"Taylor Swift is financing Mbappe", "Can she play RB?" - Fans react as Taylor Swift announces performance at Real Madrid's new Santiago Bernabeu

Singer-songwriter Taylor Swift has announced that she will be performing at Real Madrid's new Santiago Bernabeu. Fans have jokingly suggested that she's financing project Kylian Mbappe.

The American singer has announced her The Eras Tour that will see her travel across the globe next year. She will visit Asia, South America, North America and Europe. The 33-year-old will be performing at Madrid's new Bernabeu stadium on May 30.

That has led to football fans giving hilarious takes on her trip to Los Blancos' new stomping ground. One fan thinks she could be financing Real Madrid's move for Mbappe.

"Taylor Swift is financing Mbappe."

The Anti-Hero singer will have to sell plenty of tickets to achieve that, as reports claim Madrid are prepared to spend €200 million on the Frenchman. However, the 24-year-old is becoming somewhat of a villain at the Parc des Princes.

Mbappe sent PSG a letter informing them he won't extend his contract beyond next year. It could be that he's wearing Los Merengues colors by the time Swift takes to the microphone at the new Bernabeu. PSG may have told the prolific striker that they won't be getting back together by that point.

Meanwhile, another fan has hilariously asked whether the singer could play at right-back

"Can she play at RB?"

Manager Carlo Ancelotti does have Dani Carvajal to call on, though.

Here's how Twitter reacted to Swift's announcement that she will be performing at Real Madrid's new ground:
