Taylor Swift’s Request for Graham Norton Show Appearance Revealed

Jason Kelce Reacts to Daughters' Role in Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce's Wedding

Taylor Swift keeps her side of the street clean—and Graham Norton knows exactly what she means.

After the “Karma” singer appeared on an October episode of The Graham Norton Show, the late night host revealed her sweet request for attending alongside Greta Lee, Lewis Capaldi, Cillian Murphy, Jodie Turner-Smith and Domhnall Gleeson.

“She was a very late booking,” Norton admitted in an interview with British GQ earlier this month. “So we thought, ‘We’re going to have to bump somebody.’”

But Swift didn’t want to create a blank space on someone else’s calendar.

“Word came back from Taylor,” Norton continued. “No one must be bumped.”

And as it turned out, all Swift’s fellow guests had to do was stay to get a part in her “Opalite” music video.

“That was a good show to be on,” Norton mused. “Because everyone ended up in her ‘Opalite’ music video.”

Indeed, inspiration struck the Grammy winner when fellow guest Gleeson joked about wanting to be in one of her music videos.

“The idea for the Opalite music video crash landed into my imagination,” Swift explained of the moment in an Instagram post about the video in February. “He’s Irish! He was joking! Except that in that moment during the interview, I was instantly struck with an idea.”

Immediately, Swift was pacing in her pen. “So a week later he received an email script I’d written for the ‘Opalite’ video,” she recalled, "where he was playing the starring role.”

But Swift wanted to give the chance for all her fellow Graham Norton guests to bejeweled.

“I had this thought that it would be wild if all of our fellow guests on The Graham Norton Show that night, including Graham himself, could be a part of it too,” she continued. “Like a school group project but for adults and it isn’t mandatory. To my delight, everyone from the show made the effort to time travel back to the 90’s with us and help with this video.”

And it’s a moment Swift will always remember in the back of her mind.

“I had more fun than I ever imagined,” she mused. “Made new friends, metaphors, and fashion choices.”
