Taylor Swift has accidentally revealed she plans on inviting as many people to her wedding day as possible to avoid the stress that come with planning an intimate ceremony

After announcing her engagement to Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift has been inundated with questions surrounding her upcoming nuptials. And while on The Graham Norton Show, the globally renowned singer accidentally let slip a huge detail about her wedding – but immediately regretted it.

The singer, 35, told host Graham Norton that she plans on having a big wedding so she can invite as many people as possible.

And she also confessed that she will start to plan her wedding after the promotional tour of her latest studio album comes to an end.

During her chat with the legendary presenter, Graham asked her if next year will be her wedding year. And in response, Taylor said: “Oh you’ll know.”

At which point the audience erupted in laughter. Graham then pressed further and asked: “So you’re going big?” To which Taylor said: “I was just meaning I was going to invite you to it.”

Graham could barely contain his excitement but managed to ask if she was in the initial stages of planning.

In response, she continued: “No, I am doing the album thing now which is a big thing and then I think the wedding is what happens after that in the scheme of the planning.”

She added: “I’m so excited about it. I know it’s going to be fun to plan because I think the only stressful weddings are the ones where you have a small amount of people. You have to evaluate or asses your relationship with them to see if they should be there. I’m not going to do that. I shouldn’t have said any of that.”

In August, Taylor and Travis nearly broke the internet with news of their engagement. Following their post, an estimated 28 million people liked it.

A number of pictures made up the huge announcement. In one picture, Travis is seen getting down on one knee to pop the question as they gazed into each other’s eyes.

According to US reports, Taylor’s engagement ring was reportedly bought from Artifex Fine Jewellery. It remains unknown how much the singer’s ring is worth but rings from that retailer start at £21,000.

In another picture, the couple are seen in a loving embrace surrounded by flowers including roses and hydrangeas. The flowers appear to have been set up in woodland constructed in an archway.

Travis recalled his attempts at trying to catch Taylor’s attention by handing her a bracelet with his number on it. Speaking on his podcast which he co-hosts with his brother, he admitted: “I was disappointed that she doesn’t talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs she sings.”

He added: “So I was a little butt-hurt I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made her. I received a bunch of them being there, but I wanted to give Taylor Swift one with my number on.”

His brother then joked if he meant his shirt number or his phone number. And in response Travis said: “You know which one. She doesn’t meet anyone or at least she didn’t want to meet me so I took it personal.”‘

Speaking about her now fiancé, Taylor recently said on Heart Breakfast radio show: “He’s the most fun person. He’s such a natural, like in life. He’s never been nervous about anything in his entire life, so it’s pretty fun.

She added: “He’s all the things; he’s fun, vibrant, has this infectious personality, makes me laugh so much. There’s a line in the song [‘Wi$h Li$t’] that you just wanted a best friend who you think is hot. Well, that’s kind of it, you know?”

Tesla (TSLA 3.94%) shares fell more than 4% last Thursday as investors digested disappointing Tesla vehicle registration data in Europe ahead of the company’s third-quarter deliveries update expected in early October. The electric vehicle maker sells premium battery-electric cars and energy storage products globally, with meaningful exposure to the European market.

The market’s question now is simple: Does the regional weakness point to a poor quarter, or is it mostly noise inside a broader and still-uncertain recovery?

The latest Europe read was weak

News out Thursday showed Tesla’s European Union registrations fell about 37% year over year in August to roughly 8,200 vehicles, marking a second straight month in which the China-based BYD outsold Tesla in the bloc. Including the broader European region (the U.K., Norway, and other EFTA countries), Tesla still led in absolute units for August, but registrations were down about 22% year over year, underscoring persistent pressure in the region.

This softness in Europe follows a tough second quarter for the electric car maker. In Q2, Tesla delivered just over 384,000 vehicles — down 13% from about 444,000 in the year-ago period.

It is also worth recalling the company’s tone on the latest earnings call. CEO Elon Musk acknowledged that the near term may not be smooth, noting that things could get “rough” before they get better over the next few quarters. While that comment doesn’t guarantee weak third-quarter deliveries, it frames Tesla’s headlines about European deliveries within management’s own caution about the path back to growth.

Setting expectations for Q3

With only days left in the period when the August Europe data hit the tape, the right way to think about Q3 is probably through a conservative range, not a single-point guess. Start with what we know: Tesla delivered about 384,000 vehicles in the second quarter, it delivered roughly 463,000 in last year’s third quarter, and outside Europe there are mixed but not universally negative signals. Some trackers have flagged improving weekly registrations in parts of Europe late in September, and several outlooks have pointed to steadier demand in China and the U.S., even as Europe stays choppy. Still, Europe’s August decline argues for caution.

A reasonable, conservative estimate for Q3 deliveries is 430,000 to 455,000. The low end assumes Europe remains a drag through quarter-end and that China/U.S. improvement only partly offsets it. The high end assumes late-September sequential gains in key markets and typical quarter-end logistics help. That range sits close to widely cited expectations near the mid-440,000s and acknowledges both the seasonal lift from Q2 and the regional weakness that surfaced this week. For reference, landing near 445,000 would be down modestly year over year versus the roughly 463,000 delivered in last year’s third quarter.

Of course, in the end, no one knows where deliveries will come from. Further, note that this is a conservative estimate. There’s always a chance that deliveries could come in above this range (or even below).

Meanwhile, the stock’s valuation doesn’t help the bull case. At a market value well above $1 trillion and with a price-to-earnings ratio of 252 as of this writing, the stock embeds high expectations well beyond one quarter’s deliveries. Such a high valuation leaves less cushion if third-quarter deliveries disappoint, or if commentary points to rough demand trends going into year-end.

Of course, there are some significant positives for investors to consider, too. Energy storage deployments remain a bright spot. Furthermore, a recent Model Y refresh, advancements in self-driving technology, and a planned upcoming vehicle launch could all contribute to increased demand in the second half of the year. But given this fresh data on Tesla registrations in the E.U., it’s fair to say that risk sits a bit higher heading into next week’s update.

The bigger story, anyway, will be a forward-looking one. Investors should look for any insight management provides on how quickly it thinks deliveries can reaccelerate. Because sales are going to need to pick up sharply at some point in order for Tesla’s fundamentals to live up to its stock price.

When the 49th Vice President of the United States Kamala Harris called, Scott Evans, the host of the YouTube interview show “House Guest,” answered in disbelief.

“I was literally gobsmacked,” Evans tells The Times. “I wanted to make sure she felt the love and that we were ready to discuss anything she wanted.”

In its short-lived history, the Webby Award-winning, self-funded show has welcomed comedian Leslie Jones, Oscar winner Regina King and actor Keke Palmer. On Thursday, Evans entertained a guest with secret service stature.

During her visit, Harris discusses her book “107 Days,” which entails her experience as a presidential candidate during the 2024 election. She revealed to Evans he was the first person she discussed the book with outside of her team.

The housewarming vibes set the tone for a conversation that allowed Harris to speak with comfort and embrace emojis, a delicacy she had been without during her time in the White House.

As they discussed her book, Evans and Harris shared a cheese and anchovies pizza. The host made the choice to commemorate the day she found out President Joe Biden was going to drop out of the race for the house on Pennsylvania Avenue.

“The first day you found out that Joe Biden was not going to be running for reelection and that you got the go-ahead,” Evans said, “cheese pizza with anchovies is where you went.”

Harris reveals she found out Biden was going to drop out of the presidential race while playing with her niece’s daughters. She was in her sweatpants, with her hair in a ponytail, when the unexpected call went through.

“This is really happening and the only people staffing me are both under 4 feet tall,” Harris said. “My little baby nieces … firsthand witnesses to history.”

She recalls her team coming together immediately and turning her dining table from a breakfast setting to business. Work for her campaign began and as the day elongated and dinner time passed, they ordered pizza, including one with cheese and anchovies.

In her book, Harris calls the day she certified the election one of the hardest things she’s ever had to do. As vice president and president of the senate, it was her responsibility to confirm the election on Jan. 6, a date in infamy after the insurrection that took place on the same date in 2021. Evans asked her if there was ever a moment in which she didn’t want to take the high road.

“It was nonnegotiable in my mind that I would stand there and give it the process, the dignity that it deserves of showing what leadership should be about, which is a peaceful transfer of power,” Harris said.

“I was not going to let them, in any way, compromise every reason that I ran for president, which is that I do believe in the importance of the rule of law,” she added.

After conceding the election, Harris tells Evans she grieved and experienced emotions that resembled those she felt when her mother died.

“I choose not to allow circumstances or individuals disempower my spirit,” she added as an emotional Evans added: “If you can say that, if you can really believe that, then there are so many others of us who can feel confident in that as well.”
