Taylor Swift may have a song off her new record, The Tortured Poets Department, called “So Long, London,” but this past weekend she went back to saying “’Ello, Guvnah.” The Eras Tour passed through London for three days, from June 21 to June 23 at Wembley Stadium, and in that time it felt as though almost every British celeb (plus some jet-setting Americans) managed to come out and party. The British royal family was the most prominent; pictures of Prince William and his children went viral. But the commoners were just as exciting.
Night One
Along with the royals on night one, Nicola Coughlan, red-hot off her starring season of Bridgerton, partied it up with her sobbing friend Jonathan Van Ness. They were joined by Cara Delevingne and Salma Hayek with Leslie Mann. Also, Travis Kelce was there.
Night Two
On the second night, Tom Cruise left whatever bunker he lives in to come out and see the fuss. He was joined by Ashton Kutcher, Knives Out 3 girlie Mila Kunis, and Rachel Zegler. While it seems as if there was a dearth of hot men from across the pond, never fear: Theo James and Jamie Dornan came together, likely starting a whole new genre of fan fiction. And then there was Greta Gerwig, who adorably danced with Kelce, who was once again in attendance.
Night Three
Gracie Abrams had the best night of anybody when she joined Swift onstage to sing their new duet, “Us.” Among those who watched her were, NBD, Paul McCartney and Jon Bon Jovi. No presh, Gracie. No presh at all. They were joined by Cate Blanchett and card-carrying Swift-squad member Sophie Turner. On the cheeky side, there was Phoebe Waller-Bridge with Andrew Scott, who were caught on video beelining it back to their VIP tent when “Style” came on, which is, to be clear, the correct response to “Style” coming on. Kelce celebrated the final London performance by picking up Swift onstage in a top hat and tux to carry her amid her outfit change during “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart.” This chivalrous gentleman was joined by a starstruck insect. “I swallowed a bug,” Swift said to her audience, per People. “Can you sing?”
