The record-breaking series of concerts drew over 700,000 people to London’s Wembley Stadium over the weekend, and an estimated £300m to the capital’s economy.
Fans spent months getting their outfits ready, making bracelets, and showing off their dedication to the star. And there were some familiar faces among the crowds.
We’ve compiled a list of all the celebrity sightings below.
Prince William, Prince George, and Princess Charlotte
The future King of England was seen “shaking it off” as he celebrated his 42nd birthday, and danced with his children on the first night of the tour on Friday (21 June).
The royals then took a selfie with the “Cruel Summer” singer and thanked her for a “great evening”.
