Taylor Swift’s boyfriend Travis Kelce performs on stage at a concert

American football star Travis Kelce made a surprise appearance on stage during Taylor Swift’s performance at Wembley Stadium on Sunday.

Swift’s boyfriend Kelce (34) appeared in a cutaway and carried the unconscious singer onto a red piece of furniture.

The US pop star then changed her outfit and sang “I Can Do It With A Broken Heart” from her latest album “The Tortured Poets Department” in front of a screaming audience of almost 90,000 spectators.

The 34-year-old from Pennsylvania ended her three London shows with the song Karma.

She changed the lyrics to include a special shout-out to NFL player Kelce, singing, “Karma is the guy from the Chiefs coming right to my house.”

She has made this change before when Kelce was in the crowd, but it still drew screams from the assembled supporters.

Celebrity couple Swift and Kelce were first romantically linked in September 2023 and the two showed their support for each other by attending football games and concerts.

Swift has played in numerous NFL games, including the Super Bowl, which Kelce’s team, the Kansas City Chiefs, won.

Kelce has since attended several Swift gigs and was photographed at all three of her London shows.

On Friday, the couple met Britain’s Prince of Wales and his two eldest children and Swift posted the selfie on her Instagram page.

Several A-list celebrities were spotted at Swift’s performances in London, including rock legends Paul McCartney and Jon Bon Jovi.

A video that was widely shared on social media on Sunday showed Beatles star McCartney (82) walking through an area of ​​the stadium that was separated from fans, while a photo apparently shows rock star Bon Jovi (62) wearing sunglasses and a pink hat watching Swift’s performance.

During the performance, Swift brought out 24-year-old singer-songwriter Gracie Abrams, who sang her new single “Us,” which features Swift and was released on June 21.

Anti-hero singer Swift began the UK leg of her massive Eras Tour with three dates in Edinburgh, followed by performances in Liverpool and Cardiff before bringing her tour to the capital.

In attendance at Saturday night’s show were Love Actually star Hugh Grant and Channel 4 News presenter Krishnan Guru-Murthy, who both described the experience as “incredible”.

“About A Boy” actor Grant (63) wrote to X: “Dear @taylorswift13, you have an incredible show, a fantastic and very welcoming team and an excellent, albeit huge, boyfriend (#tequilashots.)

“Thank you from an ageing London boy, his wife and an enthusiastic 8-year-old.”

Guru-Murthy (54) posted a photo of himself and former Newsnight presenter Emily Maitlis on Instagram and said: “Incredible. And she played my favourite song (Mean) as a surprise song!”

Another visitor on Saturday evening was American actress Rachel Zegler, known for her roles in “West Side Story” and the prequel to “The Hunger Games,” who posted a photo of herself in a purple glitter dress at the performance and captioned it: “I love you so much, Taylor Swift.”

In a follow-up post to X, she uploaded a photo of herself wearing dozens of friendship bracelets – which have become a staple at Swift’s shows – and said, “Thank you everyone for my bracelets and for dancing with me, screaming with me, and singing with me.”

On Saturday night, a fan posted a video online that appears to show “Mission Impossible” star Tom Cruise speaking to Swifties in the stadium wearing a black blazer and white T-shirt.

Another video showed “Little Women” director Greta Gerwig (40) walking through a part of the stadium that was separated from the fans.

Other stars were reportedly in attendance at the concert, including Hunger Games actor Liam Hemsworth and Hollywood couple Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher.

Friday night’s show was attended by Labour leader Keir Starmer and celebrity fans including Bridgerton star Nicola Coughlan, Queer Eye’s Jonathan Van Ness and model Cara Delevingne.

The billion-dollar Eras Tour will take fans through Swift’s back catalog, including hits from the albums “1989,” “Red” and “Midnights.”

The revised setlist, which she first revealed at the Paris shows, also includes songs from her latest album, released in April.

To celebrate their arrival in the capital, murals, a special subway map, a Taylor Trail and a series of events were created.

The tour will now move to Dublin, but Swift will return to London to play another five nights at Wembley in August.
