Hugh Grant praises Taylor Swift for 'incredible' Eras Tour performance and 'gigantic boyfriend' Travis Kelce

"Thanks so much from one ageing London boy!"

Hugh Grant is officially a Swiftie — and he has the friendship bracelet to prove it.

The actor, 63, was one of many celebrities who attended the second night of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour stop at London’s Wembley Stadium. Hours after the Saturday show ended, Grant took to social media with a message of gratitude for the pop star and her “gigantic” boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end, Travis Kelce.

“Dear @taylorswift13, You have an incredible show, an amazing and v hospitable team and excellent if gigantic boyfriend,” Grant wrote on X. The Notting Hill star went on to imply that he shared a drink with Kelce, adding the hashtag, “#tequilashots.”

Referencing his family, he continued, “Thanks so much from one ageing London boy, wife and thrilled 8 year old #halfgirlhalfbracelet.”

Based on videos captured by concert-goers, Grant had the time of his life at the show: the actor arrived the stadium with his wife and daughter long before Swift took the stage, and was seen watching opening act Paramore while munching on a bag of carrots.

Swift’s concerts have been known to draw in celebrities far and wide, but the London shows — much like last year's Los Angeles performances — have been a particularly star-studded affair. Other big names in attendance on June 22 included Tom Cruise, Greta Gerwig, Jamie Dornan, Liam Hemsworth, Rachel Zegler, Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher.

Swift’s prior show at London's Wembley Stadium was attended by various famous figures as well, including British royals Prince William, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, who posed for a sweet selfie with the singer. The special night marked both Swift's first London show since 2018 and William's 42nd birthday. "London shows are off to a splendid start," Swift wrote to commemorate the occasion.

In addition to the star-studded roster of Eras Tour attendees, Swift’s footballer beau has been a frequent presence at her concerts since the power couple went public with their relationship. Kelce and Swift have been romantically linked since September 2023, after the athlete shared that he attended the pop star's tour stop in Kansas City and attempted (but failed) to hand her a friendship bracelet with his number on it. Swift later attended one of Kelce's game at Arrowhead Stadium, and soon became a staple in the crowd at Kansas City Chiefs games.

While her Sunday night performance will mark the last of three shows at Wembley Stadium, Swift will return to the venue in August for another five dates to end the European leg of her tour. Earlier this month, the 14-time Grammy winner announced that her record-breaking Eras Tour would officially conclude in December, with her last scheduled show set for Vancouver, Canada on Dec. 8. The Eras Tour, which kicked off March 17, 2023 in Glendale, Ariz., will have spanned five continents and 152 total shows when it ends.
