Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace Prepare to Welcome American Pop Superstar Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift, who recently kicked off the London leg of her Eras Tour at a sold-out Wembley show with her boyfriend Travis Kelce and British royal Prince William, is expected to meet Kate Middleton. The Duchess of Cambridge could not attend the concert due to her ongoing chemotherapy.
Swift sent fans into a frenzy with her first London show, which was secretly attended by William and his children along with other celebrities. Speculation is rife that the "Cruel Summer" hitmaker might visit the royal palaces during her stay in the UK, given her history with the royals.
In 2013, Swift shared the stage at Kensington Palace with Jon Bon Jovi to perform "Livin’ On A Prayer" at a charity event. Last year, she personally invited Kate and William to attend one of her gigs, but Princess Kate could not make it due to her cancer diagnosis.
A royal insider revealed, "Preparations at the Palace indicate that Swift could visit the royals on the invitation of William, as they have continued to be committed fans of the US megastar."
Following Swift's arrival in London, the military band at Buckingham Palace performed a rendition of her 2014 hit "Shake It Off" to celebrate the Eras Tour's arrival in the UK capital.
William, who attended Swift's Friday show with his children, was seen enthusiastically dancing to her hits. Swift also shared a selfie with the future King and his kids after the show, fueling rumors about a possible visit to Princess Kate, who missed the live concert due to her cancer treatment.
Swift, currently in London, is scheduled to perform two more gigs in the city on Saturday and Sunday, before returning for five more shows in August. She might take the opportunity to visit the historic royal buildings with her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, who is also in the UK.
