As soon as Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce announced their engagement, speculation about where the wedding festivities would take place began. Many thought Swift would choose the 13th of June, a nod to her favorite number, and lots of fans suggested Rhode Island, the location of Swift’s holiday house, as the venue.

There was even a rumor going around that Swift actually paid for a different bride and groom’s wedding, so long as they gave up their wedding date at Ocean House, a resort in Rhode Island where she reportedly wanted to host her nuptials. However, according to recent reports, the Rhode Island plan has been scrapped due to privacy concerns.

Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce Scrap Rhode Island Wedding Plans

Ocean House, a grand hotel on the bluff of the Watch Hill peninsula near Swift's Rhode Island home, is in fact hosting a wedding this weekend, but it isn't Taylor Swift's. Elizabeth Hall, a wedding planner, actually spoke out to say that she is hosting a wedding at Ocean House this weekend and to steer clear, as it isn't Swift and Kelce's. "Taylor Swift is not getting married at the Ocean House this weekend," Hall said. "We do have a wonderful couple getting married there, and they’re very excited, but it is not Taylor and Travis’s wedding."

According to TMZ, the plans for a mid-June wedding at Ocean House have been scrapped due to privacy issues. Between the assumptions about the date and the speculation around the location, it was too risky from a security standpoint to host their wedding. Where and when the wedding will be now is up in the air—unless it's already happened!

13 is Swift's longstanding lucky number, so the rumors that she paid another bride for her wedding date at Ocean House aren't hard to believe. Several outlets initially claimed the "Love Story" singer wrote a huge check to persuade the woman to move her wedding.

However, Stephanie Leavitt, area director of sales and marketing for the Ocean House, reportedly told TMZ that their policy "would not and is not allowing another party or entity to buy a wedding group out of a contracted wedding date." Who knows which rumors are true?
