Other celebrity fans in attendance included Bridgerton star Nicola Coughlan, Cara Delevingne, Salma Hayek, and Leslie Mann, according to photos shared by Queer Eye’s Jonathan Van Ness, who was also at the party.
Swift opened the show by telling the audience that there were 88,446 people in the stadium, according to PA Media.
She thanked the audience for being there, “especially on a Friday night in the summer and on a beautiful day in London,” and recalled concerts she had given in the city earlier in her career.
