Jimmy Kimmel Live Paul McCartney talked for the first time about performing at Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding during his appearance Friday on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
It was previously confirmed that McCartney performed the Beatles’ “I Want to Hold Your Hand” at Swift’s Madison Square Garden wedding. Guests have been pretty tight-lipped about the ceremony in the months since, but McCartney did reveal why he sang at the wedding.
“She asked me to do it,” McCartney told Kimmel, adding that Swift herself requested “I Want to Hold Your Hand,” which he hadn’t played live since performing it with the Beatles back in 1964.
Swift was onstage with McCartney during the performance — “I said, ‘You should sing along, and you should sing it to your man,'” he told Kimmel — but it’s unclear if the pair duet on what Rolling Stone called “the perfect Beatles wedding song.”
