Taylor Swift's Tacky Wedding Full of Celebrities She Doesn't Even Know, with Rob Shuter

Let's spend a minute on the Taylor wedding because I didn't know that you had reporting on that. That's very interesting that at least four people who are invited don't, don't, they don't know them. They don't, they're not sure why they were invited. They don't know them. They don't know a thousand people who knows a thousand people. If you're the most popular person, no one, nobody knows. This wasn't a wedding. This was a, an announcement to the world that Travis is open for business. If you want to make a film, cast my husband. It actually reminds me, do you remember at the Lion King premiere in London where Harry turned up with Meghan and tried to hustle Disney executives into giving her a job. Harry was on an open mic and Beyonce looked horrified and she was in, in the Lion King and Harry's pitching his wife for, for jobs. And I think that's what this wedding felt like to me. Tommy Hilfiger was at this wedding. I guarantee you in the next fashion week, guess he'll be sitting front row at Tommy. It'll be Travis Kelsey. So this was, this was like a branding opportunity. It makes me laugh that everybody talks about the privacy and they, they wanted this to be, you don't get married at Madison Square Garden with a thousand people watching. If you want privacy, you just don't do it. And so I think the knock on effects this is going to have for, for Taylor Swift might be quite significant because the question that I'm hearing a lot now is, was this just an odd choice? Was this just a strange decision or did she trick us all along? Was this who she always was? And I think we know now looking back, she's made a lot of money writing songs about romance, about loves, about breakups. She's never been private. She's always welcomed us into her life. And it's a similar way though, that Harry has with his lawsuit. He wants publicity when he wants it. He wants publicity when he dictates the terms, he doesn't want it to be a two way street. And so I think it's almost impossible now for Taylor Swift to argue that she's a private celebrity and we should give her her privacy. Oh yeah. Um, by the way, I mean, some people who are at the wedding are openly calling it extremely gaudy that it wasn't classy. It was in your face and brash. And to your point about, did anybody actually know the couple? Like you'd have to know somebody pretty intimately to get invited to their wedding. Typically. I mean, cause even there's lots of people in my life who I'm friends with, but I wouldn't expect to be invited to their wedding. You know, like that's a next level of friendship. Um, they seem to have invited every layer as long as you could do something for them. But I have to tip my hat to Charles Barkley. Charles Barkley got invited and spoke openly about it. Listen to the soundbite. So you didn't get the invite to the Royal wedding at Madison square garden that I did. Oh, you did get the invite. You didn't go. I don't go to weddings. Uh, that's one of them. I don't go to weddings or funerals. Uh, but I did get an invite and I politely declined. Uh, cause I thought it was going to be a crap show. And like, uh, I love Travis and Jason and I've only met Taylor one time, but yeah, I did get an invite, but I said, Hey, you know what? That's just too much. I just want to hang out and play golf and I don't want to dress up and all that other stuff, but I appreciate the invitation. It was pretty special. Rob, I don't think he knows them at all. He saw, I love Travis and he's the brother he's talking about like sports wise. He's not reflecting an intimate friendship there. And he doesn't know Taylor one time. And he got the invite. They don't know her. They don't know her. You just said it. You just made me really think about it. It's your wedding. This is not the Academy awards. This is not a party. This is not the Grammys. It's your wedding. And on that one day you couldn't have a moment for yourself and your groom. It had to be this production and it had to be this overtopic extravaganza for people who you don't know. It's really telling, isn't it? It's a side of Taylor that I think is surprising to a lot of people. People that have covered her like me for a long time are a little less surprised about it. But even so, this was so vulgar. It was so over the top. It was so tone deaf. It was so tone deaf. In the middle of a heat wave on the weekend of the 4th of July, one of the busiest travel days of the year here in America, they did a wedding on top of a transit hub, shut down streets, invited people that they didn't know. Why? The whole thing was ludicrous. I did chuckle though, because some of the celebrities I know who were invited, they actually wanted to be seen entering. It was sort of like they got the golden tickets and they were very disappointed when they drove up and their cars were put behind a curtain. That's why you saw people. That's why you saw Leland Dunham and Baryshka Hartetay wind down their windows. Did you notice that? We did not have to see them. We also saw, I think it was Seth Meyers who walked in, Jason Sudeikis wanting to be seen. You could get into this. We never saw pictures of Julia Roberts or Beyonce, but there was a few celebrities who were absolutely disappointed when they got there and realised, no, I'm going to see me. I'm behind a tent. These people are so pathetic. Now, meanwhile, the guy who writes or wrote some of Taylor's songs, Jack Antonoff, he got married at the Jersey shore. It was two or three years ago. It was, I mean, like I haven't even changed my hair in that timeframe. Okay. And it was three years ago. He married Andy McDowell's daughter. Forgive me. I don't know her name. I just know Andy McDowell, the actress, and they're already divorcing from the look of it. The reports are that she's removed all their wedding photos from her Instagram. They were married recently enough that their wedding photos were still up on her Instagram. She scrubbed them all. She did not. He was invited to the wedding. She did not go with him like these marriages. They don't last, Rob. These Hollywood types, these big music mogul types, they are operating on entirely different values than the rest of us. This wedding, I think, gave us all a reflection of that. Anybody that looks at love and romance and intimacy and privacy knows that that wasn't what happened at Madison Square Garden. I wish them the best. I do. You know, most Hollywood marriages don't make it. We know that they have a very strict and ironclad divorce, probably a very smart idea. But it doesn't look good, does it? It looks as if they went into this with different expectations. It definitely felt to me more like an announcement that we were now an A-list couple and we're open for business. And if you want to invest in us, please come along. I don't know how the Sussex feel. Yes, open for business. It felt like the Sussex feel. It felt like grifted. Aren't you reporting that now Travis is getting invited to these fashion shows? They don't really want him. They're hoping he brings the missus. And he knows it. He's not dumb. I have a lot of friends in New York who are event planners and PR people. They always invite Matthew Broderick because they hope he brings Sarah Jessica Parker. Nobody wants Matthew Broderick at their event, but they want him to bring Sarah Jessica. She's Carrie Bradshaw. And so the same here with Travis. And Travis is not a dummy. He wasn't getting invited to this stuff. He has become the number one guest. If you're planning an event, if you're planning a party in New York, if you're planning a fashion show, he's going to be invited to every single event on the hope, the wish, the prayer that he brings the wife along. It's going to be a really... Right, because he's got some fashion icon. But these events though, but it just gives us another insight. They're not fashion shows. They're PR stunts. They're to get in the press. That's why the clothes are so ridiculous. We wouldn't buy those clothes. The more ridiculous, the more attention they're going to get. And I gotta say it, nobody knows how to get more attention than Travis and Taylor. Megan, M-E-G-Y-N at MeganKelley.com, or just leave a comment below, but join the community by becoming a subscriber.
