Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce nuptials called a 'royal wedding' by NFL pals dropping major timing hints
The Taylor Swift-Travis Kelce wedding buzz reached a new level this week after the NFL star's pals likened the highly anticipated event to a "royal wedding" and hinted that the superstar couple may not be far from walking down the aisle.
Swift made an appearance at Kelce's Tight End University, an NFL camp created by the football player, along with George Kittle and Greg Olsen, on Tuesday night. The "Life of a Showgirl" singer showed up at the concert to watch Lainey Wilson perform and made a surprise performance of her iconic song, "Love Story."
Kelce's inner circle appeared just as excited as fans about the couple's future, with friends already talking about their trip down the aisle.
"Oh my gosh, everyone’s just so excited for them," Kristin Juszczyk, wife of NFL star Kyle Juszczyk, told Page Six. "We’ve known Travis for a while now, and we’re just so happy that he found his person."
"Really, it is just excitement … it’s the royal wedding!" Kyle added.
As speculation mounts over when Swift and Kelce will tie the knot, Kittle fueled the frenzy by suggesting the couple's wedding could be right around the corner.
"She’s just such an awesome person to give us her time this close to their wedding," he told People magazine regarding Swift's appearance at Tight End University. "So we’re just so thankful that they’re here."
"She’s just hanging out, talking to my mom," the San Francisco 49ers star added. "Thanks, mom. Shoutout Taylor for talking to my mom again. But she’s just so kind, and it’s awesome to have her around."
