A source said: “Netflix has reached out to unscripted production companies following Taylor’s engagement.
“The streaming giant has told them that there is a substantial budget for a Taylor and Travis documentary.
“The wedding will be a huge moment and Netflix wants to be at the forefront of that.
“It is also planning a bid for exclusive access to the wedding.”
On Tuesday, Taylor posted online, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married”, sharing five snaps from the engagement in a walled garden full of her favourite roses.
Jewel in the crown
In one pic, Travis is seen down on one knee with Taylor cradling his head, accompanied by her track So High School.
The song, which featured on her last album, The Tortured Poets Department, was written about Taylor falling in love with the Kansas City Chiefs tight end.
The singer’s Miss Americana documentary, released on Netflix in 2020 and directed by American filmmaker Lana Wilson, followed her performances as a teen and her 2018 Reputation Stadium Tour, along with writing 2019 album Lover.
Taylor also collaborated with Netflix on a concert film, recorded in Texas on the same tour and released on New Year’s Eve 2018.
With a new album and an engagement, a documentary would be the jewel in the crown for this pop princess.
RYLAN IN A SPIN WITH FAIRGROUND LOVER
RYLAN CLARK has found love with a hunky fairground showman.
The TV presenter has been quietly dating a rides director for several months and has introduced the mystery man to his friends and family.
It is Rylan’s first serious relationship since his divorce in 2021 after six years of marriage.
A source said: “This new man has certainly put a smile back on Rylan’s face and they have been enjoying spending lots of time together.
“Rylan’s friends and family have all met him and they’ve been attending lots of gigs together this summer, including Oasis.
“They’re inseparable.
“They make a lovely couple.”
Kennedy, who used to man the waltzers, is now one of the top dogs at Billy Bates & Sons funfair in Leicester.
The blossoming romance comes after Rylan – who is fronting the second series of Dating Naked UK on Paramount Plus – recently opened up about his personal life on his How To Be In Love podcast.
He said: “At this time I’m very happy.
“Recently I have gotten into a relationship and it’s great and it feels very different to anything I’ve had before, which is a good sign to me.
“It’s the first person I’ve met in four years that I’ve introduced to my family.
“I’ve been so blatant about it no one’s noticed, just because of my job I don’t want to miss out.
“I’m loving what I’ve got at the minute and I want to keep it that way.”
I’m so pleased for Rylan, who is one of the most genuine guys in showbiz.
HELEN HAS A RAYA HOPE IN SEARCH FOR A FELLA
HELEN FLANAGAN has signed up to a celebrity dating app after splitting from her boyfriend Robbie Talbot.
The former Coronation Street star has revamped her profile on Raya following her break-up with the ex-non-league footballer in May, describing herself as an “actress and social media star”.
Manchester-born Helen, who has 1.1million followers on Instagram, reveals that she is based in London and includes a snap of her wearing a blue lingerie set, posing alongside a giant bunny rabbit.
The star – best known for playing Rosie Webster on Corrie between 2000 and 2012, before returning in 2017 for a brief stint – has also included a picture from a recent photoshoot with OK! magazine, in which she dazzles in a green swimsuit.
Sharing the snap on Instagram this week, Helen wrote: “A bad b***h one to start the week.”
Other images on her profile include a sultry snap in a plunging red dress and a pic of her in a bar.
The Sun on Sunday revealed in May that Helen had split from Robbie, just over a year after they started dating.
A source said: “They want different things in life.
“She has just landed a new acting job and is trying to juggle work projects with the kids.
“She sat him down two weeks ago and said, ‘This isn’t working’.
“It was a grown-up chat.
“She just wants to be on her own for a while, although she still has feelings for him.”
Helen split from footballer Scott Sinclair, dad of her three kids, in 2022.
She met divorced dad Robbie in a bar as she was about to go on E4 series Celebs Go Dating.
However, Helen had to admit that she had a secret boyfriend during filming for the show.
She confessed: “I actually could see something with this guy.
“I think I am in love with him.”

POP starlet and actress Becky G may be modelling a gymwear line – but she still has an appetite.
The stunning singer tucks into some oranges and a lolly as she poses in Fabletics workout gear.
Becky likes to look her best when hitting the weights and working up a sweat.
She said: “How you dress is how you feel, it’s a form of expression.
“So, when I go to the gym, I want to feel my best self, and to feel supported.
“I’m wearing Fabletics to the gym, the grocery store, at home when I’m going in on Sunday cleaning.
“That ability to go really anywhere in these clothes is something that I really appreciate.”
NATIONAL TREASURES

OASIS and Taylor Swift may be poles apart when it comes to their music.
But The National frontman Matt Berninger reckons they both connect with their fans in the same way.
Speaking to Biz on Sunday’s Emily backstage in London following the screening of 2013 documentary Mistaken For Strangers – about life on the road with The National – Matt said of the Oasis comeback: “To hear how everyone in the place is so connected . . . Taylor is the only other person, I think, that can do that scale. Taylor and Oasis.”
Mistaken For Strangers was filmed by Matt’s younger brother Tom Berninger, who joined them on the road for their 2010 tour.
Matt, who released his new solo album, Get Sunk, in May, said he can relate to Noel and Liam Gallagher‘s “cantankerous relationship”.
He added: “I have become more of a fan over the years because of the brother tension. Mistaken For Strangers works because of all that brotherly tension.”
Meanwhile, Matt revealed that The National gained a whole new fanbase after Tay called them her favourite band.
Their guitarist Aaron Dessner has also worked with her. Matt said: “It has kind of created a wormhole of new fans and that’s been really, really incredible.”
SUNDAY SETLIST
WELCOME to our new TikTok feature Sunday Setlist where we ask your favourite artists burning questions, from what’s on their playlist to the secret meanings behind their tattoos . . .
Aussie singer Guy Sebastian would be honoured to join The Voice UK – after quitting the Australian version last year.
Guy admits he would love to follow in the footsteps of US singer Leann Rimes, who has been a coach Down Under on The Voice as well as the British version.
He said: “LeAnn is such a legend who has had worldwide smashes so that would be a gig I would not turn down.
“If the British Voice had me as a guest that would be incredible.”
Guy won Australian Idol in 2003 and has released his new album 100 Times Around The Sun.
He is a big fan of UK artists, revealing: “I love Lewis Capaldi – his voice is crazy.
“One of my first gigs in the US was with Ed Sheeran and I was like, ‘This dude is going to be big’.
“Then Tinie Tempah – he heard my voice and was like, ‘Hey bro, do you want to do a session?’ and so I ended up writing a song and it got on his album.”
KERRY KATONA has opened up about what she earned in Atomic Kitten.
Despite being in one of the country’s top girl groups from 1998 to 2001, she wasn’t banking mega bucks.
Speaking on Paul C. Brunson’s We Need To Talk podcast she said: “We was only on £250 a week. I left Atomic Kitten with £36,000 in my bank account and bought my mum a house and moved to Ireland.”
Kerry sang on Whole Again – but as she was pregnant, she was replaced by Jenny Frost before it went to No1.
She added: “I realised I didn’t want to be rich and famous, I just wanted to be a mum.”
OLYMPIC legend Sir Mo Farah has landed a new gig – as the face of DIY chain Screwfix.
The long-distance runner, who retired from sport in 2023, is believed to have bagged around £100,000 for the deal.
Mo, who previously appeared on I’m A Celebrity, filmed the comedy telly advert last week.
A source said: “He was game for a bit of a laugh in the ad and was happy to run around a large flagship store tending to different DIY disasters. He was keen to take direction and flex his acting skills.
“Mo is enjoying his retirement and all the opportunities that are coming his way.”
