BBC Radio 1 star Greg James has been teasing fans over his attendance at Taylor Swift's recent star-studded wedding to Travis Kelce, having headed to New York for the big day. On Friday (July 3) night, the pop star and the NFL player, both 36, tied the knot at Madison Square Garden in a ceremony officiated by Adam Sandler. A billboard outside the venue read "JUST&T MARRIED" after the ceremony took place.
Wedding Details and Celebrity Guests
The couple reportedly invited around 1,000 guests, with celebrities including Greg James, Gigi Hadid, Bradley Cooper, Graham Norton, Ed Sheeran, Hugh Grant, and Ethan Hawke. Greg confirmed over the weekend that he had scored an invite, posting a photo of a slice of pizza to his Instagram Story and writing: "I am currently experiencing the world’s greatest hangover and unable to reply to the hilarious number of messages I have received over the last 24 hours. But just to say: True to her word, of course the invitation arrived, and of course I couldn’t tell anyone. And oh my God, what an unbelievably brilliant night. I’m off for a nap."
Greg James Shares Photos from New York
After returning to the UK from his trip, which also included attending some World Cup matches, Greg shared photos on Instagram. One snap showed him and his partner, author and journalist Bella Mackie, ready for the "royal wedding" of the showbiz world. Alongside the post, the DJ and author wrote: "I’ve changed my mind about destination weddings. Certainly a rush landing on the day of it. Certainly too hot for a velvet tux. Didn’t Bella look unreal btw. Really enjoyed watching the live stream of the queue…" He continued: "…while in the queue. The traffic was so bad that Bella had time to go for a p**s and then jump back in the car, which had moved 2 metres."
Behind the Scenes of the Big Day
Greg gave a glimpse at the chaos of the big day, captioning each photo: "The car wash! That was the last thing on my phone. The next thing was the most delicious life-saving hangover pizza, thanks to Ray’s. A museum was suggested. I was unsure. Until we got there. If you go to NY, you MUST go to the Tenement Museum. The best. Even on a hangover. PLEASE GO. I can’t tell you how much I love a NY Fire Station. Look at this f**king beauty." He added: "Oh yeah and because it was the maddest weekend of my life, a ticket to the World Cup was offered up. And I couldn’t get there quick enough. Slightly slower to get home again. Just me my 75,000 new sad friends. Just trying to process the last few days and just hours before the wedding, I was on stage with Alice Levine in Sheffield at our podcast festival, Crossed Wires, doing a live episode of our BAD CHAT podcast. We gunged an audience member called Laura. My brain is going to burst."
Radio 1 Star's Return to the UK
Greg also mentioned: "Had a lovely time messing with Sam and Danni on the Breakfast Show from the airport on Friday morning by the way. This is from my book. Again, it’s OK to change your mind. PLUS…the loophole is Travis and Taylor are FROM AMERICA so it’s different. Right? Back home and Barney is really enjoying all my wedding stories. I’ll be boring everyone to death with them on the radio tomorrow morning. Can’t wait to be back!" The post was quickly flooded with comments. Clara Amfo joked: "I can’t stand you [crying laughing emoji]." Melvin Odoom replied: "This is very cool." Zoe Ball said: "waiting patiently by wireless for all the tea..."
