Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce could tie the knot in Rhode Island, a source tells Page Six.
While some publications have said the pair are in no rush to wed, our insider tells us “They are getting married next summer in Rhode Island. She is in a hurry to have children.”
While a wedding this high-profile can draw gripes from locals (see Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s Venice nuptials), Rhode Island Gov. Dan McKee is rooting for the pair choose his state for their nuptials.
“Rhode Island has some of the best wedding venues in the world, just saying,” McKee said on a repost of the couple’s wedding announcement on social media last week.

Swift’s mansion in the town of Westerly’s Watch Hill area is currently undergoing a $1.7 million renovation according to a building permit obtained by the Providence Journal.
Updates will include a new wing with a 16-by-24 feet bedroom and more bathrooms, and an update to the kitchen.
Swift purchased the home in 2013 for $17.5 million, and it already includes 8 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms and 5.23 acres with gardens and a swimming pool.
The manse became famous for Swift’s star-studded Fourth of July parties. And last August, Kelce and his Kansas City Chiefs teammate Patrick Mahomes were spotted at one of her pool bashes.
Swift even immortalized the estate in her hit, “The Last Great American Dynasty,” off the 2020 album “Folklore.”
The lyrics tell the tale of the mansion’s former owner, Rebekah Harkness, the scandalous socialite who wed Standard Oil heir William Hale Harkness in 1947 and used to fill the pool with champagne.
It is unclear whether the wedding would take place at her home or a venue in the area.
(In June, a so-called “Taylor Swift Tax” was passed in the state, charging non-primary residents $2.50 for every $500 of assessed property value above $1 million.)
Page Six previously reported the couple plan to have a “private” ceremony with family and close friends.
“It will be more casual than people think,” a source told us.
The Grammy-winning singer and the Super Bowl champ announced their engagement on Aug. 26 with a series of photos taken in his garden with the caption, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.”
