Written by djfrosty on June 25, 2024
Did you know Taylor Swift played three shows in London over the weekend?
Chances are good that you did, because you likely heard about one of her A-list audience members (Paul McCartney, Tom Cruise and Hugh Grant, to name a few); her boyfriend Travis Kelce’s onstage Eras Tour debut (in a tuxedo and top hat, no less); her surprise-song collaborators (Paramore’s Hayley Williams and Gracie Abrams); or her royal backstage selfie with Prince William (and two of his three kids).
On the new Billboard Pop Shop Podcast, Katie & Keith are talking about Swift’s buzzy trio of Eras Tour shows — and how she still has five more Wembley Stadium concerts coming in August.
