The drama around Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding photos and finding the source of the leak continues. But now the pop star is being urged to “take control” with a move that no one will expect.

The couple tied the knot at Madison Square on July 3 and went to extreme measures to keep what occurred inside under wraps. They reportedly had their more than 1,000 guests sign NDAs and shelled out millions for private security. It was also reported that all of the “Shake It Off” singer and the NFL star’s wedding décor was burned so there wouldn’t be anything people could steal and sell or auction off. But still photos from inside the venue were leaked.


“There’s almost nothing in Taylor’s life that’s not public domain—she really just wanted this one special day to belong to them,” an insider close to the pair previously stated. “That’s why she and Travis went to such enormous lengths to keep it all so private, so the fact that people are poring over every detail and passing judgment is crushing. It’s a huge betrayal.

“The suspicion is that someone working at Madison Square Garden or on the production side sold them out, but [Taylor] wants to be certain—and until then, she’s asking questions of everyone who had access. That’s making things uncomfortable even for her friends, because she’s so on edge about who she can trust. She’s not ruling out bringing in private investigators if that’s what it takes.”

A source has now told Heat World that many people in Swift’s circle are advising her to “take back control” of the situation and actually release the wedding pictures herself. That way, even if more details are leaked, they won’t be an issue, and it would delight Swifties everywhere by giving them a glimpse into the star’s big day. But Swift is hesitant to do that.

“A lot of people in her world are saying that she should take back control of this and just release everything,” the source said, adding, “That way it would be pointless for anyone else to leak stuff. And, of course, her fans would be absolutely thrilled. That’s not something she wants to do at this point, but who knows, if these leaks don’t stop, she may end up changing her mind.

“It would at least give her a sense of ownership over all of this again, which is always empowering. Heck, she could probably make back everything they spent on the wedding, and then some, if she put together some sort of home-movie-style documentary about the big day and released it in theaters or on streaming. Things are getting out there anyway, so a lot of people are saying, why not capitalize on it?”

Some initially believed that Swift would share some photos herself shortly after the big day that would give a peek at her dress. But instead of any images, her publicist released a statement about what the bride and groom wore, revealing, “[Their] wedding ceremony looks have been created by Christian Dior Haute Couture. They are designed by Jonathan Anderson, Creative Director of Dior Women’s, Men’s, and Haute Couture Collections … Their shoes were custom-made by Christian Louboutin, and the bride wore Cartier jewelry.”
