Welcome to New York, it’s your big wedding.
Sources tell Page Six that the shelf life of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding has expired.
And the big day is set for July 3 in the Big Apple.
The news came as a surprise, as there were several reports that the pop superstar and Kansas City Chiefs champion were eyeing a wedding in Rhode Island, where Swift owns a large property next to a hotel.
However, a source told Page Six in November that the pair were considering scrapping that idea and going “all in” with an entirely different venue that could accommodate more attendees.
The couple joins a long list of celebrities who have married here.
Beyoncé and Jay-Z said “I think so” in their Tribeca apartment in 2008.
Others include Hailey and Justin Bieber, Mariah Carey and Tommy Mottola, Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas, and more.
The 4th of July is famously known as Swift’s favorite holiday. This year also marks the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States.
Swift is closely associated with the city that never sleeps.
She moved into two adjoining penthouses in Tribeca in 2014 and converted them into one large duplex. From there, she expanded further, purchasing a 3,500-square-foot loft in the same building as the townhouse next door.
In 2014, she wrote the song “Welcome to New York” as an ode to New York.
“Like any great love, it keeps you guessing/Like any true love, it always changes/Like any true love, it drives you crazy/But you know nothing, nothing, nothing can change,” she sings.
Swift served as New York City’s Global Welcome Ambassador from 2014 to 2015, and the song was used to promote New York City tourism.
She rented space on Cornelia Street in 2016 while her Franklin Street store was being renovated. The song of the same name is included in the 2019 album “Lover”.
She is often seen around town, going to the most talked about restaurants with her famous friends.
Kelce also seems to be a fan of Empire City.
“It’s cool to just get a feel for the city,” he said. “I think that’s one of my favorite things about New York. Just being one with the city, just walking down the streets and feeling the electricity, feeling everyone doing their best, and meeting some new people along the way.”
