Taylor Swift performs at Wembley Stadium, during the Eras Tour.
American football star Travis Kelce made a surprise on-stage appearance during Taylor Swift’s performance at Wembley Stadium on Sunday.
Swift’s boyfriend Kelce, 34, appeared in a morning suit and carried the singer, who pretended to faint, on to a red piece of furniture.
The US pop star then changed her outfit and performed ‘I Can Do It With A Broken Heart’ from her latest album, , to the screaming audience of almost 90,000.
The 34-year-old from Pennsylvania ended her trio of London shows with the song Karma.
She changed the lyrics to include a special shout out to NFL player Kelce and sang: “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs, coming straight home to me.” It is a change she has made before when Kelce is in the crowd but it still drew screams from the assembled devotees.
