Thirteen years before Taylor Swift accepted Travis Kelce’s proposal, she was already talking about what her dream wedding might look like. Back in 2012, Swift opened up about the matter in a Cosmopolitan cover story, an interview that has now resurfaced after her engagement, US Weekly reported.
Taylor Swift teases her wedding plans in resurfaced interview
“I want to build a life with someone that is based on their dreams as well as my dreams,” Swift said at the time. The Blank Space crooner added that she never wanted her wedding to feel like she had drawn up a rulebook. “I don’t want it to just be like, ‘So, I have a scrapbook. In it, I put all the fabric swatches of the wedding dress I’m going to wear. I also have a tuxedo I picked out of a catalog that you’ll wear,’” she explained.

Taylor Swift stressed that she did not want her partner to feel like a prop in a story she had already written.
The Grammy winner also spoke about balance, chasing her dreams, but craving someone to share them with. “Living your dreams is so important too, and a lot of times I’ve put that before everything else,” Swift told Cosmopolitan.
Travis Kelce’s thoughtful proposal
Swift and Kelce, both 35, confirmed their engagement last month after two years of dating. Their joint Instagram post read, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.”
According to Us Weekly, Kelce picked out a vintage-style old mine brilliant cut diamond with designer Kindred Lubbock at Artifex Fine Jewelry. A source told the outlet that the Kansas City Chiefs tight end “had a clear vision of what he wanted.”
Kelce later joked on his New Heights podcast with brother Jason that wedding planning is already underway. “Oh, it’s gonna go crazy,” Travis said on the September 3 episode.

What is next for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce?
Swift and Kelce have also been open about the bigger picture. A second insider told Us Weekly the couple “absolutely want a family” and that having kids is a dream they share.
That dream lines up with something Swift said back in her Cosmopolitan interview. “Being a mom full-time, doing everything for my kids, having a bunch of them. One day, I’m sure. But that’s the only other thing that could be as thrilling for me as doing this (career),” she had explained.
