Croatia is Already a Honeymoon Favorite for Taylor & Travis: and here’s why

With global headlines speculating where Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce will honeymoon, one destination continues to rise to the top: Croatia. As Travis and Jason mentioned Croatian roots a couple of times so far, and with that, as Taylor adores leaving Easter eggs for her fans all around her, did they hint that Croatia is their honeymoon destination? Some Swifties think so!

The Croatia National Tourist Board is thrilled by the buzz and ready to share why the country might just be the ultimate choice for the world’s most-watched popular couple.

Croatia is more than a beautiful backdrop. It embodies every part of the wedding tradition: something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue. It is a place that ties together Travis’s ancestral roots, Taylor’s love for iconic and inspiring settings (sunrises and sunsets), and the kind of romance only the Adriatic can offer.

Something Old: Travis’s Croatian Roots
On their New Heights podcast on August 13th, Travis and Jason Kelce restated a family discovery: their maternal line goes back seven generations to a small village in Croatia, Vele Drage in Brod Moravice. For Travis, the thought of saying vows on ancestral soil would be more than a destination wedding; it would be a homecoming. This isn’t a glossy backdrop chosen by a wedding planner. It is history. It is heart.. It is something old that actually means something. An old era from his family’s history to their own new life era.

Something New: Taylor’s Taste for Iconic Surprises

Taylor doesn’t do predictable. When she escapes, she chooses places with identity: her seaside mansion in Rhode Island, her apartment on Cornelia Street that feels like a character in its own story and even has its own song. She gravitates toward locations that inspire her aesthetics and lyrics. And if Croatia could speak to Taylor, it might start with her own words: “Nice to meet you, where you been? I could show you incredible things.” Because that is exactly what the country offers: a mix of the unexpected and the unforgettable. 

Something Borrowed: Dubrovnik’s Folklore, August Aesthetic

Swifties remember: back in September 2021, rumors circulated that Taylor spent time in Dubrovnik, the Game of Thrones icon turned real-life fairytale city. If any place could double as an August set, it is this one. Ancient stone walls feel straight out of a lyric. Candlelit alleys seem to beg for a secret rendezvous. And the sunsets? More dramatic than a Travis Kelce Eras Tour cameo. Dubrovnik is a city where you can already picture it: high heels on cobblestones, sunsets over the Adriatic, and a love story worthy of her Wildest Dreams. Borrowing Dubrovnik’s medieval aura for a wedding would not just be symbolic; it would be iconic. The kind of backdrop that would live rent-free in Swiftie history forever.

Something Blue: The Adriatic (and a Lavender Haze)

The Adriatic is a love story all its own, where “something blue” is not a detail but the entire scene, wrapping you in shades from turquoise to sapphire. From Dubrovnik’s cliffside drama to Dalmatia’s hidden coves, the sea itself whispers, “baby, just say yes.”

And then there is Hvar, the jewel of quiet luxury. Lavender fields roll like verses from Taylor’s own Lavender Haze, stone villas rise with centuries of grace, and secret coves hold their mysteries. It is history dressed in elegance, the kind of place where a love story does not just happen, it is written.

The Verdict

For Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, Croatia would not be a surprise choice. It would be the natural one. With ancestral ties, cultural beauty, and romantic coastlines, the country brings together everything a couple could want for the start of a new era.

So for this moment, we borrow from Taylor herself and give her lyrics a wedding twist. From a love song to a legacy, the era ends not with a nice dress but with a white dress: “Say you’ll remember me, standing in a white dress, staring at the sunset, babe.” And as for which sunset? The Croatia National Tourist Board believes the Adriatic just might be the one.
