Taylor Swift’s life looks very different now compared to when she sang about fairy-tale romance in 2008. But even after all these years, it seems the idea of a dreamy, royal-level wedding still follows her. New rumors suggest that she may have chosen Sarah Burton to design her wedding gown for her marriage to Travis Kelce.
People believe Taylor recently traveled to London not only to film a music video for her song “Elizabeth Taylor” but also to quietly meet with Burton, who is now the Creative Director at Givenchy. An anonymous tip sent to Deuxmoi claimed that the most talked-about bride-to-be will walk down the aisle in a gown created by Burton.
Sarah Burton is no stranger to massive, history-making gowns. She designed Kate Middleton’s wedding dress in 2011, a gown watched by an estimated billion people around the world. That dress, with its lace details, fitted bodice and dramatic skirt, shaped bridal trends for years. If Taylor wears a Burton design, experts believe it could spark another wave of influence across the bridal industry.
Fashion watchers say that Givenchy could see a huge rise in demand, and people who love Burton’s older work at Alexander McQueen might rush to buy similar styles. Designers and fans have spent months trying to guess what Taylor will wear. Some imagine Old Hollywood glamour. Others see her leaning into her early-career fairy-tale look. Some think she might channel the bold, glittering vibe of her Showgirl era. And many wonder if she will pull an Eras-style move and wear multiple dresses that each reflect a different side of her.
Designers have sketched ideas. Fans have studied years of her red carpet choices. But Taylor herself has said she never really imagined her wedding dress until she met the person she wanted to marry.
Ralph Lauren and Oscar de la Renta are also strong contenders because Taylor has worn their designs in the past, including in her engagement photos. But fashion experts agree that Burton would be a meaningful pick. Burton understands how to design gowns that feel powerful, feminine and timeless. She knows how to shape a dress around a woman’s body in a way that feels elegant but not old-fashioned. Catherine, Princess of Wales, took a risk choosing Burton for her own royal wedding dress, and it became a worldwide sensation.
Taylor has been inspired by the Princess of Wales before, so it would not be surprising if she trusted Burton with her own gown. And now that Burton is at Givenchy, Taylor also has the entire Audrey Hepburn archive to be inspired by. Whatever she chooses, her wedding dress will be studied, copied and talked about just like a royal bridal moment.
