The Prince of Wales expressed his gratitude to Taylor Swift for a “great concert,” sharing a photo of the pop superstar taking a selfie with him and his children, George and Charlotte.
The future king, who celebrated his 42nd birthday at Wembley Stadium, was seen enthusiastically dancing to “Shake It Off.”
“Thank you Taylor Swift for a great evening,” Prince William posted on Instagram.
Swift also shared the selfie on her Instagram, featuring her boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce. “Happy Bday M8,” she wrote. “London shows are off to a splendid start.”
The event drew a star-studded crowd, including William’s cousin Zara Tindall and her husband Mike Tindall, Bridgerton’s Nicola Coughlan, and model Cara Delevingne. Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer also attended, taking a break from his campaign to enjoy the concert.
Prince William has previously joined Swift and Jon Bon Jovi for a rendition of “Livin’ On A Prayer” at a 2013 charity event at Kensington Palace.
Swift is performing three shows at the 90,000-capacity Wembley Stadium this weekend and will return for five more in August. London, caught up in “Taylor-mania,” has even seen its iconic Tube map redrawn to mark her arrival. Her song “Shake It Off” was played during the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace.
The economic impact of Swift’s Eras Tour on London is substantial, with fans expected to boost the city’s economy by £300 million. Nearly 640,000 people are anticipated to attend her eight shows, making London the city with the most Eras Tour dates.
