Swift spoke to Norton about the wedding in October 2025. When asked if she’d keep the wedding intimate, Swift jokingly said that she planned to put “anyone I’ve ever talked to” on the guest list.
“I’m so excited about it,” Swift told Norton. “I know it’s gonna be fun to plan, because I think the only stressful weddings are the ones where you have a small amount and people are on the bubble, and you have to evaluate or assess your relationship with them to see if they should be there. I’m not gonna do that.”
