Prince William & Kids Attend Taylor Swift Concert

Taylor Swift is getting the royal treatment in London.

The pop princess posed for a selfie with Britain’s Prince William and his two older children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, during her Eras Tour stop on Friday at Wembley Stadium, as seen on the Prince and Princess of Wales’s official Instagram account. The snap shows Swift extending her arm and grinning as she holds a phone to capture the selfie. “Thank you @taylorswift for a great evening! #LondonTSTheErastour,” the post’s caption read.

For the occasion, the royal family traded in their formal garb for a more laid-back look. William wore a blue button-up shirt and jacket, while George matched his ensemble in a light blue button-up and jeans. In a fun fashion moment, Princess Charlotte opted for a white sequin-covered T-shirt.

Swift also shared her own photo of the royal meeting, which included her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, in the snap. “Happy Bday M8! London shows are off to a splendid start 🇬🇧🇺🇸🤝,” the singer captioned her post, referencing Prince William’s birthday. William, who turned 42 on Friday, opted to celebrate his big day at the Eras Tour alongside his kids (and Swift, of course).

Kensington Palace confirmed to Harper’s Bazaar that William’s wife, Princess Kate, stayed home with youngest child Prince Louis—who seemed to get all his dancing energy out last week at the Trooping the Colour ceremony. The Princess of Wales has stayed out of the public eye in recent months as she continues her cancer treatment, although she also made an appearance at Trooping the Colour, marking her first official public outing with the royals since Christmas. Earlier this year, she opened up about leaning on her husband during her treatment, calling William a “great source of comfort and reassurance.”

Kate kicked off William’s birthday celebrations with an nontraditional family portrait, which showed the heir to the British throne holding hands with all three of his children as they jumped together off a sand dune on the beach. Kate left a sweet message for her husband in the caption, signing off with a C for Catherine: “Happy birthday Papa, we all love you so much! Cx.”

William—who seems to be a bigger Swiftie than we previously thought—also started off his birthday with a nod to the singer. Earlier in the day, Swift was welcomed to London by the Royal Guard, who played her hit “Shake It Off” in front of Buckingham Palace. “Can’t stop, won’t stop groovin’🫡🥁🎺,” the royal family captioned a video of the performance on social media.
