With 2026 shaping up to be another monumental year for Taylor and Travis, excitement is building over what could be the most talked-about showbiz wedding of all time. Fans have been quick to pinpoint Saturday 13 June 2026 as a potential date, not least because 13 is Taylor’s favourite number. It is also the only Saturday in the whole of next year to fall on the 13th of any month, while 26 itself has significance as the sum of 13+13.
In an added layer of symmetry, the couple announced their engagement on 26 August this year. “We don’t know what they’re going to do yet, but the mind boggles at how massive this wedding could be,” says Annie Zaleski, author of Taylor Swift: The Stories Behind The Songs.

“There’s already huge speculation over the venue, the rings and, of course, what dress Taylor will choose.” Although still a ‘will they, won’t they’ question for next year, dress designers are already experiencing a surge of interest over what Taylor might wear to walk down the aisle.
Style insiders believe she may opt for a dress by Elie Saab, one of her go-to outfitters, especially as she wore two bridal-inspired gowns by the Lebanese designer during her Eras Tour – including one with white florals and a sequinned bodice. Others believe Taylor might pick the late British designer Vivienne Westwood, whose creations also featured in her Eras shows.
Whoever she chooses, Nicala La Reau, marketing director for wedding gown firm Pronovias, believes her dress will be a real statement piece. “Taylor’s style has always told a story, one that is romantic, symbolic and era-defining,” she says. “Her wedding dress will be more than just a fabric and silhouette, it will be a love song in couture.”

Meanwhile, if Taylor and Travis need help with organising their big day, lifestyle guru Martha Stewart has been quick to throw her hat in the ring. “It’s time to call in the ultimate wedding planner,” she posted on Instagram.Aside from a possible wedding in 2026, many believe Taylor and Travis will not leave it long before starting a family. “I want a bunch of [children] running around, minimum four,” Taylor once said. “The idea of pouring everything you are into another person when you become a parent has always been amazing to me.” Travis has openly admitted wanting children too, and his sister-in-law Kylie Kelce has called him “the absolute best uncle you can imagine” to her and Jason’s four daughters.
Director of E20 Communications Lynn Carratt says, “He’s known as ‘Uncle Trav’ and is so cute with his nieces. As he comes towards the end of his NFL days and Taylor’s career remains in a stable place, it seems like parenthood could be the natural next step for them.” However, despite Taylor turning 36 in December, Annie believes she won’t be swayed by any expectations around motherhood. “There’s so much pressure on women to start a family, and I think Taylor and Travis will just do it in their own time, whenever it feels right.”

Next year brings with it a key anniversary, marking 20 years since the release of Taylor’s first album. The self-titled recording, Taylor Swift , first dropped in October 2006, and many believe a new version is on the way. “I’ve already re-recorded my entire debut album,” the singer revealed in May. “And I really love how it sounds now.” She also told how the album – along with a re-recording of 2017’s Reputation – would have a “moment to re-emerge when the time is right.” As Annie says, “Taylor always marks the big things in good ways, so I think she’ll definitely do something for fans to celebrate.”
Inevitably, Swifties are also looking for signs that a new tour could be in the offing to support The Life O f A Showgirl. The jury seems to be out however, especially after Taylor’s exhausting schedule on The Eras Tour . “It’s hard to know where she’ll go next, because Eras was such an amazing accomplishment, and a unique, flawlessly executed concept,” says Annie. “She’s still going to be a stadium act because that’s the level she’s at, but you can’t imagine she’ll do anything like Eras again for some time.”
