Thousands of Swifties have descended Wembley as the sports stadium is glittering with sequins - as Taylor Swift is set to host the second night of her Eras Tour in London.

Last night the American megastar, 34, sent the capital into a frenzy as she delighted 90,000 fans with renditions of Hits Different, Death By A Thousand Cuts and The Black Dog.

But the most stunning moment of the night came as the star took one of the most iconic pop-culture selfies of all time - posing up next to Prince William, Prince George and Princess Charlotte as the delighted royals shared a moment with the singer.

Earlier in the concert, the Prince of Wales had stunned the crowds as he was spotted pulling out his best dad-dancing moves as the trio partied through the concert alongside thousands of other Londoners.

Ms Swift was clearly overwhelmed by the huge crowd in the capital last night and said: 'Oh my God, London, look what you've done. What better way to spend a Friday night than in the most exhilarating city in the world?'

Her first show in London was always going to be special for her as she shares a close affiliation with the capital after she called it her second home for the six years she was dating British actor Joe Alwyn.

Taylor Swift's favourite London pubs, parks (and kebab shop) revealed in map of the capital

She may have said so long to London in her latest album - but Taylor Swift is set to rekindle her love affair with the city later this month.

The pop sensation, 34, is performing three consecutive nights at Wembley Stadium from 21 June as part of her Eras Tour, which has grossed over $1bn worldwide.

The star will then return in August to play a further five sold-out shows, which will be attended by over 450,000 Swifties.

However, the star - who previously professed her love for 'London Boy' Joe Alwyn - has a long-standing and complicated history with the UK's capital city.

Taylor is first referenced London in her 2012 song 'Come Back... Be Here' where she pines after a mystery man, singing: 'You're in London and I break down 'cause it's not fair that you're not around.'

With a total of 640,000 tickets sold, Greater London Authority are expecting fans to spend an average of £471 per person,

Taylor has also taken over a giant car park at the stadium to create a merchandise stall which has been open since Wednesday, two days prior to the shows kicking off.

So THAT's where Louis get his moves from!

It may now be clear where Prince Louis gets his moves from as William's 'dad dancing' at the Taylor Swift concert last night was just like his son's cheeky shapes at a Jubilee event back in 2022.

The Prince of Wales delighted Swifties as he broke out some moves during Taylor's performance of Shake It Off at Wembley last night.

Prince William was joined by his children George and Charlotte at the sold-out gig but his youngest son Louis stayed at home with Princess Catherine.

This, however, does not stop striking similarities being drawn between the father and son duo's dance moves.

Prince Louis was filmed moving his waist with both his hands in the air during the Jubilee Pageant to mark the 70th anniversary of the succession of the late Queen Elizabeth II to the throne.

'Wembley section 123 has an obstructed view of 100% of the diamond stage', before claiming '(ticket was sold as a VIP unobstructed seat).'
