Taylor Swift’s wedding to Travis Kelce may have looked spectacular from the outside, but one celebrity guest has hinted that not every detail was necessarily his personal taste.
Graham Norton, who attended the couple’s July 3 nuptials at Madison Square Garden in New York City, described the celebration as “lovely” while admitting there were moments that prompted a very different reaction.
Graham Norton discussed Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding during an appearance on “The Chris Evans Breakfast Show” on Virgin Radio UK, where he made clear that the ceremony ultimately felt surprisingly familiar despite the couple’s extraordinary fame.
The 63-year-old explained that weddings tend to contain details guests admire as well as choices they personally might have skipped.
“You saw things, you know, ‘Oh, that’s a lovely touch,’ and then you saw things, like, ‘Oh, I wouldn’t have done that,’” he said per the Daily Mail.
Despite that observation, Norton was clear that he enjoyed the celebration. “It was a lovely, lovely wedding,” the comedian added, describing it as “like any wedding” regardless of whether the people getting married were famous.
Swift’s Wedding Had One Major Difference For Graham Norton
For Norton, the most memorable part of Taylor Swift’s wedding may have been the extraordinary journey to the ceremony itself.
Earlier in the radio interview, he recalled the anticipation of traveling through New York as the city prepared for the massive event.
“Being in the car, the big black car, and New York is all shut down, and you’re heading toward Madison Square Garden, that was the kind of big, exciting [thing],” Norton recalled.
He described the anticipation as, “Oh, my God. Oh, my God. What’s it gonna be like?” Yet the extraordinary atmosphere disappeared almost immediately once he arrived.
Norton compared the experience to the way people once wondered what gay weddings would be like, only to discover that they were still weddings.
“And then you went through these big curtains and the cars there, and you get out of the car. The minute you got out of the car, you were at a wedding,” he said.
