AceShowbiz - "But Daddy I Love Him", the big song that kicks off Taylor Swift's "Tortured Poets Department" set on "The Eras Tour", had Paul McCartney dancing with fans at London's Wembley Stadium on Sunday, June 23. The Beatles legend, who just turned 82, was a VIP guest at Swift's third concert at Wembley this weekend.
Fans captured an unforgettable moment that saw McCartney swaying and even singing along to the lyrics of Swift's hit, while concertgoers beside him were clearly dazzled by this impromptu dance session. "“You ain't gotta pray for me/ Me and my wild boy, and all this wild joy," Swift is heard singing in the video embedded below.
Snapshots from Wembley Stadium on social media showed McCartney was approachable earlier in the day too, partaking in the "Eras Tour" tradition of trading friendship bracelets. The images revealed McCartney both accepting and giving out these fan-made tokens, making the event memorable for everyone involved.
McCartney wasn't the only big name attending Swift's third Wembley show. Other celebrities in attendance included Jon Bon Jovi, Prince William, Tom Cruise, Peter Gabriel, Sophie Turner, Cate Blanchett, Ellie Goulding, Greta Gerwig, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Andrew Scott and Rachel Zegler. Swift's boyfriend Travis Kelce also made a surprise appearance on stage during the "Tortured Poets" set, adding another layer of excitement to the evening.
The packed audience also received a special treat as Swift debuted "us." alongside Gracie Abrams and cleverly responded to Foo Fighters' frontman Dave Grohl's recent comments questioning whether she performs live. Taylor's connection with her fans is unlike any other, as noted by NME in their five-star review, "Despite being an arena show, in a huge, cavernous venue, Swift and her fans have managed to cultivate a community. Strangers swap friendship bracelets, laugh and cry together, and embrace the tour's in-jokes and lore."
Indeed, "The Eras Tour" is not just a concert; it's an experience that binds people together, from famous faces to devoted Swifties. It's the power of Taylor Swift, an artist who's inspired renaming a Scottish loch and cultivated a global family of fans. With five more nights scheduled at Wembley this August, the excitement is far from over.
Swift's "Tortured Poets Department" is currently spending its ninth consecutive and total week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, solidifying her place as one of the leading voices in contemporary music. "The Eras Tour" will continue to traverse several cities in the coming weeks, including Dublin, Amsterdam, Zurich and Milan.
