Taylor Swift had hoped to get married in Rhode Island but decided to settle on New York City instead, according to media reports.

"'Taylor and Travis (Kelce) really wanted their wedding in Rhode Island, and June 13 was the date, but security wouldn’t have worked because it could get out of hand with that kind of scale of an event,' an insider says," according to Us Weekly.

Swift's security team “had to assess all the venues to see what made sense” and “Rhode Island wasn’t great because the nature of the access and the perimeters were too difficult to secure. So the main issue with Rhode Island ended up being security,” Cosmopolitan reported.

Swift and Kelce will wed at Madison Square Garden, Page Six said it found out, despite comprehensive vows of silence.

"Everyone’s been sworn to secrecy," Page Six said it was told.
