Rhode Island locals are eager to host Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's forthcoming wedding ... RI State Representative Brian Patrick Kennedy tells TMZ.

The local politician tells TMZ ... he hasn't heard whether or not Swelce plans to have their nuptials in the Ocean State, but he's hopeful it happens ... given the star-studded wedding could bring serious business to his constituents.

Per Rep. Kennedy, the wedding would be great for the state's economy, as Tay and Trav's celeb friends would likely flock to the area and spend big bucks ... on everything from housing to restaurants to entertainment.

Taylor Swift was right by Travis Kelce's side as he toasted his new venture -- the soft opening of his steakhouse, which he co-owns with Patrick Mahomes -- turning the night into a celebration of both business and love.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... the couple arrived hand in hand to 1587 Prime Steakhouse around 6:15 PM Monday, making their way up the grand staircase before greeting family and friends. Once inside, they tucked into a semi-private corner booth, where things stayed low-key but affectionate.

Taylor wore in a blue denim mid-thigh dress paired with wedges, her hair swept to the side, while Travis kept it casual in a green striped shirt and cap. We're told the two acted like any normal couple -- laughing with his teammates, trading quick kisses, and flashing smiles across the room whenever they drifted apart.

Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce's new restaurant isn't just about good eats -- it'll also give fans a chance to drink like the NFL superstars AND their lovely ladies ... thanks to signature cocktails in honor of the Chiefs besties, Taylor Swift and Brittany!!

The 1587 Prime steakhouse is gearing up for its grand opening next week in Kansas City, Missouri ... and the eatery features a detailed interior, a menu personally taste-tested by Mahomes and Kelce themselves -- and four drinks inspired by the famous couples.

TMZ Sports has learned Mahomes' signature drink, "Showtime," is a mix of aged rum blend with coconut, Coors Light syrup, lime and soda.

The NFL is back ... and the wives and girlfriends (and one VERY famous fiancée) are all ready to catch their men in action!!

The 2025 season brings big names like Ciara, Cardi B and Normani -- CiCi is happily married to Giants quarterback Russell Wilson, the rapper is seeing Patriots receiver Stefon Diggs and the Fifth Harmony member is engaged to Steelers pass catcher DK Metcalf.

Taylor Swift will see much more TV time this season (sorry, haters) -- she got engaged to Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce last month.

Bill Maher says cops should be royally pissed off at Donald Trump for essentially telling them they do a crappy job, so they have to send in reinforcements.

The 'Real Time' host was on fire Friday night, calling out all the cops who largely support 47, telling them to open their eyes and see what Trump is really doing.

Bill says law enforcement -- 750,000 strong in the U.S. -- has been doing its job for years, and yes, there's a crime problem everywhere, but calling in the National Guard is in many ways disrespectful to police because Trump is kinda calling them incompetent.

Selena Gomez couldn't be happier for her "bestie" Taylor Swift getting engaged to Travis Kelce ... gushing on social media to show her excitement.

The actress took to her IG story to re-share the viral shot of Travis down on one knee looking up at Taylor in a garden ... writing, "When bestie gets engaged" coupled with a heart-face emoji.

Selena chose the perfect song to match her mood ... playing Queen's "You're My Best Friend" over the pic.

While Taylor Swift was getting rings, Kayla Nicole was closing her Apple Watch ones ... hitting the gym hard after the world's biggest pop star revealed she had gotten engaged to Travis Kelce.

Kayla -- who dated the Kansas City Chiefs star for roughly five years before he moved on with Swift -- was seen grinding in the weight room just hours after her former man revealed to the world he's slated to wed his famous GF.

Kayla got in some thrusters, some bent-over rows, a few lat pulldowns and some core work ... clearly looking to sweat off the day's biggest news.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are continuing to feel the love from their celebrity peers ... with both Gracie Abrams and Lil Wayne separately taking moments to congratulate the couple onstage.

Hours after Taylor and Travis shared with the world that they're now engaged, Gracie -- who opened for T Swift on her global "Eras" tour -- took the stage in Mexico City and encouraged her fans to shout "Congratulations" to the happy pair.

After getting an enthusiastic response from the crowd, Gracie noted it felt like Taylor was with them in spirit ... and urged concert attendees to sing out Taylor's part in their hit song, "Us."

"I ain't going to lie," he said, "she's the biggest pop star in this generation. So, it's crazy to have somebody running around the house screaming, 'We drafted you.'"

Travis Kelce's Kansas City Chiefs teammates' jaws were on the floor when they realized he was REALLY dating Taylor Swift ... with Chris Jones and Patrick Mahomes admitting they were stunned when the pop superstar showed up to her first game.

The topic came up in the new "The Kingdom" documentary that dropped on Thursday ... which broke down the Pro Bowl tight end's journey from publicly shooting his shot on his "New Heights" podcast to landing a full-on relationship with the musician.

The program featured interviews with Chiefs staffers who got the heads up about Swift's plans to attend the Week 3 matchup with the Chicago Bears back in 2023 ... and as Jones put it, even the players were in disbelief.

Check out the new clip that dropped from Wednesday's highly anticipated "New Heights" episode -- after Jason gives the pop star one heck of an introduction by laying out a long list of her accomplishments ... she takes a 'Fearless' jab by calling out all the NFL fans who absolutely despise her presence at Kansas City Chiefs games.

She quips ... "I think we all know that if there's one thing that male sports fans wanna see in their spaces and on their screens, it's more of me."
