Swift and Gossip Girl actress Lively had been close since 2015, but that unravelled when Swift was dragged into Lively\u2019s court battle with Justin Baldoni. The image-conscious Swift would likely not have appreciated receiving a court subpoena to testify about her conversations with Lively \u2013 nor to have her text messages to the actress read out in court. Nor, we suspect, would Lively have been chuffed at Swift\u2019s claims that her communiqu\u00e9s about Baldoni began to feel like \u201ca mass corporate email\u201d.<\/p>\n
This is not a snub as such, but while many of the indie-rock royalty with whom Swift has collaborated were at the wedding, the notoriously low-key Justin Vernon, aka Bon Iver, was seemingly absent.<\/p>\n
Those on the guest list included the National\u2019s Aaron Dessner, who produced her albums Folklore and Evermore, and Lucy Dacus, of the indie mega-group Boygenius,.<\/p>\n
But where was Vernon \u2013 who duetted with her on the Folklore track Exile? Vernon is known to dislike the spotlight and may have preferred to keep a low profile rather than run a gauntlet of paparazzi and Swifties.<\/p>\n
Paramore-frontwoman Williams and Swift both moved to Nashville to pursue music careers and became friends in 2009 after Swift\u2019s mother, Andrea, suggested her daughter needed more female acquaintances in the business around her age. Williams appeared in the video for Bad Blood, and Paramore supported Swift during the Eras Tour.<\/p>\n
So why was Williams not at the wedding? She wrapped her solo tour in Dublin on Tuesday \u2013 more than enough time to jet to New York.<\/p>\n
The Sheffield rockers are a favourite of Swift\u2019s mother, Andrea, and famously performed with Swift in 2008 on the country-music show, CMT Crossroads.<\/p>\n
\u201cTaylor Swift\u2019s album 1989 is called 1989 because that was the year she was born,\u201d Def Leppard singer Joe Elliott told The Irish Times in 2023.<\/p>\n
\u201cThroughout 1988, she heard our music in her mother\u2019s womb, non-stop. Her parents are big Def Leppard fans. Someone came up with a laptop to us and said, \u2018Have you read this interview?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
Said interview was with Swift, who, even then, was pretty big. Asked whether she would ever consider working with another band, she said: \u201cThere\u2019s only one \u2013 Def Leppard.\u201d<\/p>\n
Having the band serenade the Swifties with Hysteria or Pour Some Sugar on Me would surely have raised the wedding to another level \u2013 but sadly, it seems not to have come to pass.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
