Clare Byrne 0:01
The Clare Byrne Show on Newstalk. With Aviva Insurance. to cover but that only encouraged our Henry McKean who joins us now from New York and Henry yesterday when we were chatting we were kind of shooting the breeze around ways that we could get you in inside Madison Square Gardens and we were toying with the idea that maybe you could try and get a job as a caterer maybe join the catering gang and that might that might get you inside the tent
Henry McKean 0:46
No, I am trying. I'm trying to get in. And you're right. I did see caterers. That is my best option. So I need to get myself like a sort of chef outfit in black. That's what they're wearing, all black and a kind of sort of chef smock. And that way, I think I'll be able to walk through the front door. But yeah, we're going to the chapel, but we're not going to the chapel. We're going to Madison Square Garden. And yeah, multiple sources are saying that They're already married.

How is Henry McKean trying to gain access to the wedding?

Henry McKean 1:13
And today is basically a massive party. It's dropped. The temperature's dropped slightly to 38 degrees. Oh, I'm glad. But it's still like kind of a sort of roast chicken coming out of an oven. And over the last few hours... That's what you're like, is it? Well, I'm basically, exactly, I am a roast chicken ready to, that's what I should go as. I should go as a roast chicken. That's how I'll get in to the pickest wedding of the century.
Clare Byrne 1:43
So who's there? Have you spotted anyone or have people spotted anyone around New York who might be going to this thing?
Henry McKean 1:50
Well, I'll let you into a secret. I spent two hours in West Village yesterday looking for Ed Sheeran and I couldn't find him. I couldn't find him. He was there somewhere.

What celebrities have been spotted in New York for the wedding?

Clare Byrne 1:59
Did you have information that he was there?
Henry McKean 2:01
Yes. And I was, you know, keeping an eye on these very large SUVs, proper paparazzi stuff.
Clare Byrne 2:08
But no, I couldn't find him. No sign of him. Trying to find Ed Sheeran, who probably, let's face it, in the temperatures, given his complexion, was probably like a roast chicken as well. And you didn't find each other.
Henry McKean 2:23
No, no. Well, he probably saw me and legged it. But yeah, so Graham Norton, he's been spotted at the airport. Also, the mother of the groom, Donna Kelsey, has been spotted. Selena Gomez is rumoured to be bridesmaid too. So lots and lots of excitement there. And the thing is, they're hiding the stars in their massive SUVs. And they go into these, you could say, massive tents. So the media and the public can't see them as they arrive into Madison Square Garden. So we're not sure exactly who is there. But we did see Taylor Swift's SUV. It was silver. And I know this sounds a little bit crazy, but I could feel her aura coming through. out of the car. It was definitely, she was inside that car. I just know it.
Henry McKean 3:10
She was in that car. You are now making this up. Well, this is it. The media are finding it very difficult.
Clare Byrne 3:18
Did you learn this in journalism school to say that you felt Taylor Swift's aura coming from it?
Henry McKean 3:24
I felt her aura. The Swifties would understand this.

How are local businesses affected by the wedding event?

Henry McKean 3:27
They would back me on this.
Clare Byrne 3:28
They would, in fairness. They would. Okay, so that's good. So you've managed to find Taylor's aura. Anything else you found there in New York?
Henry McKean 3:36
Well, you know, I met lots of, you could say, fans. And it is like a royal wedding. And that's exactly how people are describing it. It's a prince and a princess getting married.
It's like a royal wedding for Americans. It's cool. It's fantastic. One of the most famous people, and we're fans of her, and she's done a lot for everything. For all of us to be happy. For fashion, for the world, and this is the exact amount of happiness that we need right now.
Henry McKean 4:05
You're fans, and you're looking for that exact amount of happiness here in the 40 degree heat. Is it the wedding of the century?
I would say, yeah. Absolutely. Next to maybe Kate and William. I was about to say. Yeah, it's like a royal wedding. Yeah. I wish it was live broadcast. I would have enjoyed a watch party.
Henry McKean 4:24
and a watch party would be amazing. And like that, I was lucky enough to be there at Kate and Will's wedding back in 2011, all those years ago.
