Taylor Swift's Eras Tour show at the Wembley Stadium in London on Saturday, June 22, was star-studded. On night two, actor Hugh Grant attended the concert with his wife and daughter.

It turns out that the Notting Hill actor had a great time during Swift's Saturday show as he gave her a shoutout on X. Hugh Grant also made a special mention to the Midnights singer's "gigantic" Super Bowl champion boyfriend, Travis Kelce. He wrote:

"Dear @taylorswift13, You have an incredible show, an amazing and v hospitable team and excellent if gigantic boyfriend (#tequilashots). Thanks so much from ageing London boy, wife and thrilled 8 year old (#halfgirlhalfbraceley."

The public praise from the Love Actually star was not something to brush off as Swift wrote back days later, officially declaring herself a "stan" of the actor.

"As a long time Hugh Grant stan this tweet is very important to my culture," Taylor Swift replied on X.

The pop sensation performed for three consecutive nights at Wembley Stadium from June 21 to 23 as part of the UK leg of her Eras Tour. She will return to London later in August for five more shows.
