Taylor Swift Details Travis Kelce’s ‘Barbie’ Joke Misunderstanding, Wedding Plans on ‘Late Night’
Taylor Swift closed out her “Life of a Showgirl” press tour yesterday with an appearance on “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” discussing her record-breaking twelfth studio album and sharing anecdotes about her life with fiancé Travis Kelce.
Swift revealed she played tracks from the new album for her Eras Tour dancers prior to the “Fate of Ophelia” music video shoot, trusting their discretion. She also recounted a humorous incident from a London concert where Kelce mistakenly attempted to compliment Greta Gerwig on the film “Barbie,” actually addressing Hugh Grant’s wife, Anna Eberstein. “Do the math,” Swift joked, recounting the realization, “Is there any chance at all, baby, that you complimented Hugh Grant’s wife, Anna, on her movie, ‘Barbie?’ And she politely nodded, because she didn’t have the heart to tell you she didn’t direct it?” This story highlights the couple’s playful dynamic and Kelce’s enthusiastic support of the film.
The conversation also touched on wedding planning, with Meyers offering tongue-in-cheek advice on invitations. Swift also shared a story about a loose snake in her house during the Palisades fire, prompting a call from her head of security, and reflected on her early days hosting Saturday Night Live in 2009. She described hosting SNL as “the most exciting thing that had ever happened to me in my life at 19,” and credited the experience with preparing her for the rapid costume changes required during the Eras Tour.
Swift described the release of her twelfth album as “the most joyful album release I’ve ever had,” and indicated she is now focused on the next phase of her career. Representatives for Swift have not yet announced a wedding date, but confirmed planning is underway following the conclusion of her promotional commitments.
