Rhode Island Lawmaker: Swift–Kelce Wedding Would Be a Major Economic Win
Westerly, RI — Rumors surrounding the potential wedding of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have sparked excitement in Rhode Island, where many locals — including state leaders — are openly hoping the couple will choose the Ocean State as their wedding destination.
State Representative Sees Big Economic Opportunity
Rhode Island State Representative Brian Patrick Kennedy shared his thoughts on the possibility, noting that a star-studded event featuring the global pop icon and the NFL superstar could be a huge boost for the state’s economy.
“Having Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce tie the knot here would bring incredible business opportunities,” Kennedy explained, pointing out how their celebrity guests would likely spend on luxury housing, restaurants, entertainment, and local attractions.
Why Rhode Island Could Be the Perfect Venue
Swift already owns a sprawling estate in Watch Hill, Westerly—a property that has been central to her summers and music lore. If the couple decides to host the wedding there, Kennedy believes the event would not only be a one-day celebration but also bring long-term tourism growth to the area.
“People would want to visit just because Taylor Swift got married here,” Kennedy said. “It could put Rhode Island back in the spotlight in a way we’ve never seen.”
A Taste of Rhode Island on the Wedding Menu?
Representative Kennedy also suggested that Swift and Kelce could give guests a true Ocean State experience by showcasing local delicacies. He mentioned:
Del’s Lemonade – a summertime favorite
Coffee Milk – the official state drink
Rhode Island Clam Chowder – a clear-broth version distinct from New England clam chowder
Highlighting regional cuisine, Kennedy noted, could shine a light on Rhode Island’s unique culinary culture to millions of fans following the couple’s wedding news.
Taylor Swift’s Relationship With Rhode Island
While Taylor Swift is praised as a responsible property owner who regularly pays her taxes, Kennedy admitted he has never personally seen her around town. Still, her Watch Hill mansion remains one of Rhode Island’s most famous celebrity homes, fueling speculation that it could serve as the backdrop for what may be one of the biggest weddings of the decade.
Will the Wedding Happen in Rhode Island?
At this stage, neither Swift nor Kelce has confirmed where or when they plan to wed. But if Rhode Island is chosen, it could easily become one of the most talked-about celebrity events in history—bringing with it tourism, business growth, and global attention.
For now, locals and fans alike are left wondering: Will Taylor Swift begin her “Mrs. Era” in Rhode Island? Only time will tell.
