It’s a Love Story! Taylor and Travis are Engaged – And This is When We Think They’ll ‘Save The Date’

September 2, 2025

It’s official: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are finally engaged! Unsurprisingly, Swifties everywhere are already in a frenzy, dreaming about the big day. While the couple has yet to reveal any of their wedding plans, speculation is running wild on every subject, from the dress to the venue. However, the most important question remains unanswered: when will the wedding take place? 

Here we weigh in on which date Travis and Taylor might pick, from astrology-inspired timing to milestone dates that hold deep personal meaning to both of them. Could they be seeking cosmic alignment, a sentimental nod to their journey, or perhaps a combination of both? 

A Quick Look Back: How Did We Get Here?

It all started in July 2023 when Kelce admitted on his podcast New Heights that he’d tried to meet Taylor after one of her Eras Tour concerts. From there, their romance unfolded like a story written for the tabloids: stadium appearances, family-friendly outings, and high-profile events that kept fans hooked.

In September 2023, Taylor was spotted at a Chiefs game alongside Travis’s mother, and by October, she returned with a host of celebrity friends, including Blake Lively, Sophie Turner, and Sabrina Carpenter. The public romance continued to grow, with Kelce returning the favour by appearing at Swift’s tour shows, and fans delighted in the playful, supportive dynamic between the pair.

The engagement itself was a fairytale moment. On August 27, 2025, Travis proposed in a garden in Lee’s Summit, Missouri. Taylor, glowing in a Ralph Lauren halter-neck dress and Cartier watch, said yes (of course!), flashing a stunning engagement ring — a round brilliant-cut diamond bezel-set in yellow gold. 

The couple shared the news on Instagram with the playful caption: “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,” sparking a global frenzy and more than 28 million likes on the post (and counting). 

An Astrology-Inspired Date: When The Stars Align

For astrology enthusiasts, a date inspired by the stars would be the perfect choice. Taylor’s Sagittarius Sun and Cancer Moon, combined with her Venus conjunct North Node in Aquarius, and Travis’s Libra Sun, mean a harmonious union is practically written in the heavens. 

Their signs share a love of intellectual connection, emotional depth, and balance, meaning astrology fans have plenty of potential “perfect” dates to choose from.

Some standout astrology-informed options for 2026 include:

Early June 2026 (June 6–12): Mercury in Gemini inspires lively conversation, Venus in Cancer nurtures warm, heartfelt vibes, and the Sun entering Gemini adds playful energy. This window promises a wedding filled with joy, laughter, and intimate connection, which is perfect for the couple’s first dance under the summer sky.

April 24, 2026 (Full Moon): Full Moons symbolise culmination, fulfilment, and heightened emotions. With such a lunar backdrop, a wedding on this date would feel incredibly charged with romance!

June 20–21, 2026 (Summer Solstice): The longest day of the year brings light, optimism, and growth: a symbolic match for Taylor’s adventurous Sagittarius energy and Travis’s desire for harmony and balance. A solstice wedding could be spectacular, tying together cosmic significance with natural beauty.

Meaningful And Symbolic Dates: Milestones That Matter

Dates that carry personal significance for the couple also make perfect candidates for the wedding. Taylor and Travis have already shared milestones that could naturally translate into a beautiful wedding date:

  • August 26, 2026: Almost exactly one year after their engagement announcement, this date celebrates their journey together in a deeply personal way — a private nod to the day their next chapter officially began.
  • December 13, 2026: Having their ceremony on Taylor’s birthday would make December 13th a dual celebration of life and love, as well as a subtle tribute to her famous favourite number 13, which has appeared in her lyrics, performances, and personal milestones for years.
  • October 5, 2026: Equally, putting the big date on Travis’s birthday would combine his own special day with the ultimate expression of love, making it meaningful for both families.
  • July 13, 2026: A playful nod to Taylor’s favourite number 13, this date mixes symbolism, superstition, and a touch of whimsy, making it a perfect reflection of her personality and the couple’s shared joy in personal meaning.

The Verdict: 2026 Looks Promising

Whether you’re guided by the alignment of the planets or by milestone dates that hold sentimental weight, both approaches point toward 2026 as the most likely year for the Swift-Kelce wedding. Will it be a June wedding under the light of a full moon, birthday celebrations, or a playful “13” date? Every option feels personal, joyful, and distinctly tailored to their love story in a different way.

While the official date remains under wraps, one thing is certain: Taylor and Travis’s wedding will be the event of the decade – if not the century! Until fans get to see the first pictures from the big day, speculation will continue. And for now, that’s part of the fun!
