The Eras of our Entertainment News…

• Taylor Swift performed her Eras Tour for the third time at Wembley Stadium in London on Sunday, and it had the internet buzzing. Starting off strong with some controversy: the rock band, Foo Fighters, played Wembley the night before Swift, and leading man Dave Grohl said onstage that he doesn’t believe Swift performs her concerts live. During her show on Sunday, however, Swift set the record straight by thanking her crew and band for performing the 3 and a half hour show live. Looks like Everlong might owe an apology to Evermore. Attendees have posted videos of famous faces in the crowd, including Barbie director Greta Gerwig, Tom Cruise, Sir Paul McCartney, Hugh Grant, Mila Kunis, Ashton Kutcher, NFL boyfriend Travis Kelce, and even Prince William and his children! A video of Prince William dancing very dad-like to “Shake it Off” has also gone viral, showing the world that even a prince loves to embarrass their children. And finally, Travis Kelce continued the surprises by coming on stage during the show as a backup dancer for the set. Karma really is the guy on the Chiefs!
