After Prince William’s Viral “Dad Dancing” At The Eras Tour, A New Report Claims Princess Charlotte Is A “Huge” Taylor Swift Fan

By now, I’m sure you’ve all seen that the royals had a fun family night out at the Eras Tour last week.

On Friday, Prince William celebrated his 42nd birthday in style by attending Night 1 of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour at Wembley Stadium in London.

Joined by Prince George and Princess Charlotte, the future king was seen in the crowd dancing his heart out to Taylor’s biggest hits. And while Prince William’s dance moves might imply he’s the biggest Swiftie in the royal family, a new report has suggested otherwise.

According to Entertainment Tonight, it was Princess Charlotte who encouraged the family night out to watch Taylor perform, with insiders claiming the 9-year-old is “the huge Taylor Swift fan in the family.”

Kate Middleton — who confirmed in March that she is undergoing cancer treatment — did not attend the concert. An insider told ET that Princess Charlotte’s night at the Eras Tour was extra special amid her mom’s recent health concerns.

“She has wanted to go to the concert for months, but with her mum being treated for cancer, this was a really special day to be able to celebrate her Papa’s birthday like this,” the source claimed after confirming that Kate opted to stay home with Prince Louis.

So, being such a massive fan, we can barely imagine how excited Charlotte must have been to have a private meet-and-greet with Taylor backstage after the show — even posing for a selfie with the singer.

Notably, the ET report also alleged that Prince William likely didn’t care that his “dad dancing” went viral, saying instead that he “really just wanted it to be a special night for Prince George and Princess Charlotte.”
