Graham Norton insists ‘I don’t know if I will get Taylor Swift wedding invite’

By Casey Cooper-Fiske, Press Association Senior Entertainment Reporter

TV presenter Graham Norton has insisted he does not know if he will be invited to Taylor Swift’s wedding to NFL star Travis Kelce.

It comes after Swift featured Norton, 62, in her music video for the song Opalite, along with the rest of the guests that appeared alongside her on his BBC chat show, such as actor Cillian Murphy, singer Lewis Capaldi and About Time star Domhnall Gleeson.

Speaking to Maria McErlane, who co-hosts the podcast Wanging On with him, at Advertising Week Europe, Norton said: “I don’t know, no (I have not signed a non-disclosure agreement).

“I said that as a joke on the podcast, I said, ‘oh I’ve signed all these NDAs’, and then it started getting reported as a serious thing in America.

“I didn’t say cut that out because I thought it was so obviously a joke.”

Swift, 36, announced her engagement to Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce in August last year.

Norton added of his appearance in the video: “I said to Taylor at the time, often in your 60s you begin to give up on your dream of appearing in a major pop video, but it happened, and thank you very much, Taylor Swift.”

Opalite is taken from Swift’s latest studio album The Life Of A Showgirl, which was released in October last year.

The Irish presenter went on to say that he felt he is “very lucky” to have been able to “age in real time on television with an audience”.

He added: “When I look back and I think of some of the things I did when we started, I’d be running around the audience with a microphone getting people to tell me their sex stories, confessing about sex toys and things.

“I was 30-something then, now I’m 60-something, if I was doing that, it would just be creepy.”
