Welcome to Taylor Swift wedding week. Or at least, the week that the entire world believes Taylor and Travis Kelce will finally pull off the Wedding of the Century. The reports claim that Your English Teacher and Your Gym Teacher will tie the knot on July 3, at New York’s Madison Square Garden. Ten months after Travis knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring, is this finally marry-me-Juliet time?
There hasn’t been this level of cultural obsession over a wedding in American history in a while. Taylor and Travis are major figures in the two biggest American dream factories: pop music and pro football. It’s their nuptial equivalent of the Eras Tour, so the rumor mill is buzzing full-time.
But anyone who hoped the couple would do this in a subtle or discreet way understands neither weddings nor Taylor Swift. Make no mistake, this will be the “kiss me on the porch in front of all your stupid friends” of celebrity weddings.
Normally, New York is too jaded and cool to give a second glance at such things. After all, this is everyday life in the big city. Friends break up, friends get married, strangers get born, strangers get buried. But because it’s Taylor and Travis, the rumors keep flying. Are they really getting hitched this weekend? At the Garden? Who’s invited? Who isn’t? Who will sing “Opalite”?
