Hugh Grant recently shared a delightful anecdote about a lively night he spent at a Taylor Swift concert in London, where he bonded over tequila shots with the singer’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce. The 64-year-old actor, known for his roles in ‘Bridget Jones’ and ‘Love Actually’, recounted the experience on Zoe Ball’s BBC Radio 2 breakfast show. Grant expressed his enjoyment of the concert, stating, “I loved it. Couldn’t have enjoyed it more.” He also mentioned the warm reception they received at the event, with his daughter happily dancing along to the music.
Delving into the more spirited part of the evening, Grant revealed, “Meanwhile, I was doing tequila shots with Taylor Swift’s very nice boyfriend, whose name has slipped my mind – Travis.” He further added, “We went crazy,” describing the experience of knocking back the shots as somewhat revolting but enjoyable with the right accompaniments of lime and salt. The conversation on the show also veered towards Grant’s venture into the horror genre with the new film ‘Heretic’, where he admitted his discomfort with scary movies.
Grant humorously shared his experience of finding the close-up shots in the film terrifying, joking that he resembled his grandmother in those scenes. Earlier this year, Grant had praised Swift’s concert experience, highlighting her incredible performance and the hospitality of her team, including her “excellent if gigantic boyfriend.” Other notable personalities who attended the European leg of Swift’s tour included Prince of Wales, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, Tom Cruise, and Sir Paul McCartney. Swift’s Eras Tour is set to continue with upcoming dates in Canada, concluding on December 8 in Vancouver.
The actor’s revelation of his fun-filled night at Taylor Swift’s concert has garnered attention and added a touch of celebrity flair to the musical event. Grant’s candid sharing of his experience offers a glimpse into the unexpected connections and memorable moments that can occur even at star-studded gatherings. His mix of humour and charm in recounting the tequila-fuelled escapade with Travis Kelce adds a relatable and entertaining element to his night out with the pop icon and her entourage.
