The Palace’s Military Band Plays Taylor Swift’s ‘Shake It Off’ Ahead of Eras Tour Stop
Taylor Swift is saying hello to London with a warm welcome from the Palace!
The Royal Family shared a video on X of the Palace’s military band playing Taylor’s hit “Shake It Off” on June 21 in front of Buckingham Palace ahead of Swift’s Eras show.
The Palace wrote in the caption, “Can’t stop, won’t stop groovin’🫡🥁🎺,” and the video was fittingly named “Changing of the Guard (Taylor’s Version).”

Fans lit up the comments with posts like, “Always knew Princess Catherine and Prince William were swifties” and “@taylorswift13 needs to see this.”
Royal reporter Roya Nikkah shared on X that Prince William and kids George, 10, Charlotte, 9, and Louis, 6, were attending the Friday night show at Wembley Stadium on William's 42nd birthday.
Swifties spied Taylor's boyfriend Travis Kelce alongside his brother Jason and his wife Kylie in the tented VIP area. Jason even looked the part wearing friendship bracelets on his wrist that he reportedly traded with fans!
“Bridgerton” star Nicola Coughlan was also on hand for the show, as were Taylor's good friend Cara Delevingne, Salma Hayek, and "Queer Eye" star Jonathan Van Ness.

The Kelce brothers were rumored to be in town, having just attended the Cannes Lions Festival.
