Taylor Swift reportedly experienced an awkward exchange on The Graham Norton Show when fellow guest Jodie Turner-Smith asked her about whether she planned to have babies.

According to audience members, Swift initially pretended to misunderstand the question before Turner-Smith repeated it directly.

One fan reported that Swift paused, stopped drinking, laughed, then took a sip of her white wine before Graham Norton quickly steered the moment into lighter territory. Swift herself added that such a conversation might be better suited to backstage and joked that she would text Turner-Smith about it later.

While the exchange was brief, fans commenting online had mixed reactions. Some praised Swift for handling the moment with composure while others criticised Turner-Smith for asking what they saw as a personal and invasive question. Another joked that Swift might “revoke Jodie’s invitation to her wedding” after the incident.

This light but pointed moment followed Swift’s earlier remarks during the show about her upcoming wedding to NFL star Travis Kelce. She told the audience that the celebration would be “huge,” explaining that a smaller event would feel “stressful.”

Swift appeared on the programme in a black David Koma crystal halter-neck mini dress alongside Cillian Murphy, Greta Lee, Domhnall Gleeson and Lewis Capaldi and Turner-Smith. Her appearance comes just ahead of the release of her new album The Life of a Showgirl.

The episode is scheduled to air on October 3.
