Why Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce pivoted away from a Rhode Island wedding: report

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift reportedly decided to pivot away from holding their forthcoming wedding in Rhode Island for security reasons.

“Taylor and Travis really wanted their wedding in Rhode Island, and June 13 was the date, but security wouldn’t have worked because it could get out of hand with that kind of scale of an event,” a source told Us Weekly.

“Ocean House [in Westerly] was planned at one point, and then plans changed to New York,” the insider added.

The “Bad Blood” singer’s security “had to assess all the venues to see what made sense,” the source told the outlet.

“Rhode Island wasn’t great because the nature of the access and the perimeters were too difficult to secure,” the insider added.

“So the main issue with Rhode Island ended up being security.”

The source told Us Weekly: “Everything was being planned in Rhode Island. And so many people wanted to come that plans had to change because it became bigger.”

Page Six has reached out to both Swift and Kelce’s reps for comment but did not immediately hear back.
