Jodie Turner-Smith breaks silence after very awkward Taylor Swift question
Actress Jodie Turner-Smith has spoken out after it was claimed she found herself in a very awkward position with Taylor Swift during an appearance on The Graham Norton Show
Jodie Turner-Smith has revealed the truth behind her awkward interaction with Taylor Swift. The British actress appeared on last week's episode of The Graham Norton Show alongside Lewis Capaldi, Taylor, Cillian Murphy, Greta Lee and Domhnall Gleeson on October 3.
However, it was reported after the show aired that one part of the filming was cut from the final broadcast at the last minute, following a very awkward question. During the show, Taylor spoke openly about her recent engagement to NFL star Travis Kelce, while flashing her extremely large diamond ring.
After the show aired, an audience member took to social media to claim that during the filming, Jodie, 39, asked Taylor a very awkward question about her future with Travis. The pop star who recently released her latest album, The Life of a Showgirl, was being grilled on her engagement and wedding planning.
Things allegedly turned "uncomfortable" when Jodie asked: "And what about babies?" The audience member went on to claim on TikTok: "Now I know what she meant, she was asking Taylor, 'Are you going to have babies soon?' But Taylor thought she was asking if babies were coming to the wedding, so Taylor went, 'Oh no, under-18s are coming to the wedding, just adults!'"
The social media user added: "I feel that should have been the end of it, but it wasn't, because Jodie then said, 'No, no, I mean are you going to have babies?'" The TikTok user said she felt it was inappropriate and that Jodie "should know better than to ask that."
But now Jodie has responded to the backlash. Taking to Instagram, the Tron: Ares star shared a backstage snaps of herself with Taylor. Posing in the corridor of the TV studios where The Graham Norton Show is filmed, the pair looked super relaxed alongside one another.
Captioning her post, Jodie said: "@taylorswift you're an absolute babe! My love for you grows with each encounter! Thrilled for you and all you've accomplished, and YES, I'm always gonna have piping hot tea for you."
Despite the alleged awkward atmosphere in the TV studio after Jodie's questions directed at Taylor, the social media user stated that Taylor may not have wanted to respond to this, as she may not want children, may not be able to have them and didn't need to justify a response.
The TikTok user continued: "Anyway, Graham was so on top of it. Instantly, he went, 'That's an off-camera conversation to have.' And then they moved on. So that was a big one that got cut out." Fans praised Graham for moving the conversation on as one said: "Good on Graham for shutting the baby question down!"
Another added: "Graham Norton is a sweetheart. You can tell there is a genuine and mutual affection between him and Taylor. Seeing as she chose his show as the only UK TV interview. You’re also so lucky to get in."
Someone else commented: "Do you think the guests kind of forget they’re in front of an audience and just talking and asking questions like it's a private conversation?" A fourth praised: "I've seen Graham twice now and he is so incredibly professional."
