In a shocking revelation, it appears that pop sensation Taylor Swift has been planning her dream wedding for nearly 13 years - and it's not even with her current fiancé Travis Kelce! In an explosive interview with Cosmopolitan back in December 2012, the now-35-year-old singer dished out her expectations from her future husband.

It all began in 2012 when Taylor Swift was still riding high on the success of her album "Red". In an interview with Cosmopolitan, she revealed the kind of partner she wanted to spend the rest of her life with: someone who shared her passions and dreams.

"I want to build a life with someone that's based on their dreams as well as my dreams," Taylor explained. "I don't want it to just be like, 'So, I have a scrapbook. In it, I put all the fabric swatches of the wedding dress I'm going to wear. I also have a tuxedo I picked out of a catalog that you'll wear.'"

The singer made it clear that she didn't want her partner to feel like an afterthought in the planning process. She envisioned a collaborative effort where both parties were equally involved.

"I don't want him to wonder if it even matters if he's there," Taylor said, her words dripping with sincerity. "I think that the idea of finding another person to share your life with is the most fascinating, beautiful quest you could ever be on in life."

But what about the role of a partner in supporting one's dreams? Taylor Swift had some profound thoughts on the subject.

"Living your dreams is so important too, and a lot of times I've put that before everything else," she stated. "But then you get to a place where the whole time you're living these dreams, you look beside you to say to someone, 'Hey, isn't this so much fun?!' And if there's no one there to say it to, what's the point?"

As fans know, Taylor Swift has always been passionate about her music and career. But did you know that she's also a devoted future mother? In the same interview, she revealed her aspirations of having children.

"Being a mom full-time, doing everything for my kids, having a bunch of them. One day, I'm sure," she said with conviction. "But that's the only other thing that could be as thrilling for me as doing this [career]."

Fast-forward to 2023, and Taylor Swift is now engaged to NFL superstar Travis Kelce. In a joint Instagram post announcing their engagement, they captioned it: "He considered everything about what she'd like and want, and he paid attention to the jewelry she wears often for inspiration."
