Taylor Swift‘s three Wembley Stadium concerts in London, beginning June 21, turned out to be some of the biggest celebrity sightings since the tour hit Los Angeles last August. Most of the British stars who hit the VIP tent were there because they were already huge fans of her music, but 63-year-old actor Hugh Grant begrudgingly went with his wife, Anna Elisabet Eberstein, and their eight-year-old daughter.
Before the concert, the Notting Hill star was spotted with earplugs in his ears while munching on carrots during Paramore’s set. Hey, a man has to eat, and we love that he chose a healthy snack. Fans joked about his very Boomer appearance at the concert on X. “Remember when he had to do a whole reputation rebuild after having sexy time like…in public or something? And now he’s eating carrots at a pop concert and being nominated for BAFTAs in kids movies,” wrote one account. Another user added, “Is he wearing earplugs!😂what a vibe…”
While Grant was likely just playing cool dad that night, he turned out to be a Swiftie by the end of the three-hour-plus concert, and we think Travis Kelce had something to do with it. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end was the ultimate host in the VIP tent that night, vibing with Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher, making Tom Cruise feel comfortable, and getting Grant on the Swiftie train… perhaps with a tequila shot.
“Dear @taylorswift13, You have an incredible show, an amazing and v hospitable team and excellent if gigantic boyfriend (#tequilashots.),” he wrote on X. Grant also acknowledged his somewhat curmudgeonly reputation by wrapping up the tweet, “Thanks so much from one ageing London boy, wife and thrilled 8 year old #halfgirlhalfbracelet.” It sounds like his daughter was enveloped in friendship bracelets by the end of the night — and we love it!
It’s hard to resist the contagious energy of Swift’s Eras Tour, and with Kelce providing the libations, it sounds like the VIP tent was the place to be. Nobody but the athlete could have made two out-of-place superstars like Grant and Cruise feel more at home, and before they knew it, they were a part of the official Swiftie club.
