Rumor has it that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are ironing out a pre-up ahead of theirs summer wedding.
Naturally, fans are eager for details. But who pays for what is boring when people have so much money.
Is it true that Taylor could be barred from swearing at him in song after a divorce?
Here’s everything we know so far.
Is there a preup?
According to reports, Taylor and Travis will have a prenup.
Many of their fellow millennials—even those without as much as 1% of Travis’ net worth, let alone Taylor’s—choose to get married because it gives them power over their own property, rather than subjecting them to the vagaries of how property division is handled under divorce law, wherever they happen to live.
In this case, we’re talking about a guy with a solid 8-figure (and growing) net worth and a billionaire musician.
Of course, Taylor and Travis don’t go public with their preup info — and haven’t officially confirmed it exists.
But online speculation about what the document may contain and exclude has taken off on social media like wildfire.
At this time, the prenup has not been leaked.
Given that the only people likely to have access to such a document would be Taylor, Travis and their extremely well-paid lawyers, we don’t expect that to change.
Speaking of lawyers, Page six spoke with Sarah Luetto. She does not represent either party, but her law firm deals extensively with marriage and family.
“Swift and Kelce may want to include terms that promote confidentiality and privacy,” Leutto noted.
“This may include non-disparagement or confidentiality terms related to their relationship,” she added.
Clauses commanding her to sing about him sounds like a non-starter
Most of the time, we think of prenuptial agreements as something related to money, property, and maybe custody of children or pets.
Rumors have suggested that Travis’ lawyer negotiating on his behalf may include a clause preventing Taylor from singing about their relationship in the event of a breakup.
Luetto warns that there are “some exceptions” to how enforceable certain provisions can be – even if both partners at the time agree to sign.
“In Taylor’s case, she probably wouldn’t want to include provisions restricting her from singing about her relationship in songs,” she reasoned.
Luetto explained, “Especially because there’s always so much speculation about the subjects of her songwriting.”
For years, prenups were used as a plot device on television—most often as a way for a rich man’s evil family to make sure a main character doesn’t steal their fortune despite stealing their son’s heart.
In reality, they are a solid way to ensure that both parties agree on who gets, for example, an heirloom piece of jewelry or an expensive passion project in the event of a divorce. If the pre-eruption is performed in the right way, ie.
The right way for a prenup to come about involves lawyers for both parties. In case of difference in assets, it pays the amount of money for both. The lawyers work out the arrangement based on their clients’ wishes and ensure that divorce does not mean that either party is robbed – or poor.
Most places have laws that more or less allow for fair sharing for most couples. But why take that chance?
While Taylor and Travis iron out the final details before their weddingpre-up is probably not their biggest concern. And in the absence of concrete evidence, it probably shouldn’t worry Swifties either.
