It has been quite an exciting season for Taylor Swift, as she made the headlines not just for her new album The Life of a Showgirl but also for her engagement to NFL star Travis Kelce.
Amid all the buzz, fans were particularly curious about Swift’s speech at her longtime friend Selena Gomez’s recent wedding to producer Benny Blanco. Recently, Taylor Swift dropped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the singer-songwriter dispelled rumours about the speech she made at her best friend Selena Gomez’s wedding. She highlighted that she ensured that there was no mention of her engagement to Travis Kelce.
On Monday’s episode of the show, the global popstar denied speculations that had been surrounding her speech at Selena’s wedding and even tried to hide her engagement ring. She revealed that she did not want to make it about her own personal life.
Taylor Swift’s Speech At Selena Gomez’s Wedding
During the show, host Jimmy Fallon playfully challenged Taylor to address recent rumours about her, one of them being that she had joked that Selena had “beaten her to the altar”.
The popstar dispelled the rumour and revealed what she actually said during her toast at the wedding. “I did make a speech, but I actually made a point not to mention anything about my engagement.” She stated that “Selena was the most elegant, gorgeous, not only bride but just a vision that I’ve ever seen in my life. She deserves all of this happiness. Benny is so funny. He’s the best. Nobody wants you to be like, ‘Hey, I know this is your wedding day, but I’m engaged!’ I was like, don’t mention it, maybe even turn the ring around.”
She highlighted that her speech focused on their friendship and their shared years as teenagers. “I did some light teasing about how we used to dress in 2008, the year we met,” she added.
She further explained that, back in 2008, it was the year of deep V-necks and skinny jeans, and that was what she focused on during her speech. “I talked about how happy I am for her and how beautiful it’s been to be part of her life. But I did not make it about me,” she said, finally debunking the rumours.
