Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour got a royal welcome in London. While it certainly didn’t get off to a great start as her private jet was vandalised by climate activists hours after landing at Stansted Airport, the Cruel Summer singer did receive a special ovation from the royal family. What made it even more memorable was that the royal family themselves greeted the pop star in a warm and playful way and shared a video of the royal military band playing Swift’s Billboard-topping hit song.

This morning, the tunes of ‘Shake It Off’, the lead single from her fifth studio album ‘1989’, reverberated through Buckingham Palace, grabbing everyone’s attention. The royal family also didn’t refrain from dropping a playful comment on the performance video on Instagram just hours before Swift’s concert on Friday (June 21), saying, “Can’t stop, won’t stop,” a witty nod to the song’s lyrics.
