Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Cut Out In-Laws!

When Andrea Swift heard that a handsome NFL player had turned up to one of her daughter's concerts in 2023 intent on gifting her a friendship bracelet, her only question was: 'How in the world am I going to get her to meet him?'

Enamored with 's 'earnest' attempt to woo , doting Andrea set about devising a way to set them up.

The rest, of course, is history - and having played such a pivotal role in her pop star daughter's happily ever after, it would surely be safe to assume that the mother of the bride, 68, is heavily involved in planning the .

Not quite.

Insiders have told the Daily Mail that Swift and City Chiefs tight end Kelce, both 36, have shut out their parents, instead arranging the big day between themselves and a wedding planner.

'Both sets of parents are all really happy and think getting married is the right thing for them to do because they're old school and wanted him to put a ring on Taylor's finger,' an insider told us. 'But none of them are involved in the wedding planning, although surprisingly Travis is.'

'Taylor's not the official wedding planner, but most of the ideas are hers. She's used to taking control. This will be her big day and along with Travis she'll be the mastermind,' the source continued.

'She literally runs everything past him. If they don't agree on something they scrap it.'

The decision may have come as a surprise to both sets of parents who have been so involved in their children's lives thus far.

Andrea and Scott Swift, who were married in 1988, sold their family home in Pennsylvania and relocated to Nashville in 2004 to support Swift's dreams of becoming a country star, with both taking active roles in her management.

Meanwhile, Donna and Ed Kelce, who married in the 1970s, have talked openly about staying together for as long as they did before their divorce for the benefit of their boys Travis and retired NFL star Jason, and how they would 'tag team' to ensure their sons never missed out on opportunities. 

So dedicated is Donna to her sons' careers she once traveled 1,300 miles to see both compete in their respective playoff games on the same day.

And the two families have established close bonds with one another since the Swift-Kelce fairy tale.

'Taylor and Travis are big on family, so when they can have any functions, they want their parents there and they love it,' said another well-placed insider. 'Family events are often around the holidays, or when they're all at a game they will often go back to the house and eat together. They will continue the family time when they can. They don't do it every time, because sometimes Travis just wants to go home and relax.'

The insider described the two families as 'pretty normal' and claimed 'everyone gets along.'
