Not only is Taylor Swift a ubiquitous headline artist and a certified billionaire (and counting), she's also reached "selfie" status with Prince William, first in line to the British throne.

On Friday, “The Tortured Poets Department” artist and her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, posed for photos with William and his two eldest children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, before Swift took the stage for her Wembley gig in London as part of her Eras tour. William, who celebrated his 42nd birthday at the show, was later seen dancing to "Shake it Off," exalting and living his full life amongst the common folk. No word, however, on how many bracelets he took back to the castle with him.

In a photo from the event, posted to X by Kensington Palace, the caption reads, "Thank you @TaylorSwift for a great evening! #LondonTSTheErastour." And in it, William's smile is the biggest of the bunch.

As BBC points out, William has been a "Swiftie" for over a decade. In 2013, during a charity event at Kensington Palace, he shared a mic with Swift for a fresh take on "Livin’ on a Prayer" by Bon Jovi, and that footage is always good for a laugh. 

This might top it though:
