The Prince of Wales was among the 90,000-strong crowd in London for the hottest ticket in town – celebrating his 42nd birthday dancing the night away with his three young children Prince George, 10, nine-year-old Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, six.

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 Swift’s 2014 hit Shake It Off to mark the Eras Tour arriving in the UK capital for three nights this weekend ahead of another five in August.

Princess Anne’s daughter Zara Tindall and her ex-rugby international husband Mike were among those attending Taylor Swift’s first London gig at Wembley Stadium on Friday night as part of the US singer’s record-breaking Eras Tour

Also among those thronging to last night’s Wembley Stadium show were Taylor’s supermodel-turned-actress friend Cara Delevingne, as well as Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer and his wife Victoria. 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.

Bridgerton star Nicola Coughlan, 34, was among the celebrity-studded audience who joined Kelce in the VIP area alongside Delevingne.

American hairstylist Jonathan van Ness, more commonly known as JVN, posted videos of the glitzy night featuring actress Salma Hayek.

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.
