Between "Opalite" dominating headlines, Brit Awards buzz, and a sixth consecutive crown asthe world's best-selling artist,Taylor Swiftis everywhere right now — and apparently, so is her past.
On February 21,E! Newspublished a deep dive into everything the pop icon has said and sung about marriage as she and fiancéTravis Kelceplan their wedding. Tucked inside was a detail that caught the internet's attention: a quote from Swift's December 2012Cosmopolitancover story — headlined "Crazy for a Kennedy" — in which a 23-year-old Taylor talked about not wanting to be the kind of bride with a wedding scrapbook ready for "Mr. Right."
That issue leaned into the Kennedy fairytale narrative surrounding Swift at the time, noting her fascination with the family's history and that matriarch Ethel Kennedy once suggested her grandson Conor Kennedy, who was 18 at the time, would be "lucky to marry her." (Swift and Conor were first linked in summer 2012.)
It's a small reference, but it lands at a moment when wedding speculation around Swift, now 36, and Kelce, also 36, is already picking up steam. In December,Page Sixreported, citing sources, that the couple was eyeing Ocean House in Watch Hill, Rhode Island, for a possible June 13, 2026 ceremony.

In more recent coverage,CT Insiderrevealed an email exchange with the resort addressing the rumors — but the statement didn't offer any real confirmation. "Ocean House prides itself on being rooted in client confidentiality," a spokesperson said. "When clients and their families choose Ocean House as their wedding venue, it is an agreement and commitment between our team and that family."

While Swift and Kelce have kept their lips sealed and no official confirmation has been made, the Rhode Island setting has stirred a wave of nostalgia. Ocean House sits a little over two hours from the Cape Cod home Swift bought near the Kennedy compound during her brief romance with Conor. The former pair split inOctober2012, and the Grammy-winning singer sold the house just months later in 2013.

What makes the moment even more interesting is that Conor is preparing for his own wedding, too. As reported byPeople, the 31-year-old attorney proposed to Brazilian singer and actress Giulia Be in August 2024, announcing the happy news in ajoint Instagram postcaptioned "easiest yes of all time."
Last June,Vogue Brasiloffered a glimpse into the couple's plans, with Giulia revealing in an Instagram video that she envisions herself as a "classic bride" and that the wedding is set for June 2026 in Rio de Janeiro.
