Taylor Swift Makes Surprise Appearance in Kate Middleton's Latest IG Post

Prince William and Kate Middleton closed out 2024 in style, sharing a highlight post that’s giving fans all the feels. The Prince and Princess of Wales rounded up their most memorable moments from the past year, and the reel didn’t disappoint. From footage of the iconic Trooping the Colour parade—Kate’s first public appearance since her cancer diagnosis—to scenes from her beautiful “Together at Christmas” carol concert, the recap was filled with heartfelt highlights. But one moment in particular has fans buzzing and, yes, it involves none other than Taylor Swift.

This wasn’t just a casual nod to the global pop icon. As many royal watchers will remember, Prince William, along with Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince George, 11, had a backstage moment with Swift during her Eras Tour stop at London’s Wembley Stadium last June. The now-famous photo shows the "Fortnight" singer snagging a selfie with the royal trio, and it made the highlight slideshow.

Naturally, fans were thrilled to see the crossover.

“I knew the Taylor Swift pic was making the cut!” one fan commented. Another gushed, “I love thém all, but the picture of Prince William and the children with Taylor Swift where he looks more excited than they do is still my favorite. What a beautiful family they all are.” A third added, “Loved all the photos but so happy they included Taylor Swift ones.”

It’s safe to say the meet-up wasn’t just a highlight for fans—it clearly stood out for the royal family, too.

The Prince and Princess captioned their post: “2024. Happy New Year! Wishing you all a wonderful 2025.”
