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

The actor, 63, was among the many celebrities who attended the second night of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour stop at London’s Wembley Stadium. 

Following the Saturday show, Grant took to social media to express his gratitude to 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 hinted that he shared a drink with Kelce, adding the hashtag, “#tequilashots.”

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

Swift's footballer beau has been a frequent presence at her concerts since the couple went public with their relationship. 

Kelce and Swift have been romantically linked since September 2023, after the athlete attended her Kansas City tour stop and attempted to give her a friendship bracelet with his number on it. Swift later attended one of Kelce's games at Arrowhead Stadium, quickly becoming a regular in the crowd at Kansas City Chiefs games.

Swift’s Sunday night performance marked the last of three shows at Wembley Stadium, but she will return to the venue in August for another five dates to conclude the European leg of her tour. Earlier this month, the 14-time Grammy winner announced that her record-breaking Eras Tour would officially end in December, with her final show scheduled for Vancouver, Canada on December 8. 

The Eras Tour, which began on March 17, 2023 in Glendale, Arizona, will span five continents and total 152 shows by its conclusion.

Videos captured by concert-goers showed Grant having the time of his life: the actor arrived at the stadium with his wife and daughter long before Swift took the stage and was seen enjoying opening act Paramore while munching on a bag of carrots.

Swift’s concerts have attracted numerous celebrities, but the London shows have been particularly star-studded. 

Other notable attendees on June 22 included Tom Cruise, Greta Gerwig, Jamie Dornan, Liam Hemsworth, Rachel Zegler, Mila Kunis, and Ashton Kutcher.

Swift’s previous show at London's Wembley Stadium also drew high-profile figures, including British royals Prince William, Prince George, and Princess Charlotte, who posed for a sweet selfie with the singer. 

The special night marked 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.
