Remember that rumor that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were set to be wed on June 13 at a venue near her beach house in Rhode Island? Well, that’s officially been disproven as the couple opted to spend their June 13 seeing Oh, Mary! instead of getting hitched.
Swift and Kelce took in the early show on Saturday evening, sitting in the orchestra section to watch Maya Rudolph play Mary Todd Lincoln in Cole Escola’s hit play. It seems like they liked it, or at least Swift did. She was filmed leading the audience in a standing ovation and jumping up and down when Rudolph came out for her bow. I would love to know what Kelce thought. I assume it was something like, Yo, that was maaaad funny. I didn’t know all that stuff about Abe Lincoln.
Afterward, Swift and Kelce took photos with the cast, which Oh, Mary! posted on Instagram with the original lyrics to “Picture to Burn” (“So go and tell your friends that I’m obsessive and crazy / That’s fine, I’ll tell mine you’re gay”). There are few lines in the tradition of American songwriting that are more fitting for Oh, Mary!, but, alas, they later changed the caption to read “Thank you for supporting the American Theatre, Taylor and Travis. It was an HONOR to have you with us 💛” Boring!
Thanks to this outing, it looks like it’s full steam ahead for a Tayvis wedding on July 3 at Madison Square Garden. That is probably for the best. Imagine you’re trying to have the biggest wedding of the decade and everyone is trying to watch the NBA Finals. I’d be pissed. This way, Swift is only competing for attention with America’s 250th birthday — that’s basically a walk in the park by comparison.
