Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are said to be organising an unusual wedding arrangement for June, with reports suggesting the couple will hold two separate events at the singer’s Rhode Island waterfront property.
The duo got engaged last summer after three years of dating.
According to sources speaking to OK! Magazine, the pair have devised a plan involving one large, heavily guarded public celebration that would serve as a distraction, whilst a second, more intimate ceremony takes place away from media attention.
The couple are believed to be expecting approximately 150 guests, with celebrations reportedly extending across Swift’s estate and nearby upmarket venues such as the Ocean House resort.
Persistent leaks regarding guest lists and scheduling have apparently forced organisers to fundamentally reconsider their approach.
Insiders have indicated that intense media scrutiny and ongoing speculation have created genuine safety worries for the couple.
One source explained to the publication that the “strategy being discussed is to hold one large, highly visible celebration with extensive security, which effectively acts as a decoy, while a second, much smaller ceremony” remains private.
“The idea is that by putting on a big, headline-grabbing day, it draws attention away from the real, more meaningful moment she believes that will reduce the risk of stalkers or troublemakers attempting to track her movements on a second big day,” the source added.
Another insider noted that excessive information has already entered the public domain, making rigorous control absolutely essential.
Protection arrangements are reportedly comprehensive and multi-layered, with monitoring extending beyond the venue to surrounding areas and strict management of guest movements.
High-profile attendees anticipated at the celebrations include Swift’s close friends Selena Gomez, Gigi Hadid, Emma Stone, and Zoë Kravitz, alongside Kelce’s brother Jason and Kansas City Chiefs teammate Patrick Mahomes.
Speculation surrounding Swift’s wedding gown suggests she may draw inspiration from classic Hollywood glamour, with vintage silhouettes reminiscent of Elizabeth Taylor’s 1950 bridal look reportedly under consideration.
Designer Sarah Burton has been mentioned in connection with the dress, though nothing has been confirmed, and rumours persist that Swift might wear a historic jewellery piece associated with Taylor.
Those close to the couple maintain they remain focused on creating a meaningful, grounded occasion despite its scale.
Traditional family elements are expected to feature prominently, including Swift’s father escorting her down the aisle and a classical father-daughter dance.
Meanwhile, the couple have been enjoying a relaxed trip to London over the past week, making several public appearances together.

GETTYOn May 8, Swift and Kelce were photographed strolling hand in hand through the capital, both dressed in coordinating all-black ensembles.

The pair subsequently attended a West End production of Romeo & Juliet at the Harold Pinter Theatre, where Sadie Sink, Swift’s collaborator on All Too Well: The Short Film, was performing. Audience members reported the couple gave Sink a standing ovation.
They rounded off the night at Poppy Delevingne’s 40th birthday celebration at The Hart, where guests included Cara Delevingne, Lily James, and Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice.
