Graham Norton and his husband Jono McLeod have been spotted arriving in New York City for the highly anticipated wedding of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. The couple's wedding is reportedly taking place at Madison Square Garden, with rumors of an elaborate castle being constructed inside the venue.
Graham Norton Keeps His Promise
Norton, wearing a blue t-shirt and joggers at the airport, was among the first celebrities to arrive. Taylor Swift had promised him an invitation when she appeared on his talk show in October, joking that she was inviting 'anyone I've ever talked to.' At the time, she said, 'I know it's going to be fun to plan because I think the only stressful wedding is when you have a small amount [of space for guests]. That's when you have to assess your relationship to see if they're going to be there.'
Star-Studded Guest List
Fleabag creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge was also spotted arriving in New York with family members. She has been part of Swift's orbit for years and cheered her on during the London leg of the Eras Tour in 2024. Fans recall the moment she and Andrew Scott sprinted back to the VIP tent when 'Style' began playing.
Dua Lipa appears to have arrived earlier, while Ed Sheeran fueled speculation that wedding festivities are already underway after being spotted having dinner with Swift's longtime collaborator Aaron Dessner in upstate New York, a short drive from Manhattan. Swift has previously joked she'd struggle to stop Sheeran from commandeering the microphone at the reception.
Musical Performances and Entertainment
Rumors suggest music legends Stevie Nicks and Tim McGraw are set to perform, making the entertainment lineup resemble a Grammy Awards show. Dua Lipa was also photographed arriving at Electric Lady Studios with Camila Cabello, sparking speculation of a collaboration.
Sabrina Carpenter, who opened for Swift on the Eras Tour, was seen dining with friends in Manhattan, adding to the star-studded guest list.
NBA Stars and Plus-One Policy
According to reports, the couple has invited the starting five of the New York Knicks—Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, Mikal Bridges, OG Anunoby, and Josh Hart—after the team won the NBA Championship earlier this year. Brunson has admitted he's a huge Swift fan.
Plus-ones have reportedly been extended only to married partners, meaning friend Gigi Hadid might attend solo unless her partner Bradley Cooper received his own invitation. Swift was seen driving into Gigi's condo garage with tinted windows as paparazzi gathered.
Wedding Details
Swift had noted that planning a large wedding is less stressful than a small one, as it avoids difficult decisions about guest lists. With half of Hollywood, the music industry, and a basketball team expected, seating arrangements may prove challenging.
