Shania Twain has revealed she declined an invitation to Taylor Swift’s wedding due to her tie to Swift’s ex Harry Styles.
“I would have done anything to be at Taylor’s wedding,” Twain, 60, said in an interview with Canadian entertainment outlet ETalk, published on Tuesday, July 14. “I would have done anything, and that would have been really lovely for me to be there — but I was with Harry.”
Twain was referring to her musical role in opening Styles’ 12-show residency at London’s Wembley Stadium, which overlapped with Swift’s July 3 wedding to Travis Kelce inside New York City’s Madison Square Garden.
“Taylor Swift invited me to her wedding and I couldn’t go because I was already committed to Harry’s shows. I was already committed,” the “Man! I Feel Like a Woman” hitmaker quipped. “If Harry ever gets married and he wants me at his wedding then … he’s going to have to ask me more in advance.”
As the ETalk host pointed out, Swift, 36, and Styles, 32, dated from 2012 to 2013, making Twain’s prior engagement all the more awkward. “It’s just kind of funny that it happened that way,” the country singer said in response.
Twain wasn’t the only celebrity to miss out on seeing Swift exchange vows with the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, also 36, in a ceremony that attracted 1,000 of the couple’s closest family members and friends. Swift’s former bestie Blake Lively, as well as Margaret Qualley, the estranged wife of Swift’s musical collaborator Jack Antonoff, and Swift’s former pal Lorde did not attend the star-studded nuptials.

Those who did witness the pair, who began dating in the summer of 2023, tie the knot include Selena Gomez, Jessica Alba, Gigi Hadid, Hugh Grant, Karlie Kloss, Paul Rudd, Seth Meyers, Kelsea Ballerini, Maren Morris and more. On the groom’s side, Brittany and Patrick Mahomes, George Kittle, Kareem Hunt and other high-profile NFL players also joined the fun.
A source exclusively shared with Us Weekly three days after the ceremony that the venue was utterly transformed. “The entire wedding had an enchanted garden-inspired vibe,” the insider told Us before revealing that the wedding’s color palette was soft blush and light peach. “There was light peach drapery everywhere as you entered, blush and white florals, tons of lush greenery, huge trees and candlelight throughout.”

The smaller details were equally impressive, with the source also confirming that cocktail drink napkins, signs and custom handkerchiefs were all monogrammed with “T&T” initials.
