Pop superstar Taylor Swift is in the midst of a wedding venue controversy after speculation surfaced that she paid to book a date that was already reserved for another couple. The theory went viral that Swift will marry NFL star Travis Kelce on June 13, 2026, at Rhode Island’s Ocean House Hotel, the date reportedly chosen due to her love of numerology and her birthday on December 13.
As per report, the Ocean House Hotel was already booked by another couple on June 13. Insiders claimed that Swift allegedly offered a hefty amount of money in an attempt to persuade the couple to give up the date so she could have it for her marriage with Kelce.
These claims were quickly denied by the Ocean House Hotel. According to Stephanie Leavitt, the hotel's area director of sales and marketing, "The hotel does not allow one client to buy up another client's reservation. When clients and their families choose Ocean House as their wedding venue, it is an agreement and commitment between our team and that family."
Leavitt said, "Ocean House would not and is not allowing another party or entity to buy a wedding group out of a contracted wedding date." She further reiterated that the venue "prides itself on being rooted in client confidentiality, integrity, loyalty, and service," underlining, "We appreciate the interest in our brides and grooms yet allow them to confirm their wedding location with who they choose."
Swift has spoken numerous times of the belief that 13 is her lucky number, adding to speculation that she might have chosen June 13 as a wedding date. Fans immediately started connecting that number with her birthday on December 13, fuelling online theories.
On August 26, 2025, Taylor Swift announced her engagement to NFL star Travis Kelce after being in a relationship for over two years. Ever since, excitement has been high to know details about the wedding, and every rumor about it attracts huge attention.
The speculation originally started when it was reported that Swift wanted June 13, 2026, which was a date already taken at the Ocean House in Westerly, Rhode Island. It was said that she offered the couple a hefty amount to have them move their reservation, sending social media abuzz. Social media was filled with different responses, as some fans took the story to be true, while others defended Swift.
However, the Ocean House Hotel quickly quelled these rumors. They denied that any takeover of a wedding date can occur-they stated in their rules, once a couple books a date, that's it. As such, Leavitt's statement dispelled the notion of a buyout, leaving no substance to the rumor.
Neither Taylor Swift nor Travis Kelce has commented on the story, and the couple allegedly affected by the rumor has not spoken publicly about it. No official contract or evidence has been provided to support this claim.
Conclusion For now, the "wedding date snatching" story is merely unconfirmed celebrity rumor. Until Swift or Kelce provide any real wedding details, rumors will always spike online to keep fans guessing and the media abuzz.
