What happened at Taylor Swift's wedding?
The rest is entertainment is presented by Octopus Energy.
Now, we're going to be talking about an expression which I hadn't heard till seven seconds ago, which is someone getting their flowers. Can you tell me what that means?
Well, it means like you've been around a long time, but people suddenly think, hang on a second, you're amazing and you should be recognised.
So you're finally getting your due. You're getting your flowers.
And you're being garlanded. Now, I would say someone like this is someone like Jean Smart, who plays the lead in Hacks. She plays Deborah Vance. OK, Jean Smart is extraordinary. She did a huge amount of TV and stage work. And there was a sense that she was sort of always brilliant.
Why did Taylor Swift choose Madison Square Garden for her wedding?
But then this one role came along, Deborah Vance in Hacks. They literally just give her the Emmy every year now. She gets her flowers every year. She gets her Emmy every year. As we always talk about Octopus's customer service, your account's run by about 10 or 12 people. You've got a small team.
They know who you are.
Yes, and they are permitted to send flowers every week to a customer who might just be going through something, whatever it is. So they can recognise it's not an apology. It's just because someone was going through something and you get your flowers.
Another example of they seem to do business in a very interesting and customer-focused way. Imagine if Jean Smart is an octopus customer, might get her flowers twice.
Yeah, every week.
What does Taylor Swift's wedding say about celebrity culture?
This episode is brought to you by EasyJet. You must have had that moment when you're watching a film, but you completely tune out the plot and start daydreaming about the location instead.
The bright Mediterranean colours on screen suddenly make the British weather look even greyer.
And sometimes it doesn't even take the Technicolour. Put on a black and white thriller set on the Italian coast and I'll enjoy the mystery, but part of me is already working out which flight gets me nearest, preferably with less identity theft and bluer skies.
For me, it is Greece. Once the rumours started that a certain star-studded musical was returning to the islands, that was all I needed. I was thinking about departures.

Hello, and welcome to this episode of The Rest Is Entertainment with me, Marina High.
And me, Richard Osman. Hello, Marina.
Hello, how are you?
Yeah, you know, like everyone, it's Monday morning. That's when we record.
I've had like one hour sleep. Don't even bother asking me for my recommendations at the end of this because it is tournament football all day long, all night long.
I mean, for it to be 1am and then to be moved to 2am, if it had been 7pm, like they suggested, can you imagine the ratings by the end of that game?
I'm actually fascinated to see what the ratings were.
How does Katie Price's new documentary portray her life?
I'm looking forward to that.
Also this week, you went to Wembley for another very exciting event.
I went to Harry Styles. Wow. Yeah, I went from the El Congo game straight to Harry Styles. Very difficult to work out who the best Harry of the evening was. No, Harry Styles was totally amazing and emotional. I want to say a big thank you to Holly on Harry's team for looking after me and my sister like princesses. And to Rachel, who looks after Shania Twain, who took a picture of me crying on my sister's shoulder during Sign of the Times. It was very emotional. It was a very, very emotional evening.
What are the main themes in Katie Price's story?
I absolutely loved it.
What are we talking about today?
It's a packed show, Richard, because two people got married. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey are now married. We're going to talk about what that wedding says about them.
And Neil from Strictly got married as well.
