Speculation around where Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce will tie the knot has reached a fever pitch.
The area around Swift’s beach house in Rhode Island has been buzzing with activity, and a wedding is apparently planned for this weekend at the five-star Ocean House hotel just down the street, according to TMZ.
A white tent had popped up by Friday outside of Ocean House and workers were constructing a wooden floor under the tent, the outlet reported.
A permit issued for the tent said there would be 220 guests, and it was issued for “D & G wedding,” TMZ reported, adding that there’s also a permit for a fireworks show. The couple had reportedly canceled plans for a wedding-related fireworks show there on June 13.

Trucks and SUVs were also seen parked along the street, with people carrying goody bags inside.
This comes as people have also been seen gathering at Swift’s nearby $17 million oceanfront Rhode Island home.
Video of a woman who appeared to be the singer’s best friend, Abigail Anderson Berard, holding a child on the balcony of the home was obtained by TMZ earlier this week.

The outlet added that TikTok video also showed four women on the balcony at one point, three in black and one in white.
Armed guards were also seen outside the property, according to TMZ.
Kelce was seen in Los Angeles around the same time for a guys’ night out, which reports suggested could have been a bachelor party.

Some fans had believed that the “Shake It Off” singer would get married on June 13 at the venue because the 36-year-old considers 13 to be her lucky number.
In December, Page Six reported that Swift wanted to get married there on that date so much that they allegedly paid a couple to change the date of their wedding.

However, the venue’s event planner confirmed there was a different wedding at the venue on that date and Swift and Kelce were seen on a date night in New York City that night.
The couple decided to scrap their Ocean House plans after word got out, according to TMZ.

Elsewhere, the speculation has centered around Madison Square Garden, New York City’s massive arena, which just happens to not have any events taking place on July 3, the rumored date, or several days before or after.
Earlier this month, Page Six and TMZ both reported that the pop superstar and Kansas City Chiefs tight end would get hitched at the massive New York venue, citing sources with direct knowledge of the planning.

The Garden, which doesn’t have any windows in the arena but does have underground parking, would provide security and privacy for the event and would also easily accommodate the reported approximately 1,200 guests.

Also, the mayor of New York City himself said on Monday while discussing security for the FIFA World Cup: “We know it coincides with the Knicks’ [NBA] Finals run. We know it coincides with July Fourth, America 250, Taylor Swift’s wedding — all happening at the same time — and we are so excited to welcome the world here.

Fans have also speculated that the couple could have already gotten married in secret.
The couple announced their engagement last August after they started dating in 2023.
