The Reason Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Couldn’t Have Their Wedding in Rhode Island

Remember back in the days of yore when everyone thought Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were getting married in Rhode Island on June 13? Well, that date has come and gone with nary a wedding to be found, and it looks like Tay and Travis are instead getting married on July 3 in New York City’s Madison Square Garden. But apparently Rhode Island was their dream location, and it simply didn’t work out.

“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,” an insider tells Us Weekly. “Ocean House [in Westerly] was planned at one point, and then plans changed to New York.”

Tay’s security “had to assess all the venues to see what made sense” and “Rhode Island wasn’t great because the nature of the access and the perimeters were too difficult to secure. So the main issue with Rhode Island ended up being security.”

Another source adds, “Everything was being planned in Rhode Island. And so many people wanted to come that plans had to change because it became bigger.”

Meanwhile, MSG ended up being the perfect location. Despite being right in the middle of New York City, it’s windowless (which means no paps), guests can enter through underground parking for maximum security, and streets can be closed off.
