Taylor Swift’s Wedding: Word on the Street in Watch Hill
Could Watch Hill handle a Taylor Swift wedding?
Following Taylor Swift’s engagement announcement last month, the internet has seen a lot of buzz around where the popstar’s wedding will take place, with Rhode Island being one of the possible locations mentioned.
In fact, Realtor.com columnist Kelsi Karruli reports that Swift and Kelce have chosen the singer’s Watch Hill mansion for a wedding next summer. Known as “Holiday House,” the oceanside estate has been the site of various lavish parties over the years, making it an obvious choice to host another celebration for Swift.
While every Rhode Islander holds their breath hoping for Swift to confirm an Ocean State wedding, here’s a look back at all the parties Taylor Swift has thrown at Holiday House over the years.
Fourth of July parties
Over the years, Swift has become known for her iconic Independence Day bashes in Rhode Island, dubbed “Taymerica” parties by her fans. After buying her Rhode Island house in 2013, Swift threw parties for the holiday for four years in a row, hosting members of her “squad” like Blake Lively, Gigi Hadid, Cara Delevingne, Ed Sheeran, Lena Dunham and Emma Stone.
From 2017 to 2022, Swift took a break from celebrating the Fourth in Rhode Island, leading many fans to question if the singer’s holiday tradition was over. However, in 2023, Taylor Swift once again returned to Rhode Island for July 4, celebrating with Selena Gomez and Haim sisters Este, Alana and Danielle.
“Happy belated Independence Day from your local neighborhood independent girlies,” Swift captioned an Instagram post featuring pictures of the friends posing in front of the water, laughing in the kitchen and enjoying red, white and blue popsicles.
Last year, the popstar was unable to throw a Rhode Island party due to being in Europe for the Eras Tour, where she played a show at Johan Cruyff Arena in Amsterdam on July 4, 2024. For this year’s Fourth of July holiday, Swift reportedly celebrated quietly with Travis Kelce at Yellowstone Club, an exclusive, secluded resort spanning across 15,200 acres of the northern Rock Mountains in Big Sky, Montana.
Birthday bash
In August 2024, Swift returned to her New England mansion for a late summer bash in honor of Blake Lively’s birthday, which was reportedly attended by Lively’s husband Ryan Reynolds, Bradley Cooper, Zoe Kravitz, Channing Tatum, Travis Kelce, Jason and Kylie Kelce and Patrick and Brittany Mahomes.
Lively and Reynold’s four kids, who are Swift’s godchildren, were also in attendance, as well as Bradley Cooper’s daughter.
