Prince William celebrated his 42nd birthday in a unique way, attending Taylor Swift’s concert at Wembley Stadium in London on June 21, 2024. Joined by his children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, William was spotted enjoying the evening among a crowd of 90,000 Swifties. The concert marked the beginning of the London leg of Swift’s Eras Tour, which was attended by numerous celebrities, including Swift’s boyfriend, NFL player Travis Kelce, who appeared in an official photo with her on Instagram for the first time.
Prince William took to Instagram to share his excitement, posting a photo and thanking Swift for the “great evening.” Fans were thrilled to see the future king and his children reveling in the concert’s joy, with many commenting on social media about the unexpected yet delightful sight of the royals at a Taylor Swift show. One user humorously suggested that William might be the true Swiftie, only bringing his children as a cover.
This isn’t the first time Prince William has connected with Taylor Swift. In 2013, he shared the stage with Swift and Jon Bon Jovi at a charity event at Kensington Palace, where they performed “Livin’ On A Prayer.” William later recounted the moment, describing how Swift’s encouragement led him to join the impromptu performance despite his initial hesitation.
Swift also shared the concert experience on her Instagram, posting a picture with William and her boyfriend, Kelce, along with a playful birthday message for the prince. This moment was particularly notable as it was the first time Swift had posted an official photo with Kelce on social media, sparking reactions from fans who were amused by the unexpected combination of Swift, Kelce, and the British royals.
William’s appreciation for Swift’s music was further highlighted at the 2023 Tusk Conservation Awards, where he mentioned Swift during a conversation with Ronnie Wood of The Rolling Stones. Reflecting on their past interactions and expressing interest in seeing her perform again, William’s remarks underscored his admiration for the artist.
The evening at Wembley was a joyous celebration for William, providing a memorable birthday spent with his children and enjoying one of the world’s biggest pop stars.
