It's another day, and another Taylor Swift show taking the world by storm. Are you even surprised at this point?

Over the weekend Taylor Swift played a three-night Eras Tour stint at London's Wembley Stadium, and everyone who is anyone was there.

It was the intersection of all our hyperfixations: a fangirling British royal family, an on-stage debut for Travis Kelce, Matty Healy's ex-girlfriends showing an affinity and 'It' girl Bridgertonstar Nicola Coughlan's celeb gang grooving up a storm.

Safe to say this is the kind of surreal celebs-do-iconic-things-in-one-place moment that we literally live for.

Watch: Matty Healy talking about Taylor Swift in 2014. Post continues after video.

Whether it was Prince William losing his mind (and the ability to control his swinging hips) while singing 'Shake It Off' or Tom Cruise's questionable attendance while his family life goes up in flames, there's something for everyone.

Here are all the moments you missed.

1. It's not the first time Prince William has sung with Taylor Swift.

A video of Prince William low-key losing his mind to Tay-Tay-mania has gone viral over the weekend, with the future King of England pictured 'dad dancing' to her hit tune 'Shake It Off'.

Prince William was at the concert on the day of his 42nd birthday, taking his children Prince George and Princess Charlotte to the show. Notably his youngest Prince George was not in attendance, and neither was his wife, Kate Middleton, who is currently undergoing treatment for an undisclosed cancer.

So, Prince William was on dad duty, and boy did he deliver.

The future Prince managed to secure a meet-and-greet with his royal children, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, later retiring to a posh box to dance the night away.

You've probably already seen this on social media, but what you don't know is that it's not the first time William has been warming up the vocal chords alongside Taylor Swift.

Back in 2013, he got on stage alongside Swift and American rocker Jon Bon Jovi to sing a rendition of the latter's hit 'Livin' On A Prayer'. He did so for a Kensington Palace charity event, when Bon Jovi called William up on stage, referring to him as a 'karaoke kid'.

Prince William was hesitant at first, but Bon Jovi later told The Independent that Swift brought it all together.

"She literally grabbed him by the arm and ran up on stage, and they both knew the words and sang along," he said. "I give her kudos and I'm grateful to this day because, you know, there's the future king of England with the biggest pop star in the world singing one of your songs. It's a great memory."

William has always been open about his love for music, opening up about this moment on Apple Fitness+'s Time To Walk podcast.

"I'm sat next to Taylor Swift. She's on my left. And after Jon does his first song, there's a pause, and she turns to me. She puts her hand on my arm, looks me in the eye, and says, 'Come on, William. Let's go and sing,'" he recalled.

"To this day, I still do not know what came over me. Honestly, even now I'm cringing at what happened next, and I don't understand why I gave in. But, frankly, if Taylor Swift looks you in the eye, touches your arm, and says, 'Come with me …' I got up like a puppy and went, 'Yeah, OK, that seems like a great idea. I'll follow you.'"

It seems his Swiftie hypnosis extends to grooving away at the star's concert, and honestly nothing could give the future King better PR than this.

2. Hard launch for Travis Kelce.

While it was just the British royal family in their own A-reserve box, Swift has her own 'royal box' on the go, otherwise known as the VIP tent. Naturally, Travis Kelce was there singing along with his frat boy dancing and swapping bracelets with his genial attitude.

However, Kelce departed the box for a moment to star on stage during a transition in Taylor's The Tortured Poets Department section.

It's the first time any of Swift's boyfriends have gone on stage at one of her concerts to perform (Taylor Lautner helped announce Speak Now but we’re not counting that). She also took this weekend as the opportunity to hard launch their relationship on Instagram, posting a selfie of them (AKA American Royalty) with the British royal family.

She also posted a photo of them on stage together as the lead image in her wrap-up carousel of the weekend. Consider this royal-box-regular officially launched.
