According to the Daily Mail, the former “The Voice” mentor is expected to take a more traditional approach and may take the NFL champ’s last name after the nuptials.
“Professionally, she’ll always be Taylor Swift,” a source told the outlet. “The name has become one of the biggest brands in entertainment, and there’s really no reason to change that.”
