 after Swift offered the Game of Thrones actress her New York City apartment to her and her two daughters following the actress' divorce from Joe Jonas.
Jonas also happened to be one of Swift's ex-boyfriends, but this hasn't stopped Turner from gushing over the artist's songs over the years, even publicly praising a song written about her then-husband.
Turner and Swift were seen having girls' nights out in New York during the couple's split, while also being spotted at Kansas City Chiefs games years later, according to TODAY.
Like Sabrina Carpenter, Suki Waterhouse opened for Swift during her Wembley Stadium show at the Eras Tour in 2024.
They were close for years though, as Swift once said that Waterhouse was "the wildest person I know who I would also trust to keep any secret."
Waterhouse also told Variety that she would be going to Swift's wedding, admitting that there's "nothing scarier than the actual planning part, right?"
She added in her May 2026 feature: "I’m gonna go to Taylor’s wedding, and maybe I’ll get some inspiration. It will be amazing."
Cara Delevingne
Model and actress Cara Delevingne has a close relationship with Swift, which spans over the past 12/13 years.
After modelling in the 2013 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, the pair formed a friendship, with the Brit even appearing in the star-filled Bad Blood music video in 2015.
Delevingne also claimed that she lived with Swift after a hard break-up at one point - since then, the duo have been seen together at events, often to support each other.
Dua Lipa
Dua Lipa may be fresh off her own wedding to Callum Turner in June, but it's been rumored that the New Rules artist has been invited to Swift's wedding.
The artist was recently pictured in New York, further sparking rumors about her attendance.
