Taylor Swift has taken to the stage at Wembley Stadium in front of 90,000 adoring fans including her new NFL beau Travis Kelce and his family, Daily Mail reports.
According to the report by Daily Mail, the pop princess Taylor Swift has kicked off her London Eras Tour residency and those in the star-studded VIP tent include her boyfriend Travis, his brother American footballer Jason Kelce, supermodel Cara Delevingne as well as Bridgerton darling Nicola Coughlan.
As she started her three-hour long set, Taylor Swift said: ‘You’re making me feel like tonight I get to play my first sold out show at Wembley Stadium on The Eras Tour!
She added: ‘There are 88,446 people in this stadium today.’
Including the leader of the Labour party Sir Keir Starmer and his wife. In a post on X he joked, ‘Swift’ campaign pit stop’, as the pair could be seen smiling in the stadium.
Today is the first of three sold out dates at Wembley, with the international sensation returning in August to perform another five.
Over 90,000 Swifties packed into Wembley Stadium to see the American superstar, 34, give her all in the first of her three performances in England’s capital.
And fans received quite the treat when she performed five songs in two unexpected mashups during the ‘surprise segment’ of the show.
Taylor performed a guitar mashup of Hits Different and Death By A Thousand Cuts.
She then graced her piano and performed a three-way mashup of The Black Dog into Come Back Be Here before rounding off her melody with Maroon.
The songstress had not performed The Black Dog prior to Friday and admitted to her stadium of fans that she was nervous.
The blonde beauty said: ‘I have never played this song live before so pray to God.’
Her recent mashup was fitting for her London audience because the song Come Back Be here from her album Red is a nod to her London life as she name drops the capital in her lyrics.
Elsewhere during her performance on Friday, she branded London the ‘most exhilarating city in the world’ amid a huge crowd of her fans.
Her performance also comes after split from Joe Alwyn.
Addressing her fans, Taylor is heard saying: ‘There are eighty-eight thousand four hundred and forty-six people in this stadium.
‘Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I’m thinking about how beautiful you are and just how wonderful it is thinking about the way you can spend your time in the most exhilarating city of the world.’
Before her romance with her footballer boyfriend Travis Kelce, Taylor dated actor Joe Alwyn from 2016 to 2023.
They kept their romance away from the public eye, but in typical Taylor fashion she occasionally referenced Joe in her music, despite them reportedly splitting amicably.
‘Busy schedules and differing priorities’ were the reasons given when they parted ways.
But now Taylor Swift has showed the world she can both tour the world as one of the biggest popstars in the globe and manage a blossoming love life as her and Travis have before the world’s most adored couple.
In a bid to keep the spark alive between the two during her busy schedule, she has reportedly coughed up for a £15,000 a week Cotswolds retreat during her London concerts.
Taylor, who is being supported by her footballer boyfriend Travis while in the UK, is believed to be residing in a luxury farmhouse estate, according to The Sun.
She is said to be a stones throw away form some the UK’s biggest celebrities including Posh and Becks, Simon Cowell and Amanda Holden.
The swanky property, which is near Chipping Norton, reportedly comes with its own sizeable swimming pool and extravagant tennis court.
A source told the publication: ‘Off stage, Taylor is very low key and likes her home comforts.
‘She has rented a lovely place in the Cotswolds for some downtime.’
