The Opalite singer and NFL star have since confirmed that they are planning a “big wedding”, with Selena Gomez, Gigi Hadid, Ed Sheeran and even the Prince and Princess of Wales predicted to receive an invitation. And with the star-studded nuptials being highly-anticipated, fans and followers have been obsessing over every detail, from the rumoured location and wedding date to the A-list bridesmaid party and guest list.
However, it was a surprise update that got the world talking this weekend, as Swift and Kelce were reported to be slowing down their wedding plans. And according to sources, the reasons are three-fold, with the couple keen to prioritise their relationship, their stratospheric careers and attention to detail around their big day.
“They're not even halfway through the guest list,” a source reported to Rob Shuter's #Shuterscoop, while discussing their approach to wedding planning. “Right now it's more about enjoying time together than crunching spreadsheets.”
Not to mention, the current focus on Kelce’s career, with the 36-year-old Kansas City Chiefs player contemplating his future plans in the National Football League.
“Travis is still figuring out if he's playing next year,” the source reported, adding: "They don't want to stress over a wedding when there's so much else going on."

"Taylor is usually so meticulous about every detail, but with Travis, she's relaxed,” the source continued, noting that planning the wedding of the decade takes time and can’t be rushed. “They're taking it slow,” another insider added. “The wedding isn't stressing them out yet — they're savoring the engagement.”
“The ring's on, but that's about as far as it goes," another source noted. “No big meetings, no seating charts. They're in date-night mode, not wedding mode.”
Neither Taylor Swift nor Travis Kelce have commented on the reports, but we will continue to update this story.
