Taylor Swift's boyfriend Travis Kelce makes shock on-stage Wembley appearance

Taylor Swift sent Wembley into a frenzy last night, surprising her 90,000-strong crowd with an unexpected guest: her American football star boyfriend, Travis Kelce.

Kelce, 34, strutted on stage in top hat and tails, hamming it up for the delighted audience.

In a moment of pure theatrics, the Kansas City Chiefs player scooped up Swift, dabbed her face with powder, then dramatically fanned her as she swooned into the arms of her dancers. The crowd, predictably, went wild.

The appearance marked the first time Swift and Kelce have shared the stage together.

It follows Kelce's attendance at several of Swift's recent concerts, including her three London shows.

Earlier, on Friday night, Kelce was photographed with Swift and members of the royal family, including the Prince of Wales and his children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte.

The couple have been supporting each other's careers, with Swift watching Kelce win the Super Bowl with the Kansas City Chiefs earlier this year.

The star-studded audience at Wembley included 'Fleabag' actors Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Andrew Scott. Music royalty was also in attendance, with Sir Paul McCartney, Bon Jovi and Ellie Goulding spotted among the crowd.

Fans erupted in cheers as the performance unfolded, creating an electric atmosphere in the packed stadium.

The Wembley concert is part of Swift's ongoing Eras Tour, which has already seen huge turnouts in Edinburgh, Liverpool and Cardiff. The London shows mark the final UK leg of her tour.

The three-day Wembley event attracted a host of celebrities, including Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer, who took a break from election campaigning to attend Friday's show.

Social media buzzed with reactions from attendees eager to share their experiences of the live spectacle.

American actress Rachel Zegler, star of 'West Side Story' and 'The Hunger Games' prequel, shared a photo on social media of herself at the concert in a purple glittery dress, writing: "I love you so much Taylor Swift."

She later posted an image showing her arms adorned with numerous friendship bracelets, a popular trend among Swift's fans, thanking fellow concert-goers for the gifts and shared experience.

Swift's Eras Tour, which has already grossed over a billion dollars, offers fans a comprehensive journey through her musical career. The setlist features hits from albums such as '1989', 'Red', and 'Midnights', as well as tracks from her latest release, which debuted in April.
