Kathie Lee Gifford confirmed live on air on Thursday, Aug. 23, that she was at the Kennedy wedding and saw Taylor Swift leaving the wedding with boyfriend Conor Kennedy, after the singer crashed the event and then was asked to leave - twice.

"I was out in the hallway, she was waiting, standing around, and he came out, took her by the hand and they left," Gifford said on "TODAY."

Gifford is the stepmother of Victoria Gifford Kennedy, the mother of the bride.

Victoria reportedly asked Swift to leave the wedding after she was not invited and also because "she did not want Swift there so as to not take attention away from her daughter," according to the Huffington Post.

Gifford added to the reports by saying the following:

"[Victoria] didn't know if [Conor] was coming or not. She heard that he might be, but he got in touch with her an hour earlier, and said, basically, 'Can I bring my girlfriend?' [Victoria] said very nicely, 'please do not come.' Guess what? They came.

"It's the bride's day, and that was Vicki's other concern. 'This is my daughter's day and I would appreciate it if you would not come,' she said."

Victoria told the Boston Herald that Conor attempted to RSVP and ask if he could bring Swift only an hour before the actual wedding and when they showed up regardless of her saying no, she asked Swift, "whose entrance distracted the entire event," to please leave.

"I personally went up to Ms. Swift... politely introduced myself to her, and asked her as nicely as I could to leave. [But] It was like talking to a ghost. She seemed to look right past me," she said in the interview.
