Taylor Swift is reportedly expected to take a new name after marriage. However, insiders suggest she will keep her stage name. The move comes as the singer holds a multi-day wedding celebration with NFL star Travis Kelce at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Sources say the timing of the marriage remains unclear.
Here’s what Taylor Swift’s new name might be after Travis Kelce wedding
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding festivities are already in full swing. Thursday was reportedly kept low-key, with only relatives and close friends gathering for an intimate celebration inside Madison Square Garden.
The bigger party is said to happen on Friday, when the guest list is expected to grow to well over 1,000 people. Despite all the buzz, one question still hasn’t been answered: exactly when the couple will legally get married. So far, no official details about the ceremony have been made public.
Behind the scenes, sources told the Daily Mail that Swift has decided she will adopt Travis Kelce’s surname after the wedding in her private life. Rather than using a double surname, she reportedly wants to be known personally as Mrs. Taylor Kelce.
Fans can still expect to see Taylor Swift on albums, tours, and business projects, while the reported name change is simply meant to give her future family a shared last name. Many couldn’t help but liken this to Jennifer Aniston’s decision during her marriage to Brad Pitt.
An insider said the professional separation is deliberate, noting her name remains one of the biggest brands in entertainment. “Professionally, she’ll always be Taylor Swift,” the insider said, adding that the name carries massive brand value. They added that personally the shift is different and Swift sees the change as “meaningful.”
“Personally, it’s a different story,” the insider said. Swift is described as “very traditional” and is not interested in hyphenating or combining names. Insiders say both Swift and Kelce see sharing a surname as something “beautiful and incredibly special.”
