The couple got engaged last year

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have decided to pause their wedding preparations following their engagement, it has been claimed.

The globally renowned pop star and Kansas City Chiefs tight end, whose union promises to be among the most talked-about celebrity weddings in recent memory, are reportedly in no hurry to finalise arrangements.


Rather than diving into the logistics of what would undoubtedly be a spectacular event, the couple has opted to put planning on the back burner for now.

The pair are currently focused on spending quality time with one another rather than getting bogged down in wedding logistics.

"They're not even halfway through the guest list," an anonymous source told Rob Shuter.

"Right now it's more about enjoying time together than crunching spreadsheets."

This laid-back stance marks a departure from what might be expected of such a high-profile couple, with neither Swift nor Kelce appearing eager to rush towards the altar.

Sources suggest the engaged pair are content to let the planning process unfold naturally, prioritising their relationship over the pressures of organising what will inevitably be a major event.

A significant factor behind the couple's unhurried approach appears to be Kelce's ongoing deliberations about his professional future.

The NFL star is currently weighing up whether to continue playing for another season or hang up his boots.

"Travis is still figuring out if he's playing next year," a source said.

"They don't want to stress over a wedding when there's so much else going on."

With such a substantial career decision looming, the couple have reportedly concluded that adding wedding pressure to the mix would be unwise, preferring instead to tackle one major life event at a time.

Swift, known for her meticulous attention to detail in all aspects of her career, has apparently adopted an unusually relaxed attitude when it comes to her nuptials.

"Taylor is usually so meticulous about every detail, but with Travis, she's relaxed," another source said.

"They're taking it slow. The wedding isn't stressing them out yet they're savouring the engagement."

This desire to savour their newly engaged status, combined with Kelce's career uncertainty, means those hoping for an imminent wedding announcement may need to temper their expectations.

Nevertheless, the wedding remains firmly in the couple's plans, just without any pressing timeline attached.

Meanwhile, Kelce has been hailed by NFL legend Tom Brady - who insists only the Kansas City Chiefs star has the right to decide on his future.

"He doesn't need my advice," Brady said. "The guy has had a Hall of Fame career without any of mine, he doesn't need it now.

"He's a stud, man. What a great player he's been. He could still play. He looked great this year and I thought it was one of the best year's he's had in a long time.

"I love watching him play. I love his personality. I love his temperament. I love his competitiveness. He's one of the all-time greats that ever played this game."
