Are Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Secretly Married? Here's What Sparked Latest Frenzy
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have once again set the internet abuzz, this time with rumors of a secret marriage. The spark? A wedding planner's video showing a place card labeled Taylor and Travis Kelce at a recent family wedding. But have the superstar singer and NFL star really tied the knot? Here's what we know. The marriage buzz began after an Instagram Story from wedding planners elliestyled surfaced on June 9. The video featured a sweeping shot of an elegant table setting, where a card labeled 'Taylor and Travis Kelce' at Table 13 caught sharp-eyed fans' attention. The clip was reportedly filmed at the wedding of Travis' cousin, Tanner Corum, and his bride, Samantha Peck, in Knoxville, Tennessee — an event Swift and Kelce attended just days prior. Social media quickly lit up with speculation that the place card hinted at an unannounced marriage, with some even suggesting that Taylor had already adopted Travis' surname. One fan on X (formerly Twitter) posted, 'Taylor and Travis KELCE at table 13 — should I say congratulations?' However, sources close to the couple have clarified to E! News that Swift and Kelce are not married — and that the place card was simply a thoughtful gesture, not an official indication of marital status. While the Taylor and Travis Kelce table card sent Swifties into a frenzy, it looks like this was simply a sweet nod to the couple's relationship — not proof of wedding bells just yet. For now, fans will have to keep watching for any official updates from the duo themselves. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's romance first captured public attention in the summer of 2023, when the NFL star revealed on his podcast that he had attempted — and failed — to give Swift a friendship bracelet with his phone number at one of her Eras Tour concerts. The playful story quickly turned into reality when the two began dating later that year. Since then, the pair has become one of pop culture's favorite couples, frequently supporting each other at concerts and games. Their relationship has continued to blossom in the spotlight, with Swift attending several Kansas City Chiefs games and Kelce traveling internationally to cheer her on during tour stops.

Josh Allen and Hailee Steinfeld's wedding photo gets a quiet but telling response from the Buffalo Bills
Hollywood glamour met NFL grit as actress and Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen said 'I do' in a dreamy wedding ceremony last weekend in California. While the couple has kept their romance relatively private since they started dating in 2023, their wedding was anything but low-key — it was an unforgettable celebration with just the right mix of love, elegance, and unexpected celebrity appearances. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Josh Allen's wedding photo with Hailee Steinfeld gets a quiet nod from the Bills—but it speaks volumes From the very start, the event had all the makings of a fairytale. Steinfeld turned heads in a stunning short white rehearsal dress before slipping into her bridal gown to walk down the aisle, arm in arm with her father. Their romantic kiss at the altar quickly made waves online, sealing their new beginning with a moment fans will remember for years. The ceremony itself was intimate yet star-studded, with several Buffalo Bills teammates in attendance and, surprisingly, even comedian and Curb Your Enthusiasm creator Larry David showing up as a guest. Allen, who proposed to Steinfeld back in November 2023 in a Malibu setting straight out of a rom-com, finally made it official with his Oscar-nominated fiancée. The couple had been quietly building their relationship in the public eye while balancing the intense spotlight that comes with being a top-tier NFL star and a multi-talented Hollywood actress. Though Steinfeld skipped her usual Beau Society newsletter the week of the wedding — understandably so — she still found a sweet way to connect with her fans. On June 6, she posted a radiant photo of herself and Allen from their big day, writing, 'We're married! More to come…' The simple yet joyful message had her followers buzzing with excitement, especially given the rare personal glimpse into the couple's life. The reaction? Absolutely heartwarming. The Buffalo Bills themselves dropped two emojis — '😍😍' — in the comments section of Steinfeld's Instagram post, a subtle but affectionate nod of approval from Allen's team. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The quarterback, known for keeping his private life under wraps, even chimed in with a comment of his own, something fans don't often see. Adding to the magic, a viral billboard in Buffalo once playfully dubbed Steinfeld 'The Queen of Buffalo' — and now, it seems, that title has officially come to life. Though the full story of their wedding is still under wraps, it's clear from the early glimpses that this was more than just a union of two people — it was a perfect merging of Hollywood charm and NFL heart, celebrated with authenticity and style.
