Taylor Swift said she would invite everyone she has ever met to her wedding when she first announced her engagement – and judging by Wednesday’s arrivals at JFK, she was deadly serious.
Guests have been jetting in from across the globe to make sure they can attend the Life of a Showgirl hitmaker’s upcoming nuptials to Travis Kelce at Madison Square Garden.
British host Graham Norton was one of the first to touch down at JFK, alongside his husband Jono McLeod.
Phoebe Waller-Bridge was also spotted arriving at the airport on Wednesday, accompanied by family and a young child. And Dua Lipa was among those already in the Big Apple.
Norton’s presence will come as little surprise to anyone who caught his BBC chat show last October.
It was during that very appearance that Swift turned to Norton and invited him to her wedding after showing off her engagement ring and admitting that narrowing down the guest list was the most stressful part of planning, because she intended to invite ‘anyone I’ve ever talked to’.
Swift then made good on a second promise made that same evening, when her fellow chat show guest Domhnall Gleeson joked on air that he wanted to be in one of her music videos – and Swift took him at his word.
She had him star in ‘Opalite’, her retro-Nineties video shot in secret at the Whitgift shopping center in Croydon, south London, in late November – featuring Gleeson, Cillian Murphy, Greta Lee, Jodie Turner-Smith, Lewis Capaldi, and Norton himself.
Norton later revealed on his podcast that he had kept the whole shoot tightly under wraps for months.It appears both the invitation and the cameo came with a plus-one to the wedding of the century.
Swift and Kelce have enforced a strict ‘no ring, no bring’ policy for the celebration – meaning only married or engaged guests are permitted to bring a date.
