Taylor Swift has fans buzzing again, but not for her music this time. During a recent appearance on the UK’s Graham Norton Show on October 3, Swift displayed her massive engagement ring from Travis Kelce, joking it was a “hardware upgrade” while showing it off to fellow guests. The pop superstar was joined by celebrities including Greta Lee, Jodie Turner-Smith, Lewis Capaldi, Domhnall Gleeson, and Cillian Murphy.
Murphy’s moment steals the spotlight
While the crowd cheered and Swift excitedly showcased the ring, it was Cillian Murphy who captured attention on social media — not for dramatic excitement, but for his remarkably calm demeanor. Instead of leaning in or reacting visibly, Murphy simply clapped and smiled, prompting fans to flood Twitter with hilarious reactions.
One user wrote, “I’m crying… He doesn’t even want to be there. He’s so unintentionally funny.” Another added, “He really is nonchalance final boss. His body doesn’t even move when Taylor extends her hand.” Other fans joked about his polite yet indifferent approach, praising his low-key composure amid the chaos.
The band days reveal a softer side
Murphy’s calm reaction may come from his own adventures in the music world. On the show, he revealed that as a teenager in the 1990s, he played in a band called The Sons of Mr Green Genes. The band was offered a five-album record deal, which they ultimately declined. “We were kids, and my parents said no. They wouldn’t let my brother ruin his life,” Murphy recounted with a laugh. “They let me potentially ruin mine, but then we disbanded. It didn’t happen.”
Social media swoons
Fans continue to admire Murphy’s blend of polite attention and effortless detachment. Instagram commenters noted, “He doesn’t care but he’s polite. More people should be like that,” and “He at least clapped for her, that’s the nicest thing Cillian can do.” Some even joked that his subtle gestures captured a universal sentiment: trying to be happy for someone while quietly surviving the spectacle.
Murphy’s reaction highlights the charm of understated celebrity moments in an age of over-the-top social media reactions. Swift’s engagement announcement may have been the headline, but it’s Murphy’s composed applause that has the internet swooning, proving that sometimes, less really is more.
