Shania Twain has revealed she turned down an invitation to Taylor Swift’s wedding to perform with Harry Styles at his sold-out shows at Wembley Stadium.<\/p>\n

The singer, 60, opened for Styles during his 12-night London residency, which ran from June 12 to July 4, as part of his Together, Together tour.<\/p>\n

Twain’s commitment to the shows meant she was unable to accept her invitation to Swift’s wedding to Travis Kelce at Madison Square Garden on July 3.<\/p>\n

Speaking on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, she said: “I was very honoured to be invited to Taylor’s wedding and next time I see her, I will of course give her a big congratulations.<\/p>\n

“I admire her musicianship and her commitment to telling her stories, I love her.”<\/p>\n

Prior to the Wembley shows, Twain had performed with Swift’s ex-boyfriend Styles at Coachella in 2022 and the Brit Awards in 2023.<\/p>\n

Speaking about how they met, she said: “I met Harry backstage at a very small show, and we chatted for a little bit.<\/p>\n

“He was still just getting going, he wasn’t the Harry he is now.<\/p>\n

“We exchanged numbers and he called me a little bit later and said, ‘it’s my mum’s birthday coming up, would you mind wishing her a happy birthday because she’s the person who introduced me to your music?'”<\/p>\n

Twain happily sang happy birthday to Styles’s mother over the phone and the two singers kept in touch.<\/p>\n

The Canadian singer appeared on the talk show to promote her new album, Little Miss Twain, which will be released on July 24.<\/p>\n

Styles previously dated Swift from 2012 to 2013.<\/p>\n

Referencing their past romance during an interview on CTV’s Etalk, Twain said: “It’s just kind of funny that that happened that way.”<\/p>\n

Swift and Kelce reportedly had 1,000 guests at their wedding, with celebrities including Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper, Graham Norton, Ed Sheeran, Hugh Grant and Ethan Hawke all in attendance.<\/p>\n

A billboard outside the venue read “JUST&T MARRIED” after the ceremony took place.<\/p>\n

Their romance began in 2023 after Kelce publicly announced on his podcast that he was interested in\u00a0Swift, which she later said was a “wild, romantic gesture”.<\/p>\n

In October 2025,\u00a0Swift\u00a0made her first TV appearance on Graham Norton’s BBC talk show since her engagement, where she jokingly told the host she was planning on inviting “anyone I’ve ever talked to” to her\u00a0wedding.<\/p>\n

Styles is currently in a relationship with Zoe Kravitz, who he was first linked with in August 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Shania Twain has revealed she turned down an invitation to Taylor Swift’s wedding to perform with Harry Styles…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":540269,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[156,10288,111,139,69,6456,11214,437,15315,33952],"class_list":["post-540268","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-entertainment","tag-harry-styles","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-taylor-swift","tag-travis-kelce","tag-tv","tag-wedding","tag-wembley-stadium"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/540268","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=540268"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/540268\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/540269"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=540268"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=540268"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=540268"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
