Taylor Swift said she is "still cracking up/swooning" over her boyfriend Travis Kelce's on-stage appearance at London’s Wembley Stadium during her Eras Tour.

NFL star Kelce appeared in a morning suit and carried the US singer on to a red piece of furniture after she pretended to faint, during the last of Swift’s trio of London shows.

"Wembley Stadium round one was so surreal," Swift said in a post on Instagram.

"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. Acoustic sections went OFF.

"I got to sing '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’.

"And I’m still cracking up/swooning over @killatrav’s Eras Tour debut. Never going to forget these shows. Can’t wait to do it five more times in August."

The Sparks Fly singer from Pennsylvania ended her trio of London shows with the song Karma.

She changed the lyrics to include a special shout out to NFL player Kelce and sang: "Karma is the guy on the Chiefs, coming straight home to me."

It is a change she has made before when Kelce is in the crowd but it still drew screams from the assembled devotees.

Celebrity couple Swift and Kelce were first romantically linked in September 2023 and the pair have both shown their support for one another by attending football games and concerts.

Swift has been to a number of NFL games, including the Super Bowl, won by Kelce’s team the Kansas City Chiefs.

Anti-Hero singer Swift began the UK leg of her juggernaut Eras Tour with three dates in Edinburgh, followed by shows in Liverpool and Cardiff, before she brought her tour to the capital.

The Saturday night show was attended by Love Actually star Hugh Grant and Channel 4 News presenter Krishnan Guru-Murthy, who both hailed the experience as "amazing".

Another Saturday night attendee was American actress Rachel Zegler, known for her roles in West Side Story and The Hunger Games prequel, who posted a photo of herself wearing a purple glittery dress at the gig, captioned: "I love you so much taylor swift."

On Saturday evening, a fan posted a video online which appeared to show Mission Impossible star Tom Cruise speaking to Swifties at 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 separated from fans.

Other stars, including The Hunger Games actor Liam Hemsworth and married Hollywood couple Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher, were reported to have attended the concert.

Taylor Swift is playing a trio of sold-out gigs on Friday 28 June, Saturday 29 June and Sunday 30 June at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin.
