Before her concert, Taylor Swift snapped a perfect royal selfie with the Prince of Wales and two young music fans: Prince George and Princess Charlotte. Kensington Palace shared the heartwarming photo on social media, thanking Swift for a “great evening.” For Prince William, attending the hottest show in town with his two eldest children was a way to earn maximum dad points on his 42nd birthday.

The nearly 90,000 fans in the stadium witnessed Prince William’s energetic dance moves as he grooved to Swift’s hit single “Shake It Off.” The video of his spirited dance quickly went viral, adding to the excitement of the evening.

Swift’s Eras Tour has been captivating audiences across the UK, with shows in Edinburgh, Liverpool, and Cardiff. London, where she spent part of her career, holds a special place in her heart. As she put it, it’s “the most exhilarating city in the world.”

Other notable attendees at the concert included Bridgerton star Nicola Coughlan, Labour leader Keir Starmer, Queer Eye’s Jonathan Van Ness, and model Cara Delevingne. Swift’s parents, Andrea and Scott, were also in the audience.

In the midst of the music and celebration, Prince William celebrated his 42nd birthday, making it a memorable night for both royalty and fans alike.
