The royal family showed their Swiftie side at Taylor Swift’s London Eras Tour concert, marking a memorable evening with selfies, dancing, and heartfelt captions. Let’s dive into this royal night out that’s got everyone talking.
A Royal Night Out with Taylor Swift
On June 21, the first night of Taylor Swift’s highly anticipated Eras Tour stop at Wembley Stadium in London, Prince William, 42, and his two eldest children, Prince George, 10, and Princess Charlotte, 9, attended the concert. The royal trio enjoyed an evening filled with music, dance, and exclusive backstage moments with the pop icon herself.
Capturing the Moment
Taylor Swift, 34, took a memorable selfie with Prince William, Prince George, and Princess Charlotte, which was later shared on the official Instagram account of the Prince and Princess of Wales. The caption read, “Thank you @taylorswift for a great evening! #LondonTSTheErastour,” highlighting the royal family’s excitement and gratitude.
In a separate Instagram post on her own account, Swift shared another snapshot featuring the same royal trio along with her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, 34. Swift captioned her post, “Happy Bday M8! London shows are off to a splendid start 🇬🇧🇺🇸🤝,” in reference to Prince William’s birthday, adding an extra layer of celebration to the night.
Dancing to ‘Shake It Off’
The concert was not just about photos and greetings. Prince William was seen letting loose and dancing to Swift’s hit song “Shake It Off,” much to the delight of fans. This rare glimpse of the prince’s relaxed and joyful side added a personal touch to the evening and made headlines.
Family Fun without Prince Louis
While Prince George and Princess Charlotte enjoyed the concert, their younger brother, Prince Louis, 6, stayed home with mom Kate Middleton, 42. The Princess of Wales has been keeping a low profile due to her ongoing cancer treatment but made a special appearance at Trooping the Colour on June 15, marking her first public outing with the royals since Christmas.
Welcoming Taylor to London
Earlier in the day, Taylor Swift received a warm welcome from the royal guard, who played her song “Shake It Off” in front of Buckingham Palace. The royal family shared a video of this special performance on social media, captioned, “Can’t stop, won’t stop groovin’🫡🥁🎺,” adding to the celebratory atmosphere.
A History of Royal and Swift Encounters
This isn’t the first time Prince William and Taylor Swift have crossed paths. Back in 2013, the singer led the prince to the stage during a Centrepoint charity event at Kensington Palace to join Jon Bon Jovi for a rendition of “Livin’ on a Prayer.” Their interaction continued at the 2023 Tusk Conservation Awards, where Prince William expressed his admiration for Swift while chatting with The Rolling Stones’ Ronnie Wood.
Meghan Markle Joins the Swiftie Ranks
Interestingly, Prince William’s sister-in-law, Meghan Markle, also showed her appreciation for Taylor Swift by attending her August 2023 tour stop in Los Angeles, indicating that Swift’s music resonates with various members of the royal family.
