Shania Twain recently disclosed she turned down an invitation to Taylor Swift‘s wedding, citing her connection with Swift’s former partner, Harry Styles, as the reason.
In an interview with ETalk, a Canadian entertainment platform, published on Tuesday, July 14, Twain, 60, expressed her regret: “I would have loved nothing more than to attend Taylor’s wedding. Being there would have been wonderful — but I had commitments with Harry.”
Twain was referring to her involvement in kicking off Styles’ series of 12 concerts at London’s Wembley Stadium, which coincided with Swift’s nuptials to Travis Kelce held on July 3 at New York City’s Madison Square Garden.
Reflecting on the invitation, the “Man! I Feel Like a Woman” singer explained, “Taylor asked me to her wedding, but I couldn’t make it due to my prior commitments to Harry’s concerts. If Harry ever ties the knot and wants me there, he’ll need to give me more notice.”
Even while absent, Taylor Swift celebrated her 2026 American Music Awards nominations, as the event proceeded without her presence. The pop icon, now 36, missed the Monday, May 25 awards show at Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena. This year, Swift leads the nomination tally at the AMAs, bagging eight nods, including Artist of the Year.
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.
