Apart from McCartney, the weekend Eras Tour witnessed a lineup of celebrities and some royalties. Prince William and his two children, Charlotte and George, attended the concert on Saturday.
Tom Cruise, Travis Kelce, and his brother Jason Kelce were also at the show and were captured laughing and chatting together. Other celebrity attendees at Sunday’s show included Jon Bon Jovi, Cate Blanchett, and Gracie Abrams.
McCartney and Swift’s admiration for each other goes way back
McCartney attending the Eras Tour concert was a full circle moment given that the Shake It Off singer has been a fan of his growing up. The two pop icons of their eras had a sit-down chat for Rolling Stone’s Musicians on Musicians issue in 2020.
The duo discussed their approach to building a concert set list and found it similar. Swift recalled attending one of The Beetles’ shows back in the day and called their set list “the most selfless set list I had ever seen.”
The Maroon singer pointed out they always created a set list keeping the audience in mind, which she imbibed later in her process. “It had every hit we wanted to hear, every song we’d ever cried to, every song people had gotten married to, or been brokenhearted to,” she said at the time.
