Taylor Swift Didn’t Marry in Rhode Island. Fans Showed Up Anyway.

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.

Part of a "T" and part of an "S" separated by a heart appears in the sand. A hand displays a white beaded word bracelet that says "Holiday House."
Some fans drew the initials “T.S.” and the number 13 in the sand of East Beach, which sits in front of Holiday House. Kathy LaGrone wore a beaded bracelet with the name of Swift’s seaside estate.Sarah Meftah for The New York Times
