“Never going to forget these shows,” the pop star wrote about her London concerts.
Couples who play sold-out stadiums together, stay together. At Taylor Swift‘s Eras Tour concert in London Sunday (June 23), Travis Kelce surprised the crowd at Wembley Stadium by appearing on stage during his superstar girlfriend’s The Tortured Poets Department set, and in a new Instagram post, the pop star revealed that she still has heart eyes because of it.
Sharing photos of the Kansas City Chiefs tight end joining her under the spotlight — including one of him carrying her in his arms, modeling a tuxedo and top hat — Swift wrote, “I’m still cracking up/swooning over @killatrav’s Eras Tour debut 🥰.”
The “Anti-Hero” singer also posted a video of her beau’s full appearance, in which he joins two of her dancers in playfully forcing her to perform “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” even after she’s dramatically collapsed following “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived.” In the clip, he picks her up, carries her over to a couch, fans her and dusts her face with a makeup brush, all while coaching her on how to sing and dance ahead of the next number.
Though Kelce’s hilarious performance was definitely the biggest, Swift’s trio of London shows were full of surprises. At one point, opener Hayley Williams joined the 14-time Grammy winner on stage for an acoustic performance of their Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) duet “Castles Crumbling,” and Grace Abrams later came out to sing new song “Us” with her The Secret of Us collaborator.
“Acoustic sections went OFF,” Swift continued in her post. “I got to sing ‘Castles Crumbling’ with @yelyahwilliams for the first time – hadn’t performed with her since 2011 and man my heart was just so full of love for her and our friendship. Then the impossibly gifted and wonderful @gracieabrams came and surprised the crowd with the first performance of our song ‘us.’”
The pop star will next perform three nights in Dublin starting Friday (June 28), after which she’ll travel through Amsterdam, Milan and more European cities before closing out the leg with five more nights in London in August. In October, she’ll begin the Eras Tour‘s final leg with a string of shows in the U.S. and Canada.
“Wembley Stadium round one was so surreal,” she added. “Looking out into crowds of 90,000 fans each night and hearing that VOLUME… Those were some of the loudest crowds I’ve ever heard … Never going to forget these shows.”
It’s fair to say that Taylor Swift’s first weekend in London on her mammoth Eras tour was a bit of an eventful one.
The 14-time Grammy winner played three sold-out shows at the iconic Wembley Stadium between Friday and Sunday, during which she duetted with her close pal Hayley Williams, sang for countless A-listers in the audience and even grabbed a selfie with the future monarch.
One surprise moment during the show came on Sunday night, when Taylor’s boyfriend Travis Kelce made a low-key cameo during one memorable part of the concert.
As you’re probably aware by now, Taylor’s tour is divided into different sections, each of which centres around one of her albums.
During the part of the show devoted to The Tortured Poets Department, the I Knew You Were Trouble singer pantomimes sleep-walking while two of her male dancers change her outfit for a performance of I Can Do It With A Broken Heart.

However, Sunday night featured an extra addition, with Travis donning a top hat and tails to help out during this memorable part of the show.
“I’m still cracking up/swooning over [Travis’] Eras Tour debut,” Taylor wrote on Instagram on Monday evening, alongside a picture of the NFL star on stage with her. “Never going to forget these shows.”

Elsewhere in the post, she wrote: “Wembley Stadium round one was so surreal. Looking out into crowds of 90,000 fans each night and hearing that VOLUME… Those were some of the loudest crowds I’ve ever heard.”
Taylor will now take the Eras tour across more of Europe, with concerts scheduled in Ireland, The Netherlands, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Poland and Austria in the next few weeks.
She’ll then return to London for five more sold-out nights at Wembley Stadium in August, after which the Eras tour will head back to the United States.
