Taylor Swift Posted A Selfie With The Royal Family At The Eras Tour
Fan videos captured Prince William and his kids dancing to “Shake It Off.”
Prince William and his children are confirmed Swifties. On Friday, June 21, he attended the London Eras Tour with two of his children, Prince George, 10, and Princess Charlotte, 9. It served as a birthday celebration for William, who turned 42 on Friday. The family was seen dancing and singing in the stands.
Amid the crowd at Wembley Stadium, folks were quick to spot the three royals. Videos posted to social media showed Prince William serving up moves during “Shake It Off,” and the reaction from fans was immediate. “OKAY PRINCE WILLIAM,” one fan wrote, while another said, “prince william being a 1989 girlie is taking me OUT.”
And it seems the night only got more exciting, as the official royal Instagram account later posted a photo of William and the children taking a selfie with Swift backstage. “Thank you @taylorswift for a great evening!” the caption read.
Swift then posted another selfie of the group along with Travis Kelce, wishing the prince a happy birthday. “Happy Bday M8! London shows are off to a splendid start,” the post read, tagging the official Royal Family account.
This isn’t the first interaction between the royal family and Taylor Swift. In 2013, Prince William and Taylor Swift actually sang “Livin’ On a Prayer” together with Bon Jovi at the Winter Whites charity gala at Kensington Palace.
More Celebrities Who Attended The London Eras Tour
Friday night’s show was the first of three Eras Tour performances in London. In addition to the royal family’s appearance, there were several other A-list celebrities in attendance.
Bridgerton star Nicola Coughlan was there and posted a shot of her friendship bracelets before the show, with song titles like “Down Bad” and “Blank Space” visible in her stack. Coughlan was joined by Queer Eye star Jonathan Van Ness and their partner, Mark Peacock. Van Ness also posted concert selfies with Leslie Mann, Salma Hayek, and Cara Delevingne.
“Easily the most fun more gorgeous night of my life,” Van Ness wrote on Instagram. “Your talent & care for people is like not even of this world.”
