All the best videos from Taylor Swift’s London shows: From Travis Kelce’s surprise appearance and Prince William’s dad dancing to THAT ‘f**k the patriarchy’ chant

Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour has no doubt sent London into a frenzy, as she took over Wembley Stadium for a trio of incredible concerts over the weekend.

No stranger to producing a viral moment or two, the star’s stunning three-hour show sparked a flurry of social media clips, including a surprise apparance from her boyfriend Travis Kelce, and the slew of A-List names watching on.

Taylor’s show was also given the royal touch, with Prince William showing off his dad dancing skills while attending Saturday’s concert with son George and daughter Charlotte.

The star wasn’t afraid to show off her outspoken side, as she divided social media by encouraging the 80,000-strong crowd to chant ‘f**k the patriarchy.’

MailOnline takes a look-back at some of the most memorable moments from Taylor’s triple-header of London shows…

Travis Kelce carries girlfriend Taylor onto the stage

Taylor Swift ignited a frenzy among her Swifties by bringing boyfriend Travis Kelce onstage during her Sunday show.

Decked out in a tuxedo and top hat, the Kansas City Chiefs player joined Swift during her I Can Do It With a Broken Heart outfit change.

The tight end beamed as he carried his girlfriend, gently placing her on a red couch at the centre of the stage.

This marked the first time the duo appeared on stage together, following the official announcement of their relationship on Instagram Friday evening.

The reactions from Taylor’s fans lit up social media, many in awe that Travis handled the performance like a professional, even showing off some of his signature dance moves.

A mysterious trio watch Taylor’s show from the ROOF of Wembley Stadium
Fans watching Taylor’s show from Wembley famous stands were given an unsual sight on Saturday, when they witnessed three people watching and dancing along to the American megastar from the roof of the iconic venue.

Videos began emerging on social media around half way through the show of the trio seemingly enjoying the singer’s performance from the vertigo-inducing spot.

Some fans claimed they were security guards or even drone spotters, while others joked they were Taylor’s former partners Joe Alwyn, Scooter Braun and Matty Healy.

But the arena later revealed the group were ‘pre-approved professionals’ who were part of the pyrotechnics team for the event.

A Wembley Stadium spokesperson told MailOnline: ‘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.’

Despite the absurd height, the team seemingly enjoyed the best view of the concert as Taylor returned for a triumphant second night at the arena for her Eras Tour.

Prince William shows off his dad-dancing

Rocking royal Prince William delighted fans with his gleeful ‘dad dancing’ at Taylors second London gig on Saturday

The US pop star posed for a selfie with the Prince of Wales as well as two of his children Princess George and Princess Charlotte, along with the singer’s boyfriend Travis.

Footage later emerged of William breaking out his best ‘dad dancing’ as the singer, 34, performed her 2014 hit single Shake It Off.

The Prince and Princess of Wales’s official X account posted a adorable photo William, George and Charlotte with Swift and Kelce – with the caption: ‘Thank you Taylor Swift for a great evening!’

Soon after, the popstar posted a selfie with the royals and her boyfriend to say: ‘Happy birthday M8! London shows are off to a splendid start’ in a touching message to the heir for his 42nd birthday.

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.

Taylor’s fans chant ‘f**k the patriarchy’

It forms a lyric to one of her best known songs, but Taylor still managed to divide a largely partisan crowd while issuing the rallying-cry to a sold-out Wembley Stadium on Sunday evening.

She left a faction of her unwaveringly loyal fanbase unimpressed while singing the chorus to anthemic 2012 track All Too Well.

The song, which features on her fourth studio album, Red, contains the lyric: ‘You taught me ’bout your past, thinkin’ your future was me/And you were tossing me the car keys, “f**k the patriarchy” keychain on the ground.’

While the track is a popular fixture in her live sets, Swift, 34, drew a mixed response after encouraging 88,000 predominantly female fans at Wembley to scream its final line in an apparent act of rebellion.

Taking to X, formerly Twitter, one unimpressed onlooker wrote: ‘taylor swift got her audience of 88k fans to scream ”F*** THE PATRIARCHY” at her concert yesterday … lady, you are a billionaire. get your head checked.’

Taylor plays The Black Dog for the first time
When Taylor kicked off the London leg of her Eras Tour on Friday, she ensured the thousands who had travelled from across the capital wouldn’t be disappointed, performing five surprise songs during the three-hour 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.

London is the only city that she will return to twice during her Era Tours. She will later return to the venue for another five shows in August, which will serve as the conclusion of the European leg of the tour.

Paul McCartney dances along with the crowd

While attending Taylor’s third London show on Sunday, some Swifties got more than they bargained for as they enjoyed an unexpected dance with music legend Sir Paul McCartney.

The group circled around Paul, 82, as they waved their arms and jumped about excitedly following his chance passing in the crowd.

In a clip shared on X where Paul was dancing with Taylor fans, the caption read: ‘Paul McCartney having the time of his life dancing along to But Daddy I Love Him as Taylor Swift performs live at today’s show!’

Paul was also seen playing to the crowd as he walked across the standing area, waving his arms and greeting fans.

The Liverpudlian singer was joined by his fashion designer daughter Stella McCartney and his wife Nancy Shevell.

Even the Changing of the Guard gets swept up in Swift-mania!

As Swifties counted down the hours to Taylor’s first London show on Friday, even Buckingham Palace appeared to catch the craze, with an unexpected twist on the famous Changing Of The Guard.

The Palace’s military band carried out a surprise performance of 1989 track Shake It Off during the iconic ceremony at the forecourt of the Palace.

The band kicked off a special rendition of the hit single, aptly named ‘Changing of the Guard: Taylor’s Version’.

The recognisable and catchy tune was blasted out in the sunshine by a full brass band of trumpets, saxophones and other wind instruments to mark Taylor’s arrival in the capital.

Tom Cruise joins the crowd of star-studded fans in attendance

All three of Taylor’s capital concerts proved to be star-studded affairs, with Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise among the A-List guests at her second show on Saturday.

The beaming Mission Impossible star was filmed heading into the VIP tent for the concert, and even mingled with Taylor’s boyfriend Travis during the show.

Fans said the Hollywood icon, 61, was the ‘last person I expected to see’ as he spent the night with Taylor’s boyfriend Travis Kelce, 34, and his Mission Impossible director pal Christopher McQuarrie, 55.

The video showed Tom bopping away to Blank Space, but fans joked he ‘looked so out of place’ as he didn’t appear to know the lyrics.

They wrote: ‘Just a suggestion. how about listening to one of her albums first before going to her show…lol…hilarious’.

Taylor’s fans’ stomping leaves the star aghast

As Taylor took to the stage for her third and final London show on Sunday, even the star herself was aghast by fans’ excited reaction.

Fans were quick to flood the stadium with their excited stomping, leaving the baffled star asking: ‘What is that?’

Given fans’ dancing had previously caused a seismic shift so vast that it activated earthquake monitors, the star clearly feared that a similar disaster was taking place in the capital.

However, Taylor quickly composed herself before sharing her excitement and shock at her fans’ huge cheers.

Paul McCartney is gifted a friendship bracelet by an excited fan

After showing off his dancing skills with a group of fans, Sir Paul was gifted a friendship bracelet as he made his way to the VIP tent.

The music legend was filmed partaking in the tour’s now-legendary tradition as he made his way to the VIP area.

Since Taylor kicked off her tour last year, the thousands who have attended her shows have made and swapped various friendship bracelets, typically featuring beads including Taylor’s name and her song titles.

The tradition is in reference to her song You’re On Your Own, Kid, which featured on her 2022 album Midnights, and includes the lyric: ‘So, make the friendship bracelets, take the moment and taste it.’

The footage was captured by a fan who shared it on their Instagram Stories, dubbed with the famous Beatles track With a Little Help from My Friends.
