Thanks to NDAs and a buttoned-up inner circle, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding plans<\/a> are under tighter wraps than a surprise album drop.<\/p>\n

Maybe it’ll happen on July 3 (that’s looking likely after the Associated Press obtained a permit<\/a>\u00a0detailing the event’s schedule). Maybe at Madison Square Garden<\/a>. Maybe celebrity event planner Mark Seed is involved. Maybe Blake Lively has been left off the guest list<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Maybe none of the above is true.<\/p>\n

Whatever “Tayvis” has planned, the public isn’t in on it. So while Swifties continue searching for wedding Easter eggs, we decided to take a different approach.<\/p>\n

We asked a panel of kids, ranging in age from 6 to 11, to predict all the elements of Swift’s dream wedding \u2014 from the menu and first-dance song to the budget and honeymoon destination.<\/p>\n

We also asked them to sketch the wedding dress they think Swift should wear, with results ranging from “hire her immediately” to a half-baked idea abandoned for a playdate.<\/p>\n

The kids may have agreed to do it in hopes of scoring an invite to the wedding of the decade. Taylor, if you’re reading this instead of, say, finalizing seating charts or the live performers, we have their contact information. They’ll arrive armed with friendship bracelets, concert tees and flower-girl ambition.<\/p>\n

Spoiler: The kids really want Taylor’s cats at the wedding, couldn’t agree on whether Travis is “the one” and proposed a wedding budget ranging from $200 to “a billion thousand dollars.”<\/p>\n

Here’s what our young wedding planners came up with.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udc70 Nine Swifties. Eight dresses.<\/strong><\/p>\n

One kid submitted a sketch and skipped the interview. Another answered every question but never found time to draw.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Avery, 11, loves to draw like nobody’s business and was recently told she looked like a young Taylor Swift at her fifth grade dance.<\/p>\n

Essential features: “Strapless, sparkle and a train.”<\/p>\n

Avery’s vision for Taylor’s dress is an icy blue-and-white strapless gown with a sweetheart neckline, subtle sparkle and a dramatic train.<\/p>\n

Everleigh, 6, has already seen Swift in concert \u2014 though she slept through all of Folklore.<\/p>\n

Essentials: “Flowers, pearls, butterflies. A short dress.”<\/p>\n

Rachel, 11, is a lifelong Swiftie who dreams of following in her idol’s footsteps. When she’s not at dance or music class, she’s writing songs and belting them out at home.<\/p>\n

Essentials: “Frills. Taylor is lighthearted and fun and I think that frilly, fluffy dresses show that.”<\/p>\n

Rachel’s dress is a lavender haze with a corseted bodice and cascading floral details.<\/p>\n

Jolie, 7, loves Taylor Swift and may have picked up a thing or two from her entertainment-reporter mom, including the value of a good celebrity decoy.<\/p>\n

Ella, 9, may have a future as a celebrity matchmaker as she isn’t sold on Travis being “the one” for Taylor. She skipped the dress-design portion of the assignment and went straight to the opinions.<\/p>\n

Essentials: “Flowers and pearls \u2014 and a veil.”<\/p>\n

Lydia, 6, believes in love and Taylor, but not my silly questions. She drew the dress and left the questions a blank space, baby.<\/p>\n

Lydia kept it classic: a long gown, flowing veil and a row of oversize flowers along the hem.<\/p>\n

Gigi, 11, is a theater kid who’s been singing “Shake It Off” since nursery school dance parties \u2014 and loves cats every bit as much as Taylor does.<\/p>\n

Essentials: “Butterflies, flowers and definitely glass slippers. She should also wear hidden Chiefs merch \u2014 like a bracelet with his number (87).”<\/p>\n

Charlotte, 7, loves Taylor Swift, sparkles and the idea of giving every wedding guest a puppy.<\/p>\n

Essentials: “Sparkles, pearls, sequins and little gold stars.”<\/p>\n

Lucy, 10, saw Taylor in concert and predicted weeks ahead of time that “The Best Day” would be the surprise song.<\/p>\n

Essentials: “Long and flowy, with gradient shimmery ruffles. Plus, pearls and white cowboy boots!”<\/p>\n

(Courtesy of Lucy)\ud83d\udc98 Why do you think people get married?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s all about love, friendship and smooching.<\/p>\n

“Because people want to have friends. And people like kissing.” \u2014 Charlotte, 7<\/p>\n

“They like each other!” \u2014 Jolie, 7<\/p>\n

“Because they feel like it.” \u2014 Everleigh, 6<\/p>\n

“They feel a deep connection and want to be together forever.” \u2014 Avery, 11<\/p>\n

“To prove their everlasting love!” \u2014 Gigi, 11<\/p>\n

“They’re in love and they think they go well together. They might argue, but always make up.” \u2014 Lucy, 10<\/p>\n

“Because dating can sometimes just be for fun, but marriage shows that you’re really serious about someone and want to be with them forever.” \u2014 Rachel, 11<\/p>\n

\ud83c\udfc8\ud83c\udfb5\u2764\ufe0f Is Travis a good match for Taylor?<\/strong><\/p>\n

For the most part, but a few need more convincing.<\/p>\n

“They LOVE EACH OTHER! No question!” \u2014 Gigi, 11<\/p>\n

“Definitely. They’re both fun and seem like they love to laugh together. They also made the effort to support each other’s interests: Travis goes to Taylor’s concerts, and she started watching football to support him. And they both love their moms so much.” \u2014 Rachel, 11<\/p>\n

\"Taylor<\/p>\n

People get married because they like to kiss, the kids say.<\/p>\n

“Yes, because whenever I see them together, Taylor is always smiling, rosy-cheeked and happy. She’s always cheering for him too!” \u2014 Lucy, 10<\/p>\n

“Sort of yes: I think Taylor likes how he plays football. Sort of no: His job means he gets hurt a lot.” \u2014 Jolie, 7<\/p>\n

“No. Because Travis’s last name doesn’t go with Taylor’s name.” \u2014 Charlotte, 7<\/p>\n

“I don’t think he’s a good match for Taylor because there are so many better people in the world than Travis.” \u2014 Ella, 9<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udcb0 The Budget<\/strong><\/p>\n

She’s a billionaire. He’s an NFL star with a side hustle selling $345 steaks<\/a>. We’ll guess the actual figure is somewhere north of $1 million and south of “1 billion thousand dollars.”<\/p>\n

“$200. Usually weddings are $500.” \u2014 Jolie, 7<\/p>\n

“$1,000.” \u2014 Charlotte, 7<\/p>\n

“$10,000.” \u2014 Ella, 9<\/p>\n

“How much money do they have? [Mom explains she’s a billionaire.] OK, at least $20,000 then. At least.” \u2014 Gigi, 11<\/p>\n

“$1 million.” \u2014 Lucy, 10<\/p>\n

“$1 million.” \u2014 Avery, 11<\/p>\n

“$1 billion thousand dollars.” \u2014 Everleigh, 6<\/p>\n

“Financial responsibility has left the chat.” \u2014 Rachel, 11<\/p>\n

\ud83c\udf8a The venue<\/strong><\/p>\n

If Taylor got married at the last place these kids attended a party, where would she be saying, “I do” \u2014 and what would the theme be?<\/p>\n

“She would be getting married at Adventure City [amusement park] and the theme would be roller coasters.” \u2014 Charlotte, 7<\/p>\n

“Disneyland, and the theme would be ‘It’s a Small World.'” \u2014 Ella, 9<\/p>\n

“[My] school gym. Space theme.” \u2014 Avery, 11<\/p>\n

“The beach. It would be pretty, but bad. Sandy.” \u2014 Jolie, 7<\/p>\n

“Xtreme Energy, a play space in New Jersey.” \u2014 Lucy, 10<\/p>\n

“My school! Prom\/school dance theme.” \u2014 Rachel, 11<\/p>\n

“A gymnastics place?? That would be weird!” \u2014 Everleigh, 6<\/p>\n

Cake is the only definite. The rest ranges from enchiladas to cat food.<\/p>\n

“Definitely steak (one of Travis’s favorite foods), chicken, cheesecake (one of Taylor’s favorite foods, and mine too!) and a red velvet wedding cake with white frosting on top \u2014 because it’s from one of her music videos and also because red velvet cake is awesome!” \u2014 Rachel, 11<\/p>\n

“Cake with two figurines on top.” \u2014 Ella, 9<\/p>\n

\"Taylor<\/p>\n

“A very beautiful wedding cake with stars, pearl sprinkles and [figurines of] them dancing together on the cake.” \u2014 Charlotte, 7<\/p>\n

“Definitely a Taylor Swift-themed cake. Definitely. They should have grown-up food. They should also have cheese enchiladas.” \u2014 Jolie, 7<\/p>\n

“Sushi and steak.” \u2014 Lucy, 10<\/p>\n

“A huge cake, sushi, steak and milkshakes and mini donuts.” \u2014 Avery, 11<\/p>\n

“Their favorite fruits and desserts, and the food that they ate on their first date.” \u2014 Gigi, 11<\/p>\n

“Pizzas, sushi and cat food (for the cat guests).” \u2014 Everleigh, 6<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udc08 Should her cats be in the wedding?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was unanimous: Meredith Grey, Olivia Benson and Benjamin Button all earned starring roles.<\/p>\n

“That’s a lot of cats. Yes, but she should have a gate.” \u2014 Jolie, 7<\/p>\n

“Yes \u2014 flower kittens!” \u2014 Charlotte, 7<\/p>\n

“I think they should be in the wedding. They would behave mischievously.” \u2014 Ella, 9<\/p>\n

“Yes, flower girls and ring bearers, of course!” \u2014 Lucy, 10<\/p>\n

“Yes, duh! That’s why I said to have cat food.” \u2014 Everleigh, 6<\/p>\n

“Yes, they should be the ring bearers. No, they wouldn’t behave.” \u2014 Avery, 11<\/p>\n

“If they were really well trained, they could be flower girls, ring bearers or bridesmaids. Tuxes and dresses all the way.” \u2014 Gigi, 11<\/p>\n

“Yes \u2014 flower kittens! If everything goes as planned, they should walk down the aisle with little flower dresses. I don’t really think they’d behave, so Taylor should have cat treats as a reward.” \u2014 Rachel, 11<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udc90 Who should be a bridesmaid?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Two votes for Andrea Swift. One self-vote for Lucy.<\/p>\n

“Her mom.” \u2014 Avery, 11<\/p>\n

“Her good friends: Abigail Anderson, the Haim sisters, Selena Gomez, Gigi Hadid and Sabrina Carpenter.” \u2014 Gigi, 11<\/p>\n

“Taylor’s closest cousin, if she has any.” \u2014 Ella, 9<\/p>\n

“Her best friend Abigail and her other friend, Selena Gomez.” \u2014 Rachel, 11<\/p>\n

“Her mom and me!” \u2014 Lucy, 10<\/p>\n

We’re not sure what Charlotte’s friend Elle did, but she made the no list \u2014 alongside dogs, exes, foes, a rapper and a sitting president.<\/p>\n

“Her archenemies.” \u2014 Ella, 9<\/p>\n

“Her ex-boyfriends and dogs.” \u2014 Lucy, 10<\/p>\n

“No dogs please.” \u2014 Everleigh, 6<\/p>\n

“Trump.” \u2014 Avery, 11<\/p>\n

Asks Siri: “Is Taylor Swift currently friends with Blake Lively? Siri doesn’t understand four times before producing an answer. “Oh, legal drama. Estranged. Not her.” \u2014 Gigi, 11<\/p>\n

“Kanye West \u2014 absolutely no.” \u2013 Rachel, 11<\/p>\n

“My friend Elle.” \u2014 Charlotte, 7<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udcdc If you could make one rule for Taylor’s wedding, what would it be?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mandatory singing, dancing, cat ears, friendship bracelets and puppies.<\/p>\n

“Everyone gets a puppy!” \u2014 Charlotte, 7<\/p>\n

“Everyone has to dance.” \u2014 Avery, 11<\/p>\n

“Each person who attends has to sing a Taylor song to get in.” \u2014 Gigi, 11<\/p>\n

“Everyone has to name a Taylor Swift song.” \u2014 Ella, 9<\/p>\n

“Everyone has to wear an Eras Tour charm bracelet.” \u2014 Lucy, 10<\/p>\n

“Everyone has to wear cat ears.” \u2014 Rachel, 11<\/p>\n

“No toys and no dogs. And everyone must wear a dress \u2014 even the boys.” \u2014 Everleigh, 6<\/p>\n

\ud83c\udfb5 The First Dance<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mostly Taylor, plus a few wildcards.<\/p>\n

“Maybe her first song, if it’s not embarrassing for her (‘Tim McGraw<\/a>‘). Otherwise, love-related songs, like ‘Lover<\/a>‘ and ‘Love Story.<\/a>‘” \u2014 Gigi, 11<\/p>\n

“‘Love Story.<\/a>‘” \u2014 Avery, 11<\/p>\n

“‘Red.<\/a>‘” \u2014 Everleigh, 6<\/p>\n

“‘Mary’s Song (Oh My My My)<\/a>.'” \u2014 Lucy, 10<\/p>\n

“‘Elizabeth Taylor.<\/a>” \u2014 Charlotte, 7<\/p>\n

“‘Lovin’ You, Baby<\/a>‘ [by Charles Bradley].” \u2014 Ella, 9<\/p>\n

“So Easy (To Fall In Love)<\/a>‘ by Olivia Dean.” \u2014 Rachel, 11<\/p>\n

\u2728 One thing Taylor’s wedding absolutely must have<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some answers were practical. Others … involved celebrity decoys<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Fake Taylor Swifts in case she wants to relax or hide.” \u2014 Jolie, 7<\/p>\n

“Cats!” \u2014 Lucy, 10, and Everleigh, 6<\/p>\n

“Music.” \u2014 Avery, 11<\/p>\n

“Seats and tables and a beautiful display.” \u2014 Ella, 9<\/p>\n

“Taylor and Travis’s family karaoke time.” \u2014 Rachel<\/p>\n

“A Mama Bijoux Fine Jewelry piercing activation<\/a>. (OK, mom wrote this one.)” \u2014 Charlotte, 7<\/p>\n

\ud83c\udf81 The Gifts<\/strong><\/p>\n

These kids would go off-registry big time, including a live pet.<\/p>\n

“Gift both of them charm bracelets. When you put them together, they’ll spell T + T.” \u2014 Lucy, 10<\/p>\n

“I would get them some baby clothes. Also, for Taylor, a beautiful painting, and for Travis, a football jersey.” \u2014 Charlotte, 7<\/p>\n

“I would get her a new microphone for her concerts.” \u2014 Jolie, 7<\/p>\n

“A blue guitar with butterflies that says ‘Taylor’ in golden letters.” \u2014 Gigi, 11<\/p>\n

“A kitten, a cat stuffy and an otter stuffy<\/a>.” \u2014 Rachel, 11<\/p>\n

“A whole day with no people taking pictures of them.” \u2014 Avery, 11<\/p>\n

\"Travis<\/p>\n

A photo-free day would be a great gift, the kids think.<\/p>\n

(TheStewartofNY)\ud83c\udf34 The Honeymoon<\/strong><\/p>\n

No need to consult a travel agent.<\/p>\n

“Go on a safari.” \u2014 Avery, 11<\/p>\n

“A private island.” \u2014 Rachel, 11<\/p>\n

“Swimming.” \u2014 Everleigh, 6<\/p>\n

“They should go to Tabu Shabu<\/a> and put sprinkles in their soup.” \u2014 Charlotte, 7<\/p>\n

“What’s a honeymoon?” \u2014 Jolie, 7<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udc8d Do you want to get married?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was only fair to ask the planners one last question.<\/p>\n

“Yes! Of course!” \u2014 Lucy, 10<\/p>\n

“It depends on who.” \u2014 Jolie, 7<\/p>\n

“Yes, because I want to find my true love.” \u2014 Charlotte, 7<\/p>\n

“Yes, because I don’t want to be all lonely when I turn 50.” \u2014 Ella, 9<\/p>\n

“Yeah, but can I have my iPad?” \u2014 Everleigh, 6<\/p>\n

“Maybe \u2014 I’m only 11.” \u2014 Avery, 11<\/p>\n

“I definitely want to meet my soulmate and get married. I hope that one day I can find the Travis Kelce to my Taylor Swift and share lots of fun moments together. But it’ll be a long time before any of that happens, so for now I’ll focus on having fun and working hard to have a good life in the future!” \u2014 Rachel, 11<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Thanks to NDAs and a buttoned-up inner circle, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding plans are under tighter…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":566901,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[268],"tags":[434,22252,23866,18,25635,117,241970,11735,19,17,973,241971,122],"class_list":["post-566900","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-charlotte","tag-chiefs","tag-eire","tag-elizabeth-taylor","tag-entertainment","tag-everleigh","tag-gigi-hadid","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-taylor-swift","tag-taylor-swifts","tag-travis-kelce"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/116856004025244017","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/566900","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=566900"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/566900\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/566901"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=566900"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=566900"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=566900"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
