Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are inching closer and closer to their dream wedding, surrounded by family, friends and the attention of millions of fans worldwide.

The three-time Super Bowl champ, 36, and the "Cruel Summer" singer, also 36, are reportedly set to tie the knot this Fourth of July weekend, somewhere in New York.

While they're understandably keeping the details under wraps, on a few occasions, Travis has expressed his excitement for the coming nuptials, including on the latest edition of his podcast New Heights, which he co-hosts with his older brother Jason Kelce.

"I can't wait"

For this week's episode, they played host to golfer Rory McIlroy, who referenced the Swift-Kelce wedding when discussing the joy of seeing his loved ones and an incredible community of people around him when he hosted the annual Masters Champions Dinner.

"Travis, you'll feel this this year whenever you're sitting at your wedding, and you have all the people in a room…," Rory shared. "It's amazing to have all these people in the same room from your childhood… and it's surreal. It's unbelievable."

"The only thing that I can compare it to is your wedding day because it's like all this collection of people in the same room. It's wild," he continued to gush, to which Travis simply reacted with a "I can't wait."

An A-list guest list

The couple started dating in 2023, going public with their romance soon after, and Travis popped the question in August of 2025 after two years together. During a rare appearance on The Graham Norton Show while promoting her album The Life of a Showgirl, Taylor did discuss the prospect of balancing a very impressive guest list for the event.

"It's going to be fun to plan, because I think the only stressful weddings are the ones where you have a small amount of people and people are on the bubble – and you have to evaluate or assess your relationship with them to see if they should be there," she explained. "I'm not gonna do that. Anyone I've ever talked to [is getting an invitation]."

For his part, Graham went viral when at one point he joked he'd signed "so many NDAs" to attend the wedding (a report that also went around with the couple's invites), although he later backtracked on that comment while appearing at Advertising Week Europe.

"I don't know, no [I have not signed a non-disclosure agreement]," Graham said when asked about the NDA, reports The Independent. "I said that as a joke on the podcast. I said, 'Oh, I've signed all these NDAs,' and then it started getting reported as a serious thing in America. I didn't say [to] cut that out because I thought it was so obviously a joke."

Making it a production

The superstar songwriter further added on Late Night with Seth Meyers: "There's lots of different things you could do, right?"

"It's going to be fun to plan, because I think the only stressful weddings are the ones where you have a small amount of people and people are on the bubble."

"We could get some production value or get really tricksy with it where they read it and as soon as it senses fingerprints…three minutes later, it dissolves into dust…If you can figure out what any of this is…like, you're having to do trigonometry to figure out what date it is."
