Taylor Swift’s highly anticipated Eras Tour made its grand debut in London, delivering a spectacular show with plenty of memorable moments. Performing at Wembley Stadium, the “Fortnight” singer put on an energetic performance for an audience packed with celebrities. Among the famous attendees were her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, and her close friend, model Cara Delevingne. Bridgerton star Nicola Coughlan was also spotted enjoying the sold-out concert. However, it was the presence of royalty that truly captivated fans, as Prince William attended with his two eldest children, Prince George, 10, and Princess Charlotte, 9.
Celebrating his birthday, William took George and Charlotte backstage to meet Swift, where the group snapped a selfie together. Swift, holding the camera, captured a sweet moment with her boyfriend alongside the royals, both children grinning brightly. Later, Swift shared the photo with her Instagram followers, captioning it, “Happy Bday, M8! London shows are off to a splendid start,” adding a Union Jack flag, a star-spangled banner, and a handshake emoji.
Interestingly, the Prince and Princess of Wales’ social media account had already posted a picture of Swift taking the selfie just minutes earlier. Their post thanked Swift for a wonderful evening, and a video of “Prince William dancing and having a good time” quickly gained traction on social media, delighting fans.
Notably absent from the concert was Kate Middleton, who has taken a step back from public appearances after being diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer earlier. Although the Princess of Wales made a public return at Trooping the Colour after beginning “preventative chemotherapy,” her ongoing treatment has kept her away from events. In a note shared publicly, she wrote about learning patience through uncertainty, focusing on healing and taking things one day at a time.
