Taylor Swift’s European tour highlights her passion for kebabs

Taylor Swift’s European tour highlights her passion for kebabs

The European leg of pop music sensation Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour has brought a small but delicious detail into the spotlight: the star’s passion for kebabs.

The 34-year-old American singer has developed a fondness for Kentish Delight, a humble kebab shop in London that she discovered through her ex-boyfriend Joe Alwyn, who she credited with recommending it as the best in town.

Ahead of her concert at Wembley Stadium on Friday, Taylor Swift and her team pre-ordered a selection from Kentish Delight, resulting in long queues outside the restaurant.

Ahmed Khan, the owner of Kentish Delight, revealed that the order, which consisted mainly of chicken kebabs, was big enough to feed up to 15 people and cost around £100 ($126.28). In an interview with the BBC, Khan also revealed: “We get lots and lots of orders from Taylor Swift. She often comes here and orders from us, she likes the food and then they decided to shoot a music video for ‘End Game’ here,” he added.

The shop, reportedly Swift’s favorite kebab shop in London, was even featured in her music video for the song “End Game.”

Khan was happy to be Swift’s favorite kebab shop in London and pointed out that Swift and her team gave generous tips.

This revelation follows previous instances in which Taylor Swift’s name was associated with the restaurant, prompting Kentish Delight to add a special kebab named after the artist to its menu.

Representatives of Kentish Delight, a restaurant in northern England, said they have started offering a Swift Kebab, a recipe that includes diced garlic, turmeric, red pepper and a special sauce.
