Taylor Swift is reportedly diving headfirst into wedding preparations with her fiancé, Travis Kelce, and sources say she's enlisting the help of some of her closest friends. According to recent reports, the pop superstar has tapped Selena Gomez for wedding advice and has asked Gigi Hadid to be one of her bridesmaids.
With Selena Gomez having recently tied the knot with Benny Blanco in September, Swift is said to be seeking her guidance on various aspects of wedding planning. Sources indicate that Swift is particularly interested in Gomez's insights on elements such as food, flowers, and overall organization. Swift wants to be hands-on in the planning process and intends to personally involve her bridal party in the preparations.
"[Taylor] wants to start the wedding process this way – building her bridesmaid group and getting everyone involved in the preparations, celebrations, and planning," an insider revealed to The U.S. Sun. "She wants it to be fun and memorable for everyone, with parties, trips, and time spent together leading up to the big day".
Gigi Hadid, a long-time friend of Swift, was reportedly asked to be a bridesmaid during a dinner in New York City. Sources say Hadid was "thrilled" and "wasn't expecting" the invitation, and she immediately accepted. The two have been friends for over a decade, having been first photographed together in March 2014 at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party.
Swift's choice of bridesmaids reflects the importance of her close friendships. Inviting Gomez and Hadid to be part of her bridal party underscores the significance of their bond and the roles they play in her life.
The wedding is anticipated to be a star-studded affair, with speculation surrounding other potential members of the bridal party. Swift's recent outings with friends like Ashley Avignone and Sabrina Carpenter have fueled rumors that more bridesmaid invitations may be on the way. However, there are no confirmations of this. It is believed that Kim Kardashian will not be a part of the bridal party.
While the exact date and venue remain under wraps, reports suggest the wedding may take place in the summer of 2026. There have also been rumors about a potential venue, with fans speculating that Swift and Kelce might tie the knot at Swift's $17 million Rhode Island estate. It was reported that another couple who booked an exclusive venue in Rhode Island had been asked to reschedule their nuptials and give up June 13, 2026. The mystery third party offered to pay for the couple's entire wedding, which costs at least $150,000, and also proposed to fund the couple's honeymoon to an exotic destination. The venue in question is the exclusive Breakers in Newport.
Swift and Kelce's engagement was announced in August, with the couple sharing the happy news on Instagram. "Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married," Swift wrote in the caption. The couple's relationship began in July 2023, after Kelce attended one of Swift's "Eras Tour" shows in Kansas City.
