Unexpected Taylor Swift surprise at Buckingham Palace ahead of singer’s first London show. The All Too Well Singer starts her shows at Wembley Stadium on Friday night. Taylor Swift kicked off the London leg of her Era’s tour on Friday night and just hours before she took to the stage, the singer was graced with a special royal tribute.

Over at Buckingham Palace during the Changing of the Guards, her hit song Shake it Off was performed. A video of the performance was shared on the official social media channels for the royal family and aptly titled: Changing of the Guard (Taylor’s version). Alongside the video were the words: “Can’t stop, won’t stop groovin’ @@BritishArmy @ArmyInLondon @CorpsArmyMusic.”

The Taylor tribute went down a treat with followers. “PERFECTION, no notes,” one excited fan penned. A second added: “Your social media manager needs a raise or a knighthood”. One fan even tagged Taylor herself, writing: “@Taylorswift you MUST see this!!”

Whilst London is preparing for Swiftmania, the royals have enjoyed an exciting week at Royal Ascot. So far, we have seen nearly all of the senior members of the Firm, dressed to the nines during the carriage processions over the last few days.
