Graham Norton has finally clarified that his widely reported comments about signing multiple NDAs for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding were, in fact, entirely made up, and he’s somewhat baffled that anyone took them seriously.
The 62-year-old Irish presenter made the quirky remark during an episode of his show in January. On the way podcast, when he was asked about the highly anticipated celebrity wedding and responded, “I can’t say anything. I’ve signed so many NDAs.”
The comments spread quickly, and American media picked them up and reported them as fact.
Speaking to Advertising Week 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]” he said.
“I said that as a joke on the podcast. I said, ‘Oh, I signed all these NDAs,’ and then it started being reported as a serious thing in America. I didn’t say [to] I stopped it because I thought it was obviously a joke.”
The connection between Norton and Swift is genuine, however. The couple 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 the evening’s musical guest, Lewis Capaldi, in the music video for her single. Opalite.
During that same appearance, Swift hinted that Norton, a longtime self-proclaimed Swiftie, would be on the guest list.
After he asked her if she would share her wedding plans, she replied with a smile: “You will find out.”
Swift also gave a vague indication of her timeline, saying she wanted to focus on album-related commitments first.
“I want to do the album stuff first, and the wedding is what happens after that in terms of planning,” she said while promoting her album. The life of a showgirl.
No exact date has been set for the wedding – NES or otherwise.
