Swift, who is engaged to NFL star Travis Kelce, appeared on the show on October 3 alongside fellow celebrities Greta Lee, Jodie Turner-Smith, Lewis Capaldi, and Domhnall Gleeson, with Murphy also on the couch. The show’s host, Graham Norton, naturally asked Swift about the ring, prompting the pop superstar to visibly giddy over the moment. She joked it was a “hardware upgrade” while showing off the sparkling piece to Norton before turning to the other guests amid cheers from the audience.

Murphy’s Reaction Becomes Viral Sensation
While the room erupted in excitement, it was Murphy who caught the attention of social media users. Instead of reacting with surprise or enthusiasm, the Peaky Blinders star simply smiled and clapped along, maintaining a calm and composed demeanor. His subtle, almost detached response quickly went viral as fans shared clips and photos, highlighting his stoic presence.
On Twitter, users found humor in Murphy’s reaction—or lack thereof—with one fan commenting, “I’m crying… He doesn’t even want to be there. He’s so unintentionally funny.” Others echoed similar sentiments, joking about his deadpan presence amid the celebration.
