He then asked Shepherd, “Did you see the concert, the Eras Tour?”
“I did not get to see the concert,” she replied, prompting Norton to gasp in apparent surprise.
Norton proceeded to share a hilarious story about his own private Eras Tour VIP experience in Ireland.
“I went in Dublin, and it was kind of organized through my show and through Taylor’s people,” Norton recalled. “So I’ve been shown in, and I realize we are heading for the VIP tent. You know, the one on the ground. So we’re in Ireland and I’m thinking, ‘Who else will be in the VIP tent? Will Bono be there? The prime minister?’ "
“We get there. It was just me,” he deadpanned.

“In the big old VIP tent?” asked an amused Shepherd as the audience erupted into laughter.
“No one else!” exclaimed Norton. “Me and a full bar, thank you, Taylor!”
“It wasn’t full when I left,” he quipped. “And Taylor provides nice drinks.”
“So you met her?” asked Shepherd.
“No! No, no, no!” replied Norton.
“You didn’t get to meet her?” replied Shepherd.
“I was alone, literally. I was alone in a tent for four hours. But I saw a lot of Taylor Swift, in the distance. And I drank her bar dry,” Norton joked.
“It was a very good night,” he added. “I’m not complaining in any way.”
