Taylor Swift has set a date for her wedding to Travis Kelce, one invited guest says.
Taylor Swift fans can’t get enough when it comes to speculation and rumors about her upcoming wedding to Kansas City Chiefs future hall of famer Travis Kelce, and over the last several days, the hot topic has been the wedding date. Multiple reports, none confirmed, have said that Swift and Kelce plan to tie the knot on June 13.
Swift has said that she considers the number 13 her lucky number, so if not June 13, then Swift will get married on the 13th of some other month, fans are certain. But outside of Swift and Kelce themselves, no one knows for sure.
Or do they?
A popular talk show host on the BBC in the United Kingdom revealed on Friday that he knows when the globally famous couple plan to hold their wedding. Or so it appeared when the host, 62-year-old comedian Graham Norton, posted a message on his X (formerly Twitter) account, according to reports by the entertainment site E! Online and other outlets.
“So exciting that @taylorswift13 has a date for her wedding now!” Norton posted on Friday, in a message that had already received 1.4 million views less than 24 hours after Norton published it.
So what does Norton’s post mean?
Why Would Graham Norton Know Taylor Swift’s Wedding Date?
Norton is a comedian by trade, so the possibility remains that the online post is some kind of joke. But the long-running late-night personality also has credibility as someone who may be close enough to Swift to have been informed of the date. Swift has already appeared on Norton’s show five times, which appears to be more appearances than the global pop megastar has made on any other late-night talk show, though she had guested repeatedly on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.
Swift most recently appeared on Norton’s show last October to promote her then-new album, The Life of a Showgirl.
During that appearance, Norton asked Swift, “Is next year the wedding year? Is that when it’s happening?” as quoted by Us Weekly.
Swift replied by telling Norton, “I was going to invite you.”
Norton’s online post had fans speculating that he had recently received a formal invitation, confirming the date of the wedding, according to Us Weekly. But why would he reveal even that small amount of information when, by his own statements, he has had to sign several non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) ahead of his rumored attendance at the wedding, according to a Daily Mail report?
Norton Appears in Latest Swift Video
It would not be unusual for a talk show host to claim a friendship with Swift even if none existed. But Norton’s relationship with the 36-year-old “Opalite” singer appears to be the real thing. Swift is so comfortable with Norton that she included him in her latest video, the one for “Opalite.”
Scenes for the video were filmed at the Whitgift shopping centre in Croydon, south London. That’s where Norton’s appearance in the “Opalite” clip was shot.
“It was like a movie shoot, a massive, massive deal,” Norton said later, as quoted by Billboard. “Everyone was lovely on set, it was a really, really fun experience.”
