Despite reports pointing to New York as a potential Swift-Kelce wedding location, Swifties still descended on Watch Hill, R.I., this past weekend, hoping for a glimpse of the singer or signs of a June 13 celebration.
“She’s here,” said Lisa King as she hustled alongside her 13-year-old daughter, Sierra, toward a local lighthouse on a gloriously sunny Saturday afternoon.
The “here” was Watch Hill, the affluent seaside neighborhood in Westerly, R.I., replete with members-only clubs, Gilded Age mansions and ample souvenir shops selling crew neck sweatshirts and nautical keepsakes.
The “she” was Taylor Swift.
King, a 48-year-old from Bedford, N.H., had booked the mother-daughter trip months ago, after tabloid reports claimed the singer would wed the football player Travis Kelce on June 13 at the Ocean House, a luxury hotel where the sailcloth tent rental fee alone is $75,000.
The reports, though unconfirmed, seemed plausible, said King, a commercial insurance broker and Swiftie.
The singer, a numerology fanatic, has a longstanding fondness for the number 13; a June wedding would work with Kelce’s offseason; and, perhaps most convincingly, Swift has owned a home in Watch Hill since 2013, when she purchased an 11,000-square-foot “cottage” for $17.75 million.
And Holiday House, as it’s known, is just a stone’s throw from the Ocean House.
