Netflix Plans Documentary Bid for Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce Wedding

Taylor Swift and NFL star Travis Kelce announced their engagement, sparking widespread interest including from Netflix, which reportedly aims to secure exclusive rights to their wedding and produce a documentary. Netflix has expressed having a substantial budget for the project, viewing the wedding as a major event and wanting to be at the forefront of the coverage. Swift has prior successful collaborations with Netflix, including her 2020 documentary "Miss Americana," while Kelce is expanding into entertainment with roles such as in Netflix's "Happy Gilmore 2" and a sitcom in development. This potential project is being compared to Netflix's ongoing relationship with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who have a multiyear deal and recent releases on the platform. Swift also plans to release a new album, "The Life of a Showgirl," which features songs inspired by her relationship with Kelce and is set to debut in October. The couple's rising presence in entertainment marks a significant crossover from sports and music into streaming media.
