Singer Taylor married her NFL player fiancé, Travis, in a top-secret ceremony at New York City’s Madison Square Garden in front of Adam Sandler and 1,000 of their closest friends. The nuptials were confirmed on the big screen outside, with displays reading "JusT&T Married!"
Despite the online discourse surrounding the wedding over the weekend, many fans of Taylor’s are happy for her wedding — but now, all eyes turn to the honeymoon.
With the couple not spilling the beans on where they may head post-wedding, bookies Ladbrokes believe they could head to Ireland — with admittedly good odds of just 3/1 that they’ll come here.
"Swift and Kelce’s honeymoon is all anyone is thinking about after their showstopping wedding in New York," Ladbrokes spokesperson Nicola McGeady said. "Punters believe the only way to top Madison Square Garden is an Irish honeymoon."
Taylor previously performed three nights of her Eras Tour at Aviva Stadium in Dublin in 2024, with her then-boyfriend Travis in attendance. Travis appeared to enjoy his time in Ireland, too, when he was spotted on his podcast wearing an Irish rugby jersey.
Taylor has also spoken about her love for Ireland in her songs, particularly Wicklow—when she wrote about a pebble she’d picked up with her then-boyfriend, Joe Alwyn, in the song "Sweet Nothing".

The Wicklow reference has naturally opened the door to speculation that she wants to spend more time in the Garden County, with Tánaiste and Greystones native Simon Harris even extending an invitation to the newlyweds.
"She hasn’t given the pebble back yet," Mr Harris joked. "The only bone to pick was that she came to Wicklow, took the pebble, and I made the point when she was here last time to invite her to come to Wicklow and return the pebble to our beach.
"I’m still not sure which beach she took it off in County Wicklow. I want to congratulate her, wish her very well, and she’s very welcome back to Wicklow anytime if we can inspire her artistic flair there again.
"Wicklow is a beautiful place to honeymoon in, and they are very welcome there, at any time," he added. "There goes the tourism advertisement for Wicklow."
