Graham Norton finally clarified that his widely reported comments about signing multiple NDAs for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding were, in fact, completely made up, and he’s somewhat baffled that anyone took them seriously.
The 62-year-old Irish host made the original comment during a January episode of his Wanging in podcast, when asked about the long-awaited celebrity wedding, he responded, “I can’t say anything. I’ve signed a lot of confidentiality agreements.”

speaking in Advertising Week in EuropeNorton set the record straight when his co-host Maria McErlane asked him about the history of the NDA.
“I don’t know, no [I have not signed a non-disclosure agreement]”, said.
“I said that as a joke on the podcast. I said, ‘Oh, I’ve signed all these confidentiality agreements,’ and then it started being reported that it was something serious in the United States. I didn’t say [to] “Cut that out because I thought it was obviously a joke.”
However, Norton’s connection to Swift is genuine. The pair bonded during an October 2025 interview on her talk show, where Swift appeared alongside actors Domhnall Gleeson, Cillian Murphy, Greta Lee and Jodie Turner-Smith.
When Gleeson expressed interest in appearing in one of her music videos, Swift took the idea and ran with it, featuring them all, along with Norton and that night’s musical guest, Lewis Capaldi, in the video for her single. Opalite.
During that same appearance, Swift hinted that Norton, a self-described lifelong Swiftie, would be on the guest list.
After he asked her if she would share any wedding plans, she replied with a smile, “You’ll know.”
Swift also gave a vague indication of her timeline, saying she wanted to focus on album commitments first.
“I want to do the album stuff first, and the wedding is what happens next in terms of planning,” she said while promoting her album. The life of a showgirl.
An exact date for the wedding has not been set, whether through confidentiality agreements or otherwise.
