Taylor Swift's first London show of the Eras Tour was a night to remember for both her and boyfriend Travis Kelce.

During her performance of "So High School," Swift surprised the audience with a gesture often seen during Kansas City Chiefs games: she mimed shooting an arrow using an invisible bow, a signature move of Kelce's. This unexpected display of affection delighted Kelce, who was seen smiling and dancing throughout the 46-song setlist.

Swift further personalized the concert for Kelce by changing the lyrics of "Karma" to "Karma is the guy on the Chiefs coming straight home to me." This marked a rare alteration to the song, done only a few times before when Kelce was in attendance.
 


The London show was a star-studded affair, with Jason and Kylie Kelce, Prince William, and his children also in attendance. However, it was Swift's special moments with Kelce that truly stole the show.

This concert was also a significant event in Swift's complicated relationship with London. The city has been featured prominently in her music, from songs like "Come Back...Be Here" on the Red album to "London Boy" on Lover. On Friday, she even performed a surprise mashup of three songs referencing London: "The Black Dog," "Come Back...Be Here," and "Maroon."

London celebrated Swift's arrival with a "Taylor by Candlelight" show on the London Eye, Swift-themed art installations, and a reimagined Tube map with train lines renamed after her albums. The city has embraced the Eras Tour, recognizing its positive impact on the local economy.

Swift's whirlwind weekend in London included two more shows at Wembley Stadium and a star-studded night out with friends like Kate Moss and Stella McCartney. She'll return in August for five more shows, ending the European leg of the Eras Tour.
