The Queen of Pop Taylor Swift posed for a selfie with Prince William, George and Charlotte, along with the singer’s man Travis Kelce before the rocking royal broke out his best dad dancing to Shake It Off.
It comes after The Prince of Wales was filmed eagerly joining in in the crowd which also included fellow royals Zara and Mike Tindall as well as Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer and his wife Victoria.
Taylor kicked off the London leg of her record-breaking Eras Tour at Wembley Stadium, performing to fans, celebrities and politicians alike – as well as her American footballer boyfriend.
The Prince of Wales was among the 90,000-strong crowd in London for the hottest ticket in town as Taylor kicked off the London leg of her record-breaking Eras Tour at Wembley – after he took along his children Prince George, 10, and nine-year-old Princess Charlotte.
Meanwhile, Prince Louis, six, stayed home with his mother Kate Middleton.
The Prince and Princess of Wales’s official X account posted the adorable photo with the caption: ‘Thank you Taylor Swift for a great evening!’
Soon after, the popstar posted a selfie with the royals and her boyfriend Kelce to say: ‘Happy birthday M8! London shows are off to a splendid start’ in a touching message to the heir for his 42nd birthday.
In the photo, Kelce is seen wearing his Team USA Olympics hat.
Prince William and megastar Swift have long known each other – the pair shared the stage at Kensington Palace to perform Livin’ On A Prayer with Jon Bon Jovi at a charity event in 2013.

Last night’s show came after the military band at Buckingham Palace earlier in the day performed a rendition of Shake It Of to mark the Eras Tour arriving in the UK capital for three nights this weekend ahead of another five in August.
Also among those thronging to last night’s Wembley Stadium show were Taylor’s supermodel-turned-actress friend Cara Delevingne. Ms Swift, 34, and her boyfriend were reuniting with her boyfriend Travis Kelce after a month apart, as he flew in from Cannes with his older brother Jason.
The couple, who are nearing their first anniversary, have not been seen together for over a month after they last enjoyed a romantic lunch on Lake Como, Italy, in May.
The Kansas City Chiefs star had so far been unable to support his girlfriend on the UK leg of her tour due to training commitments.

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said in a post on X, formerly Twitter, that he was taking a ‘Swift campaign pitstop’ – a break ahead of the July 4 general election – to enjoy the concert with his wife.
William previously said of his duet with Taylor at the 2013 charity event for Centrepoint that he obeyed ‘like a puppy’ her demand he join her on-stage.
He recalled in a 2021 interview: ‘I can’t believe I’m actually telling you this story – I turn up and Jon Bon Jovi and Taylor Swift are at the event, which nearly knocked me off my feet.
