Shania Twain has revealed she declined an invite to Taylor Swift’s wedding because of her tie to Swift’s ex Harry Styles.
“I might 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 might have done anything, and that will have been really lovely for me to be there — but I used to be 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 Latest York City’s Madison Square Garden.
“Taylor Swift invited me to her wedding and I couldn’t go because I used to be already committed to Harry’s shows. I used to be 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 need to ask me more upfront.”
Because the ETalk host identified, Swift, 36, and Styles, 32, dated from 2012 to 2013, making Twain’s prior engagement all of the more awkward. “It’s just type of funny that it happened that way,” the country singer said in response.
Twain wasn’t the one 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 relations and friends. Swift’s former bestie Blake Energetic, in addition to Margaret Qualley, the estranged wife of Swift’s musical collaborator Jack Antonoff, and Swift’s former pal Lorde didn’t attend the star-studded nuptials.

Those that did witness the pair, who began dating in the summertime 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. “All the wedding had an enchanted garden-inspired vibe,” the insider told Us before revealing that the marriage’s color palette was soft blush and light-weight peach. “There was light peach drapery all over the place 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.
