U.K. TV host Graham Norton apparently had to intervene during a recent sit-down with Taylor Swift after another guest’s line of questioning started getting uncomfortable. The 35-year-old pop superstar was on The Graham Norton Show last week to promote the launch of her new album, The Life of a Showgirl, when actress Jodie Turner-Smith suddenly asked Swift if she had any plans to have a child with her fiancé Travis Kelce. Swift apparently deflected but Turner-Smith continued to press her before Norton cut in, describing it as an “an off-camera conversation to have.” A member of the audience that night, who first disclosed the awkward exchange, says it now appears to have been edited from the version of the show that was eventually broadcast. “I was like, girl? First of all you don’t ask someone that, you should know better than to ask that,” the audience member said in a video posted to TikTok. “Especially on a television show. Like, she’s not going to answer that for you.”
