Taylor Swift brought her Eras Tour to London’s Wembley Stadium on Friday, attracting a star-studded audience that included the Prince of Wales and his children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte.
Prince William, who was celebrating his 42nd birthday, along with the royal children, had the opportunity to meet Swift and her boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce, backstage.
The official @KensingtonRoyal account shared a photo of Swift taking a selfie with Prince William, Princess Charlotte, and Prince George, expressing gratitude to Taylor Swift for the memorable evening.
Swift also shared a photo on her official account, showing herself and Kelce with the Royal trio, captioned with “Happy Bday M8! London shows are off to a splendid start.”
Celebrity fans in attendance included Nicola Coughlan, Cara Delevingne, Salma Hayek, and Leslie Mann, as evidenced by photos shared by Jonathan Van Ness, who was also present at the concert.
Swift kicked off the show by acknowledging the massive crowd of 88,446 people in the stadium, expressing her gratitude for their presence on a beautiful Friday night in London during the summer.
She fondly recalled her earlier gigs in the city, setting the stage for a series of eight London shows, the most in any city worldwide.
The Mayor of London anticipates nearly 700,000 attendees at Swift's London performances, with an economic boost estimated at £300 million ($379.5 million USD) for the capital.
