Clam cakes and calamari might be on the menu at Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce‘s imminent royal wedding, as a new internet lead hints at the possibility of a Rhode Island wedding.
On an episode of the After Works Drinks podcast, hosted by Grace O’Neill and Isabelle Truman, the podcasters revealed that they had received a tip-off from one of their listeners.
“We got a DM from a girlie. I don’t know how public this knowledge is… but she sent a screenshot of a phone that said, ‘one of my friend’s friend’s is getting married at [bleeped] in Rhode Island on June 13, 2026. The venue called her and said someone is willing to buy you out of your date.
“She said No, I don’t want to switch my date. They called her back and said that [the couple] are willing to pay for their whole wedding and honeymoon to have this date. So they said yes. They think it might be Taylor Swift. June 13 is the only 13th that falls on a Saturday, and it’s near Taylor’s house in Rhode Island. 13 is Taylor’s lucky number,” revealed Truman.
It’s a solid theory, especially given Swift’s connection to Newport. In 2013, Swift purchased a house in Rhode Island, known as High Watch (formerly “Holiday House”), for $17.75 million.
The 11,000-square-foot mansion that inspired “The Last Great American Dynasty” from her Folklore album sprawls across approximately 2.116 hectares, offering sweeping waterfront views that feel straight out of a fairytale. It’s easy to imagine it as the ultimate backdrop for a wedding, with its grandeur and storybook setting. And given that Swift has already welcomed A-list friends for her legendary Fourth of July parties here, it feels like the perfect location for them to tie the knot.
While O’Neill and Truman did not disclose the exact location of the property, they did hint at a few key details.
“I’ve just looked it up. It’s exactly what I imagined their wedding venue would look like. Very grand, yet distinctly American. It’s huge,” says O’Neill.
One venue that fits the bill is The Breakers property in Newport, Rhode Island. Built between 1893 and 1895 for Cornelius Vanderbilt II, the property stands as the crown jewel among Newport’s “summer cottages”—a sweeping example of Gilded Age excess and architectural ambition.
Today, the palatial estate, styled in brick with Indiana limestone facades and complete with ornate interiors, holds National Historic Landmark status and attracts visitors who marvel at its grand scale and rich historical legacy.
Other contenders that have been cited by news outlets include Rosecliff Mansion in Newport, Belcourt of Newport and Aldrich Mansion in Warwick.
For now, nothing has been confirmed. But if there’s one thing we know about Swift, it’s that you can never predict her next move. Meaning she has more than likely planted a few decoy wedding venues to throw us off the scent.
Until then, we will patiently wait for our invitation.
