Taylor Swift is finally back in London. The global superstar made her return to the capital's Wembley Stadium on August 15 to kick off her five-day Eras Tour concert run. Last night, Swift surprised audiences by bringing out Ed Sheeran for their song 'End Game', which also features American rapper Future.

The song comes from Swift's sixth studio album reputation, which was released in 2017 and also features hit songs such as 'Look What You Made Me Do' and 'Don't Blame Me'.

Keen-eyed fans are convinced that Swift may have made a sweet nod to her boyfriend Travis Kelce during hers and Sheeran's performance of the song.

While the 'Perfect' singer sang, 'After the storm, something was born on the Fourth of July', Swift could be seen sticking out her tongue and flashing a huge grin at the same time.

The video can be viewed on X (formerly Twitter).

As the song came out in 2017, and Swift and Kelce only met in 2023, the line isn't a direct reference to when they started dating – but among die-hard Swifties, it is believed that it is now a coincidental reference to how the couple spent their Fourth of July weekend together last year. This theory was only cemented further by Swift's reaction to the line during the concert.

The pair's love story began shortly after that date, when they met at Swift's Eras Tour at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end came to watch the singer, with the aim of giving Swift a friendship bracelet at the end of the show. The rest, they say, is history.

As the video has gone viral on social media, fans of the 'Cruel Summer' singer have been sharing their reactions to the sweet moment.

Clearly, fans were over the moon for the singer and couldn't help but express it. One X user stated 'she’s so happy omg i love her', while another said 'Oh that’s adorable stoooop'.

Another wrote 'oh I know she kicks her feet and giggles over every invisible string'.

As Swift loves an Easter egg, whether it's planted in a song, album title or concert show, we're certain that there will be more to come in her upcoming shows in London. Stay tuned...
