Since then I’ve tried to meet and thank as many people as I could who have given me the chance to chase this insane dream. Here we are all these years later and a hundred times that many people showed up for me this week. I have 4 million thank you’s I want to send to the fans, and 4 million reasons to feel even more proud of this album than I already was," Swift wrote.

In his October 20 blog, Perez Hilton discussed a report by the Daily Mail. Hilton stated that multiple sources told the outlet that Taylor Swift had reportedly offered a couple $150,000 to change their wedding date. As per the report, the couple booked The Breakers mansion in Newport, Rhode Island for June 13 next year. Swift reportedly offered to pay for their wedding and honeymoon just to change their date.

Perez Hilton mentioned that the venue is an "1895 mansion with 70 rooms" and is located only 40 miles away from Swift's Holiday House. He added that this venue would be perfect for her family members wanting to attend her marriage.

The blogger reported that another rumor on the internet was that Swift and Kelce would be marrying at the Ocean House Hotel, which is also in the neighborhood of the singer. However, Perez Hilton noted that these were only rumors and the singer would not risk letting details leak like this. He assumed that Swift would probably sign NDAs.

"No solid, concrete evidence… but definitely a fun theory! That said, we can’t imagine Taylor would risk anything getting out like this! Especially after seeing her bestie Selena Gomez‘s wedding deets get leaked. We would expect the Actually Romantic singer to go all out with those NDAs!" Hilton wrote.
