Taylor Swift's Wedding Rhode Island Cops In The Dark

Published | Updated

All signs are starting to point away from a potential Taylor Swift wedding in Rhode Island ... because cops in the Ocean State tell us they're not aware of a big event going down at venues linked to Taylor and Travis Kelce.

There's a buzz about Taylor and Travis getting hitched in Rhode Island, in one of 2 places -- Ocean House resort in Westerly or Taylor's estate in the same town -- but cops in Westerly say that's news to them.

Westerly Police Department Chief Paul Gingerella tells TMZ ... neither cops nor the town have been involved with or aware of any weddings involving Taylor and Travis during the dates in question.

For context, the chief says police were involved with Olivia Culpo's wedding a couple of years ago at Ocean House -- so, it makes sense he'd be notified about Travis and Taylor's big day -- but, he tells us his force is not currently involved in any wedding plans or security.

STOP THE POCKET WATCHING!!!

Spencer Pratt is firing back at folks who think he's bad with money ... and he's defending his much younger self for blowing through $10 million.

Spencer was on the "No Jumper" podcast when he took aim at critics bashing him for spending his own money back in the day ... saying every dollar he spent came from his "The Hills" paydays.

Spencer's running for Los Angeles mayor at 42 ... but when he was in his 20s, he says his life goals were much different ... get rich, get famous, and build an empire like Kim Kardashian.

Spencer says he never expected the reality TV gravy train to come to a screeching halt, so he wasn't treating the money like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Plus, as he points out, he wasn't spending anyone else's money but his own ... and definitely wasn't touching taxpayer dollars.
