Even after receiving an invitation to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding, one guest wasn't entirely convinced it was real.
BBC Radio 1 host Greg James opened up about the surprisingly low-key way he learned he was invited to one of the year's most exclusive celebrity events—and why he and his wife, author Bella Mackie, were convinced they might be walking into an elaborate prank.
Speaking on the BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show on Wednesday, July 8, James revealed that the invitation didn't arrive in a lavish envelope or custom keepsake. Instead, it came in the middle of the night as a link sent directly to his phone.
"The invitation arrived on my phone, in the form of a link, in the middle of the night when I was trying to get some sleep during a storm…this link came through saying that you've been invited to the wedding and it was the night before the Comic Relief challenge," he recalled, per People.
James was preparing for a 620-mile charity bike ride alongside Prince William, so he put the news aside. "I had to sit with it all week. I basically turned my phone straight off and thought, 'I can't deal with that now, it's too mad.' I didn't tell anyone for the whole week."
There was another reason he kept quiet: he wasn't completely convinced the invitation was genuine. "There was no paper invite to follow, it was all electronic," James explained before admitting, "Yes, until we were in there, there was a huge part us, that me and Bella were like, 'This could not be real. This could be a scam.' So until we were in, we thought we may have made a big trip here for nothing. I wasn't sure until we got there."
Other celebrities who were invited and didn’t go
Not every celebrity who received an invitation ultimately made it to Madison Square Garden. James Taylor revealed at a concert over the weekend that he and his wife, Kim, had been invited but skipped the celebration because of his annual Fourth of July concert at Tanglewood, though he still wished the newlyweds "happiness and smooth sailing."
Ryan Seacrest had to pass despite initially RSVP'ing yes. The longtime television host said he was forced to cancel after committing to Disney's Fourth of July special, though he admitted he was "so honored and thrilled to be invited."
Harry Styles and Zoe Kravitz also skipped the event, most likely due to Styles’ performance at Wembley Stadium in London for his Together, Together Tour.
