Prince William celebrated his 42nd birthday by taking Princess Charlotte and Prince George to see Taylor Swift's Eras Tour.
While the Wales family were not spotted in the VIP tent alongside Jason and Kylie Kelce, The Sunday Times' royal editor Roya Nikkhah reported that the royal trio were among 90,000 Swifties at Wembley Stadium on June 21. Those rumours were quickly confirmed with an iconic fan-recorded video of Prince William dancing to Shake It Off.
We've been loving Taylor for quite some time, time, time.
And while Taylor Swift doesn't always have time to link up with famous fans before or after the show (just ask Travis Kelce), she made an exception for the Wales family. On June 22, Swift and the Prince of Wales shared photographic evidence of the meet-up on Instagram.
“Happy Bday M8! London shows are off to a splendid start,” Swift captioned a selfie with William, George, Charlotte, and Kelce while dressed in the black sequins pinstripe blazer she wears to perform The Man.

Meanwhile, the Prince of Wales shared the moment from another angle, posting a photo of Swift taking another selfie with her royal fans without the NFL player. “Thank you @taylorswift for a great evening,” read the caption. Do you think Kelce got cut from the snap because he was wearing a Team USA hat?

Supporters of the royal family were struck by how joyful all three royals appeared in the snaps, especially nine-year-old Charlotte, who was dressed in a Fearless-coded sequinned dress with a cute braided hairstyle. “Charlotte is a real Swiftie – she even got the dress code,” one user commented, while another wrote, “This is actually the cutest picture ever. Core memory for Charlotte right there.”
Others pointed out that her brother and father looked just as happy to be there, with one fan joking that Prince William is the “real Swiftie,” and just brought his two eldest children “as a cover up!” Meanwhile, one user wrote, “Prince William, Prince George, and Princess Charlotte are the Swifties we didn’t know we needed, and I am here for it! Just look at their collective unbridled JOY!”
Joy seemed to be the theme for Prince William's birthday. Just hours before the concert, the Wales' official Instagram page shared the latest family portrait captured by Kate Middleton. In the photo, which appeared to be taken on the same day as the Father's Day portrait shared earlier this month, William holds hand with their three children as they take a big jump on a sandy beach.
“Happy birthday Papa, we all love you so much,” read the caption, which was signed by the Princess of Wales with a “Cx.”

Clearly, they found the perfect way to celebrate on the big day.
