Graham Norton has finally clarified that his widely circulated comments about signing multiple NDAs for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding were actually completely made up, and he’s somewhat confused that anyone took them seriously.
The 62-year-old Irish presenter made the original remark during a January episode of his Wings on podcast when asked about the highly anticipated celebrity wedding and replied, “I can’t say anything. I’ve signed so many NDAs.”
The comments spread quickly, with American outlets picking them up and reporting them as fact.
Speaking at Advertising Week EuropeNorton set the record straight when his co-host Maria McErlane asked him about the NDA story.
“I don’t know, no [I have not signed a non-disclosure agreement]he said.
“I said it as a joke on the podcast. I said, ‘Oh, I’ve signed all these NDAs,’ and then it started being reported as a serious thing in America. I didn’t say [to] removed it because I thought it was so obviously a joke.”
Norton’s connection to Swift is real, though. The pair were linked during an October 2025 interview on his 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 alongside Norton and tonight’s musical guest Lewis Capaldi in the video for her single Opalite.
During the same performance, Swift hinted that Norton, a self-described lifelong Swiftie, would be on the guest list.
After he asked if she wanted to share any wedding plans, she replied with a smile, “You know.”
Swift also gave a loose indication of her timeline, saying she would focus on album commitments first.
“I want to do the album first and the wedding is what happens after in terms of planning,” she said while promoting her album The life of a showgirl.
No exact date has been set for the wedding – NDAs or otherwise.
