In Taylor Swift’s beach town, every clue becomes a wedding rumor

WESTERLY, R.I. (AP) — When a large tent appeared next door to Taylor Swift’s Watch Hill estate this week, it didn’t take long for speculation about the superstar’s impending nuptials to ripple through the affluent New England seaside village — and the internet.
Soon, fans were swapping theories online, photographers were staking out vantage points and residents found themselves fielding questions about a wedding that never was. Or at least, a wedding that seems yet to happen.
The rumors, so far, have proved unfounded. But they offered a glimpse into life in Watch Hill, the Rhode Island beach community in the town of Westerly, close to the Connecticut border, where Swift has owned a home for more than a decade and where curiosity about the singer has become woven into everyday life.
Rumors take hold
From the nearby lighthouse, visitors craned for a better view of Swift’s mansion, a sprawling white home perched atop a rocky bluff overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Security cameras dotted the property, and a guard called out to visitors who strayed too close.
Wedding planner Nicole Simeral, dressed in black, stood outside the small white chapel across from the massive yellow Ocean House hotel — Swift’s neighbor on the beach — waving along cars and buses that slowed and directing traffic to keep moving.
She watched visitors speculate about a wedding she said she knew wasn’t Swift’s. She’s working a different wedding every weekend in June in that spot. Still, the questions kept coming.
“Is Taylor Swift getting married here? Many, many, many have asked,” Simeral said.
She said there had been “a lot of chitter chatter” as people tried to connect sightings of people who know Swift in local shops to impending nuptials. But she doubted Watch Hill would be practical for a wedding of that scale because of its limited luxury lodging.
The Watch Hill rumors also dovetailed with separate online speculation that Swift and her fiance, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, were planning a celebration at Madison Square Garden, though no details about the pair’s wedding have been released, despite multiple requests for comment to Swift’s spokesperson.
The tent itself, Simeral said, was hardly unusual. “Next weekend, there’ll be another tent just like this.”
For two summers, Westerly Police Department community service officer Nick Quaratella has stood at the entrance to a public path leading to the beach beside Swift’s estate, answering questions from beachgoers and keeping traffic moving.
“They come to the beach, but then they also ask if she’s here or not,” Quaratella said.
He said he can’t help but joke around with some fans.
“I’ll say, ‘Oh, did you hear that she moved?’” he said. “And they’ll say, ‘No.’ And I say, ‘Yeah, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson moved in.’ And they’ll go, ‘Oh, really?’ and then they’ll walk away.”
“That’s pretty funny,” he concluded.
Over the years, he’s seen plenty of unusual reactions. His coworker once spotted a fan on their knees, bowing toward the entrance gate near the property. Visitors have shouted “I love you, Taylor!” from the roadside. One woman convinced her granddaughter he was Swift’s security guard and posed for a photo with him.
Quaratella has fielded a few questions about the supposed wedding, but not as many as he expected.
“At this point, it’s part of my job,” he said. “It makes me smile. It makes me laugh. I have no problem with it. It makes the day go by.”
Living with Taylor Swift
Down near a strip of beach boutiques, lifelong resident Lauren Nigrelli said the frenzy surrounding the star has eased since Swift first moved into the neighborhood in 2013. Back then, Nigrelli recalled, fans would drive around in circles by her shop playing Swift’s songs.
“Things have definitely calmed down since then,” she said.
Today, Swift’s presence remains a fixture among local businesses in what she described as a “quaint New England coastal community.” Nigrelli, a Realtor who owns the boutiques Tide and Tide Kids, said she began selling apparel emblazoned with “Holiday House,” the nickname associated with Swift’s mansion, after children began coming into the store asking for it. On Saturday, she was also selling a Taylor Swift-Travis Kelce wedding sticker book.
“I think every shop has something related to her,” Nigrelli said.
On the beach below the mansion, Audrey and John Curtis, a married couple from Connecticut who have been vacationing in Westerly for years, settled into beach chairs and debated the wedding rumors.
“We were just looking up at her house,” Audrey Curtis said, pointing toward the mansion. “She’s not getting married here now, though.”
Curtis said she had heard various theories, including speculation that a wedding might be held at Ocean House. But as she thought through the logistics, she became skeptical.
“Then I was thinking about, ‘How would everybody get here?’” she said. “In New York, you’ve got JFK, you’ve got LaGuardia, and she’s got two penthouses in New York that she combined, so I figured they could obviously have more people there.”
Her husband wasn’t so sure.
“They could lie and say it’s happening there, but it’s happening here,” John Curtis said. “When important people do things, they don’t want people to know.”

James Burrows, legendary director of ‘Cheers’ and ‘Friends,’ dies at 85

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Beloved Hollywood director, James Burrows, died on Friday at the age of 85.
Burrows’ family confirmed the actor’s death in a statement to People magazine, The Associated Press reported, saying they are celebrating “the extraordinary life and enduring legacy,” of the director, who “passed away peacefully today surrounded by his loving family.”
“For more than five decades, Burrows was one of the most influential and beloved directors in television history,” the statement read. “As a legendary director, mentor, and creative force, he helped shape generations of comedy and brought immeasurable joy to audiences around the world.”
The statement then highlighted his “unparalleled career,” as he directed over “1,000 episodes of television and was instrumental in creating some of the most iconic series ever produced.”
‘CHEERS’ STAR GEORGE WENDT’S CAUSE OF DEATH REVEALED
Often referred to as the “king of the multi-cam sitcom,” Burrows had his big break in the industry when he directed episodes of “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” which led to him becoming one of the principal directors of “Taxi,” which earned him his first two Emmy Awards.
He then went on to co-create the hit sitcom, “Cheers,” and directed all but 35 of the 275 episodes of the show. His work on the show earned him six Emmy Awards throughout its run.
“But beyond his remarkable achievements, Burrows will be remembered for something even greater: his kindness, generosity, and unwavering belief in the people around him,” the statement continued. “He possessed a rare ability to make everyone better and was known for remembering every person he met by name, making colleagues at every level feel seen, valued, and appreciated.”
Burrows also directed the pilot and key episodes of “Friends,” as well as every episode of “Will & Grace,” and as one of Hollywood’s most sought-after sitcom directors worked on “Two and a Half Men,” “The Big Band Theory,” “Two Broke Girls,” “Frasier” and many others.
“Burrows understood that great comedy was never simply about laughter. It was about humanity, connection, and truth. That understanding became the foundation of a career that forever changed television,” his family wrote in their statement to People. “His influence will continue to be felt for generations through the countless artists he inspired, the stories he helped tell, and the millions of people whose lives were brightened by his work.”
“Above all else, Burrows was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather,” the statement concluded. “He is survived by his beloved wife, Debbie, his four daughters, and his seven grandchildren. He will be profoundly missed and forever remembered. Our thoughts are with Debbie, his children and grandchildren, his family, friends, collaborators, and all those whose lives he touched. May his memory be a blessing.”
JAMES VAN DER BEEK’S CO-STARS FLOOD SOCIAL MEDIA WITH HEARTBREAKING TRIBUTES FOLLOWING HIS DEATH AT 48
Throughout his career, Burrows earned 11 Emmy Awards and five Directors’ Guild Awards, and was inducted into the Television Hall of Fame in 2006.
Upon learning of his death, many actors who worked with him throughout their careers, including Jennifer Aniston and Debra Messing, paid tribute to Burrows on social media.

Messing shared a series of photos from their time together on “Will & Grace” on Instagram, and in the caption called him “A singular talent and revolutionary in television.”
“I can’t express the pain of his loss, and I know that is true for everyone who was lucky enough to be loved by him,” she wrote in part. “Jimmy changed my life 28 years ago and has been in my life ever since. He had a dry sense of humor but exploded in laughter when he orchestrated comic moments that landed. I wanted his laughs most of all.”
Aniston, who he directed on “Friends,” referred to him as “Papa Burrows” in her Instagram tribute, adding, “The hardest thing about writing this is that you spent a lifetime making people feel loved, and now it feels impossible to put all of that love into a few paragraphs.”

“He was a father figure to me. He always checked in on me,” she wrote in part. “He worried about me, celebrated me, taught me, guided me, and held me through the hardest times and the best of times. He spoiled us rotten. Most of all, he taught us—the kids—how important it is to love and respect one another. To take care of each other. To have each other’s backs and support each other, no matter what. And we did just that.”

Burrows is survived by his wife, Debbie, who he married in 1997, and his four daughters, Katherine, Margaret and Ellie, who he shared with his first wife, Linda Solomon, and Paris, who is Debbie’s daughter from a previous relationship. He also leaves behind seven grandchildren.

Carrie Underwood shares patriotic American flag display at Tennessee home

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Carrie Underwood is proud to be an American.
The 43-year-old country singer recently took to Instagram to share a video of her driving past a large fence adorned with American flags throughout the length of the property.
“I can’t believe I get to live here. Thank you, Lord. #GodBlessAmerica #Grateful #TN,” she captioned the post.
Fans in the comments section were just as inspired by the display of patriotism, with one saying a similar display they saw at Eric Trump’s Trump Winery in Virginia “actually brought tears to my eyes. So patriotic. ”

“I feel the same way! Thank You, Lord for bringing us here,” another fan wrote, while a third added, “Beautiful and patriotically stunning! So proud.”
“Oh my gosh. I hope others that served like me get to see this post,” another fan wrote. “If those flags reflect your appreciation for your freedom, that display makes the stuff I’ve experienced a little less painful. Thank you, Carrie. Thanks to Mike and the boys, too.”

Underwood showed her patriotism in January 2025, when she performed “America the Beautiful” in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda during the inauguration of President Donald Trump.
She avoided an awkward moment when the music cut out ahead of her performance, leading her to tell the crowd, “You know the words, help me out here,” and singing it a cappella.

“I love our country and am honored to have been asked to sing at the inauguration and to be a small part of this historic event,” Underwood said in a statement. “I am humbled to answer the call at a time when we must all come together in the spirit of unity and looking to the future.”
The announcement was met with mixed reactions, with some, such as “The View’s” Joy Behar, criticizing her decision, and others defending it.
During an interview with Fox News Digital at the time, Lee Greenwood came to her defense, saying, “She will do a great job singing at the Capitol with ‘America the Beautiful.’”
“I’ll sing before the President takes his oath,” he added. “She will sing after. And just the moment will be magic. For those people who have something negative to say, I say keep it to yourself. Don’t attack a friend of mine who is here for the same reason as I am to inaugurate the 47th President of the United States.”

Underwood rose to fame in 2005, as the season four winner of “American Idol.”
