Travis Kelce confirmed that wedding planning with Taylor Swift is underway and said the couple have already settled on live music instead of a DJ.
Kelce discussed the plans during an appearance on the New Heights podcast with guest Jimmy Fallon, saying the next step for the pair will be organising the wedding even as he tries to get the Kansas City Chiefs back on track. He characterized the ceremony as a simpler task than improving his on-field performance and said the couple are “live music kind of people.”
Few concrete details about the wedding have been made public. Kelce and Swift announced their engagement in a widely viewed Instagram post after he proposed in the garden of his Missouri home earlier this summer. In her post, Swift wrote, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,” a message that drew tens of millions of likes.
Public discussion has included speculation about potential timing and location, with some reports suggesting a summer 2026 celebration in Rhode Island; those reports remain unconfirmed. Kelce did not provide a date on the podcast. He also did not say whether Swift would perform at the ceremony or which artists might be invited to sing.
The couple’s engagement comes as Swift prepares for the release of her new album, The Life of a Showgirl, on Oct. 3. Kelce, meanwhile, has faced scrutiny on the field after an early-season drop contributed to the Chiefs’ 0-2 start. Media commentary about his recent play has been pointed, and the team faces the New York Giants this weekend in a game with both clubs seeking their first win.
Swift has made occasional public appearances at Kelce’s games this season, including an outing at Arrowhead Stadium in which she arrived behind a screen and did not sit in her usual VIP suite. Beyond those moments, the couple have kept most wedding planning details private.
Interest in the pair’s nuptials extends beyond sports and music coverage given Swift’s global profile and Kelce’s prominence in the NFL. When and where the wedding will take place, and who will provide live music, are among the remaining details the public awaits as planning continues.
