Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce ‘Already Got Legally Married,’ Sources Tell Page Six

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are “already married,” Page Six reported Thursday, citing multiple sources who said the superstar couple already tied the knot in advance of the celebration they have planned at Madison Square Garden Friday.

Kelce and Swift, both 36, got engaged last August after two years of dating. Their relationship famously began after the Kansas City Chiefs tight end publicly declared on the New Heights podcast he shares with his brother Jason Kelce that he was “a little butthurt” he had been unable to meet Swift when her Eras Tour stopped in Kansas City, despite making her a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it.

That kicked off many appearances by Swift at Kelce’s games (including watching the victorious Chiefs at Super Bowl LVIII), appearances by Kelce at Swift’s globe-spanning Eras tour (including a memorable surprise guest appearance by Kelce during The Tortured Poets Department part of the show), and notable references to Kelce in songs on Swift’s last two albums.

New York City has been abuzz as preparations for the wedding have been ongoing for the past few weeks, with the couple renting out the entire Madison Square Garden and closing off surrounding streets to ensure privacy and security for the estimated 1,000 family and friends — including many other A-listers — who will be in attendance.

But according to a report by Page Six Thursday, Friday’s soirée will just be to celebrate a marriage that is already official.

Citing “multiple sources,” the article reports “the couple have already exchanged vows in front of a tiny group of loved ones”:

“They are already married,” one source in the know insisted.

A well-placed music insider based in Nashville said the city is abuzz that the couple, both 36, “already got legally married.”

The Page Six report also cited “security insiders at Manhattan’s’ City Clerk’s Office,” the government agency responsible for issuing city wedding licenses, who said that no application for a Swift-Kelce license had been submitted. “We would know,” the sources said.

The article further noted that a website that tracks Swift’s private jet reported it “made a series of intriguing stops on Sunday in cities where the couple’s closest family members live,” lending credence to another source who “said there were rumors the small ceremony recently took place in Tennessee,” where Swift’s family moved when she was a teenager to launch her music career:

After departing Nashville, the jet landed in Philadelphia, where Kelce’s father, Ed, lives. Pennsylvania also happens to be home to Kelce’s older brother Jason and his wife Kylie. It then flew to Tampa, where Swift’s father, Scott, resides, before returning to Nashville. The aircraft remained there until June 30, when it headed back to New York City.

According to Page Six, the wedding celebration plans include a rehearsal dinner for 100 people on Thursday and “a huge party for more than 1,000 friends and family at MSG on Friday.”

Stevie Nicks and Kenny Chesney, both friends of Swift’s who supported her early in her career, will be performing, Page Six reported, plus “good pal Ed Sheeran is also rumored as a performer, and Paul McCartney is believed to be attending.”

Swift’s record-shattering Eras Tour made her a billionaire, allowing her to buy back the master recordings for her first six albums, and the couple is worth an estimated $2.8 billion, according to various news reports. She made generous donations to food banks and other charities in each city her tour visited, and she and Kelce are continuing that tradition in advance of their wedding, donating $26 million to multiple charities, confirmed by representatives for the lucky nonprofits like food banks, educational organizations, hospitals, and children’s charities in the various cities they’ve called home.

Beneficiaries included Feeding America, the ASPCA, Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, Grammy in the Schools, City Harvest Food Rescue Center, Food Bank for NYC, New York Cares, Education Through Music, Answer the Call, Musical Mentors Collaborative and After-School All-Stars New York, Hassenfeld Children’s Hospital at NYU Langone, MSK Kids for Child & Teen Cancer Patients at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Children & Teen and Adolescents & Young Adult (AYA) programs at Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, The Community Food Network  in Kansas City, After-School All-Stars Cleveland, Los Angeles Regional Food Bank, the Rhode Island Community Food Bank, The Store in Nashville, and Helping Harvest in Reading, Pennsylvania.
