BBC Radio 1 host Greg James has given fans a behind-the-scenes look at his chaotic journey to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's highly anticipated wedding, sharing humorous anecdotes about the traffic mayhem he encountered.

The broadcaster, who received a surprise invitation from Swift herself during an interview last year, documented his preparations for the event on Instagram Stories. James had kept his attendance under wraps until after the ceremony, reportedly bound by a non-disclosure agreement imposed by the couple .

"Certainly a rush landing on the day of it," James wrote, reflecting on the experience. He also quipped about the sweltering conditions, adding, "Certainly too hot for a velvet tux" .

The radio personality shared a particularly amusing detail about the gridlock leading to Madison Square Garden, where the lavish celebration took place. "The traffic was so bad that Bella had time to go for a p**s and then jump back in the car, which had moved 2 metres," he joked, referring to his wife, author and journalist Bella Mackie .

James also posted a sweet photograph of himself and Mackie dressed for the occasion, offering followers a glimpse of their formal attire for the "wedding of the century" .

The invitation came about during a lighthearted exchange on James's Radio 1 show in October 2025. After James joked about wanting to meet Kelce, Swift laughed and assured him he would have the chance at their wedding, adding that he was "obviously" invited .

The nuptials took place on Friday, July 3, at New York's iconic Madison Square Garden, with approximately 1,000 guests in attendance. Among the celebrity attendees were Selena Gomez, Gigi Hadid, Ed Sheeran, Beyoncé, Jay-Z, and Brad Pitt . Adam Sandler officiated the ceremony, and the venue was illuminated with billboards reading "JUST&T MARRIED!" following the event .

After the wedding, James extended his New York stay, attending a World Cup match where he spotted Leonardo DiCaprio. The DJ couldn't resist a playful dig, noting that the Hollywood star was at the game but notably absent from the Swift-Kelce celebration. "That's showbiz, Leo!" James quipped .

James described the event as an "unbelievably brilliant night" and confirmed that Swift had kept her word with the invitation .
