Taylor Swift could still sing about Travis Kelce despite a prenuptial NDA

• A lawyer says Swift and Kelce's prenup could include an NDA barring them from discussing their marriage
• Swift would likely protect her right to write and perform songs about their relationship in any agreement
• The billionaire pop star may be responsible for covering Kelce's living expenses after their wedding
  

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce could be prohibited from publicly discussing their marriage under a prenuptial non-disclosure agreement — though the pop star would likely retain the right to write and perform songs about their relationship.

Attorney Sarah Luetto, a partner in Blank Rome's Matrimonial & Family Law Group, spoke exclusively with Page Six about what a potential prenuptial agreement between the couple could entail. Luetto does not represent either party.

Confidentiality and non-disclosure provisions

"Swift and Kelce may wish to include terms fostering confidentiality and privacy," Luetto told Page Six. "This may include non-disparagement or non-disclosure terms related to their relationship."

However, she noted that there are "some exceptions" to the enforceability of such provisions under the law.

"In Taylor's case, she would likely not want to include provisions limiting her from singing about her relationship in songs, particularly since there is always so much speculation about the subjects of her songwriting," Luetto said.

Swift is well known for drawing on her personal relationships in her music, including several songs about Kelce on her 2025 album The Life of a Showgirl, as well as pointed lyrics about former partners Joe Alwyn and Matt Healy on 2024's The Tortured Poet's Society.

Protecting creative work and intellectual property

Luetto also noted that celebrities frequently use prenuptial agreements to define and limit what constitutes marital or community property, particularly to "avoid future claims to their creative work."

"Particularly when it comes to sequels and prior projects," she explained. "For example, if Taylor had re-recorded one of her albums during marriage, there would be an argument that the re-record was partially a marital asset."

An NDA incorporated into the prenup could also prevent both Swift and Kansas City Chiefs star Kelce from disclosing the terms of their agreement to anyone beyond their respective legal representatives and accountants involved in its execution or any future dissolution proceedings.

"Similarly, they may include terms requiring mediation or, in states where permitted, the use of a private judge for any dissolution proceedings," Luetto said, adding: "For a high-profile couple like Swift and Kelce, privacy provisions of this nature would be particularly valuable in shielding the details of any potential dispute from public scrutiny."

Swift may cover Kelce's living expenses

With the billionaire Grammy winner holding a considerably higher net worth than the millionaire NFL star, Swift could find herself responsible for covering his living costs following the wedding.

"When one party is worth significantly more than the other, prenuptial agreements frequently provide that the wealthier party will pay all of the couple's living expenses while the less wealthy party preserves their separate estate," Luetto explained.

Some agreements are also structured so that the wealthier partner gifts or transmutes a portion of their estate to the community or to the other party's separate property.

This would allow "each party to maintain investments and assets during the marriage," Luetto noted, adding: "The amounts transmuted or gifted often increase over time, reflecting the duration of the marriage."

Separate estates almost certain

In the case of this high-profile couple, Luetto said it is unlikely they would merge their estates upon marriage.

"Given the complexities of their respective estates — and the lengths Swift has gone to in order to buy back her masters and protect her music catalog — it is likely that any prenuptial agreement would keep their respective estates entirely separate, regardless of any efforts made by either party to enhance the other's estate during the marriage," she said.

The couple could, however, include provisions allowing them to enter into joint ventures during the marriage, with ownership interests in any jointly held assets clarified on a case-by-case basis.

Choice-of-law provisions across multiple states

Given that both Swift and Kelce own multiple properties across different US states, the pair could also include "choice-of-law provisions" — clauses that specify which jurisdiction's laws would apply in the event of a future dispute.

Swift owns homes in New York, Rhode Island, Tennessee and Los Angeles, whilst Kelce holds properties in Leawood, Kansas, Missouri and Florida.

Kelce proposed to Swift in August 2025 after two years together. A source told Page Six that the couple are expected to wed this summer in New York City.
