Mark Ronson shared that he recently performed at Selena Gomez’s wedding and is now keeping his calendar clear in case Taylor Swift wants him to DJ her big day
Mark Ronson has revealed that he recently DJ’d at Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s wedding and joked that he’s keeping his year free in case Taylor Swift asks him to do the same for hers.
Speaking to Scott Mills on BBC Radio 2’s Breakfast Show, the music producer opened up about his friendship with Blanco, his famous stepfather Mick Jones, and some behind-the-scenes secrets from his career.
Ronson told Mills that his stepdad, Foreigner guitarist Mick Jones, wrote the iconic love song I Want to Know What Love Is for his mother. “That song is actually about my mum,” he said, adding that it’s surreal to have such a legendary ballad tied to his family’s story.
The Uptown Funk hitmaker also laughed as he debunked one of MTV’s biggest illusions – the celebrity homes featured on MTV Cribs. “Most of those houses weren’t real,” he admitted. “People would rent or borrow fancy places to look rich. The only real house was mine and it was tiny.”

Ronson said he feels grateful that Uptown Funk has become such a popular wedding song. “I love that people still dance to it, especially at weddings. It’s kind of wild that it’s turned into that kind of classic,” he said.
During the chat, Mills brought up Foreigner’s recent public offer to play at Taylor Swift’s wedding, prompting Ronson to reveal he’s keeping his schedule open just in case.
Scott asked: “Hey, I saw that Foreigner have offered to play Taylor Swift’s wedding. Have you seen that?” To which Mark replied: “Yeah, I saw that too.”
Scott continued: “I wonder if she’s said anything yet.” Before Mark laughed and said: “I think there’s a lot of people putting themselves up for that gig. Me – I’m keeping the year open as well.”
Scott joked: “You never know.” To which Mark agreed: “Exactly. You don’t know who’s going to get the call. I did DJ a wedding that apparently she was at a week ago.”
Scott then sounded surprised, as he asked: “A week ago?” To which Mark replied: “Yeah. I didn’t see her on the dancefloor, so I probably didn’t do the best job of selling my services there.”
Scott then asked: “Was this the Selena Gomez wedding?” Before Mark confirmed: “It was. This was that.”
He went on to share how he got the gig. “I’ve known Benny for ten years,” he explained. “When he got engaged, he said, ‘Will you come and do like a ’90s DJ set at my wedding?’ and I was like, sure.”
As the chat wrapped up, Mills teased that Taylor Swift should book Ronson for her own big day. Mark laughed, adding, “You could also get a good deal – maybe a Foreigner-Mark Ronson wedding package.”
