Henrik Lundqvist and his kids attended a Taylor Swift concert at San Siro Stadium in Milan, Italy. On Sunday, Lundqvist posted about the event on Instagram, showing himself in a black t-shirt and sunglasses, capturing the crowd and Swift performing.
"San Siro on a Saturday night. My kids knew most of the lyrics, I tried my best Great show! @taylorswift #milan."
Swift's concert, her first in Italy in 13 years, had 65,000 attendees.
Lundqvist also posted a few photos from their family vacation in Lake Como, Italy. On Thursday, he shared images with his wife, Therese Andersson, and his daughters, Charlise and Juli.
In the first photo, Lundqvist posed for the camera. The second photo showed Andersson and their daughters. In the third post, Lundqvist posed with his wife, and the next post included photos from a boat trip.

Henrik Lundqvist retired from NHL due to heart surgery
In the summer of 2021, Henrik Lundqvist announced his retirement from hockey due to a heart problem. The former New York Rangers goaltender, who played nearly 900 NHL games, had to retire after major surgery prevented him from playing for the Washington Capitals in the 2020-21 season.
Lundqvist's heart issues were first discovered in 2005 when he moved to New York. The condition remained stable until the fall of 2020, when it worsened rapidly, requiring surgery. In the Netflix documentary "Open Heart," released last month, Lundqvist shared his experience with the surgery and his decision to end his career.
“What helped me a lot was living in the moment”, Lundqvist said. ”Especially in the rehabilitation and focusing on myself and my health. As an athlete, I almost took it like a game. Partly how to prepare and find calm before such a journey. Not looking too far ahead.”
Lundqvist's Henrik Lundqvist Foundation has partnered with the Swedish Heart and Lung Foundation to support heart research.
