Taylor Swiftis skipping traditional save the dates and doing things her own way ... 'cause TMZ has learned she is personally calling celeb friends to give them a heads up about her upcoming wedding to Travis Kelce.

Our sources say the direct outreach is all about keeping the ceremony tightly under wraps and avoiding any potential leaks before the big day.
It's true, printed "save the dates" or invitations do tend to end up going public, but T-Swift's going the extra mile.

Jacob is a self-described "whiny Gen Zer" ... and he's picking up the battle cry of booting old folks from Congress ... but 87-year-old Rep. Maxine Waters doesn't see it that way.
Our TMZ DC guy ran into the Congresswoman from L.A. Thursday, and asked if she'd be down with an age limit on people who serve in the nation's Capitol.

Jacob then upped the stakes by asking about our current Prez, who turns 80 in 1 month. Well, that triggered Waters big time ... as she launched into all the reasons why he shouldn't be in the Oval.
But our DC man pressed her, and she clearly doesn't think 80 is automatically too old to be Commander in Chief. And then Jacob said, what about 100?
