Taylor Swift joined by Travis Kelce and 7 other chaotic moments from London Eras Tour
We all knew Taylor Swift’s London shows for the Eras Tour were going to be epic but her three-night stint at Wembley was beyond our wildest dreams.
From the Sir Paul McCartney dancing to But Daddy, I Love Him to Travis Kelce getting on stage in a top hat for a whole routine, it’s been one for the history books.
The list of celebrities attending across the weekend was almost as long as the mammoth three-and-a-half-hour setlist and included actual royalty for Prince William’s birthday.
Taylor decided to shake off Dave Grohl’s not-so-subtle dig and put on three of her most unhinged shows of the entire tour for the 89,000 people (per night) watching.
This was only the first round as the 35-year-old superstar will return to London for five more shows in August – possibly by then Reputation TV will have finally been announced.
There’s no denying Taylor wanted fans to ‘remember this moment’ so here are the most bonkers moments from London nights one, two, and three.
Travis Kelce’s surprise stage debut
Talk about hard launching your partner, Taylor Swift’s boyfriend Travis, 34, took to the stage at London night three for her Tortured Poets Department set.
The NFL star appeared with dancers Kam and Jan in a top hat and tuxedo as she changed from her iconic cream dress into I Can Do It With A Broken Heart set.
Travis beamed as he pretended to apply makeup to Taylor’s face during the skit, which sees the So High School singer pretending she doesn’t want to perform.
In one dramatic moment, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end picked up his girlfriend and carried her across the stage with the fans absolutely losing their minds.
The Beatles’ star Sir Paul McCartney got out and about, trading friendship bracelets with Swifties and even stopping to dance with a group.
Leaving the shelter of the (jam-packed) VIP tent, the 82-year-old singer was filmed dancing to one of Taylor’s newest hits But Daddy I Love Him in the crowd.

This is actually the second time this has happened to the Enchanted singer as just over a year ago in Chicago the same thing happened.
During her performance of Champagne Problems in the windy city, she announced: ‘I just swallowed a bug. I’m so sorry. It’s totally fine.
‘It’s just stupid,’ she added before coughing up the creature and joking: ‘Delicious’.
Hugh Grant thanks Taylor’s ‘gigantic boyfriend’
Another day, another huge celebrity at the Eras Tour and this time it was Hugh Grant gracing the VIP tent.
‘Dear @taylorswift13,’ he wrote on X. ‘You have an incredible show, an amazing and v hospitable team and excellent if gigantic boyfriend (#tequilashots.).’
It’s unknown who the dedicated Swifties were, with fans hazarding a guess at the likes of Matty Healy or Joe Alwyn (who decided to head to New York for the weekend).
A statement from Wembley Stadium put fears to rest though as they shared: ‘We can confirm the individuals on the roof of Saturday night’s performance of Taylor Swift The Eras Tour were pre-approved professionals as part of the pyrotechnic team, equipped with full safety equipment.’
Those epic surprise songs ft Hayley Williams and Gracie Abrams
Any Swiftie knows the highlight of the evening is seeing what Taylor sings for the acoustic set.
Her surprise songs span anything in her discography with mashups including Edinburgh N3’s Haunted x Exile to ‘old’ tracks like Crazier from the Hannah Montana movie (yes, really).
London was treated to some incredible songs like a mashup of 1989, switching from Out of the Woods to Is It Over Now? to heartbreak anthem Clean.
Shockingly, expected tracks So Long, London and London Boy did not make it onto the set this time round – but with five more shows to go that could change.
