Fathers who took their daughters to the Eras tour shake it off in style
Millions of Brits headed to see Taylor Swift in the last month as the 14-time Grammy winner performed 15 stadium shows in the UK as part of her record-breaking Eras tour.
The singer, who closed out the tour in London after performing more shows in the capital than any other city in the world, broke records at Wembley as more than 720,000 people watched her in the national stadium alone.
And while many of the shows are dominated by women, many fathers were dragged along too, as well as boyfriends, partners, and uncles getting in the full Swiftie spirit dancing and singing the night away.
One notable father to shake it off was Prince William, who accompanied his two eldest children, Charlotte and George.
A very excited William brokeout his best ‘dad dancing’ as the singer, 34, performed her 2014 hit single Shake It Off.
The Pennsylvania born pop-star even offered a rare backstage pass for the Prince and his children who posed to grab a picture with Taylor, in what have now become world famous selfies.

While the Prince of Wales opted to dress in his usual attire of a sophisticated shirt and jacket, he offered up a slightly more casual look that his official engagement, loosening his top buttons and leaving the tie at home.
Meanwhile, of the many father’s spotted enjoying the American singer’s tour, a number have been seen embracing the Swfitie culture by donning a costume piece or two.
In one clip, a father and daughter were filmed singing and dancing together to one of Taylor songs.
The father in question wasn’t quite there with the cowboy hat but sported an appropriately coloured bright pink T-shirt to enjoy the concert with his young daughter.
The mother of the girl happened to stumble upon the video and informed viewers that the pink sporting father had gone all out Swiftie for the upcoming show.
She wrote on the video: ‘He spent six months listening to nothing but Taylor Swift to learn every word to every song on the set list for a moment like this.’
In another video, one young girl breaks down in tears after her dad filmed her reaction to surprise Taylor Swift tickets, the two proceeding to share loving hug before heading in for the 50 song show.

He wrote: ‘Hello, Wembley,’ alongside the picture, showing off a Swiftie bracelet that read ‘dad’.
During the June performances earlier this year, Labour leader – now Prime Minister – Sir Keir Starmer and his wife Victoria were also among spotted enjoying the concert with their two young children with the Wembley crowd.
David Cameron, Rishi Sunak and Sadiq Khan were among the other politicians heading to the gig.
One TikTok video also reveals the different types of fathers who attended Taylor Swift’s performances with one spotted proudly donning a pink fluffy cowboy had with matching tassels.
A second type of Swiftie father was also spotted at the Wembley shows earlier this year in June, sporting an outfit of a red checkered shirt and summer cap – possibly hinting that he had combined the day with a trip to Wimbledon to watch the tennis.
One very relaxed father even let his daughters free to dress him as they pleased. The Bejewelled father donned a full scalp of stick on gems to the concert.
One proud dad was spotted dancing with his 16-year-old daughter, who had Spinal Muscular Atrophy, and had finally made her dream of seeing her favourite pop singer live, come true.
Meanwhile, the three hour gig appeared to have all been too much for some with one father found catching up on a bit of shut eye during the performance.

Donna Kelce Says Son Travis ‘Can’t Clean’ and ‘Can’t Cook’ But Hints He Might Be ‘Getting Some Help’ from Taylor Swift
Donna Kelce is playfully sharing some of her son Travis Kelce’s flaws.
In an interview with Extra TV, the Kelce matriarch, 71, got candid about the things the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 34, can’t do despite his success at football and his recent hosting and acting gigs.
“He can’t clean. He can’t cook,” she listed off jokingly, before adding that he was “getting a little better.”
“I think he’s getting some help,” Donna noted, hinting that he might be picking up some tips from girlfriend Taylor Swift, 34.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s Relationship Timeline
The 14-time Grammy winner previously shared a video on YouTube Shorts of him kissing her in the kitchen while she stirred a pot, alongside other snapshots of her life. In the brief clip, several food ingredients could be seen on the counter behind them.
When asked about his appearance in the video and the kinds of foods he liked to cook with Swift during a Chiefs press conference in June, the NFL player admitted he liked spending time in the kitchen with his girlfriend, though he declined to comment on the kinds of dishes they made together.
“I respect that question but I’m going to keep that one to myself because I thoroughly enjoy cooking with her so it’s something I’d rather just keep personal,” he responded.

He later added in the press conference that the “Fortnight” singer “makes a great pop-tart and cinnamon roll.” She even baked for Travis’ teammates after the pair went public with their romance in September 2023.
“Kind of behind-the-scenes, she, to fit in — she didn’t even know she was doing this, I don’t think — she likes to cook, so she made the offensive linemen these homemade pop-tarts,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid revealed during an interview at the NFL Scouting Combine in February.

Kelce previously supported the singer on tour, making an appearance at several of her European Eras Tour concerts. He even made a surprise cameo onstage during her June 23 show at London’s Wembley Stadium.
