Taylor Swift and her dad, Scott Swift, both became emotional during her recent London show.
The “Bad Blood” singer is on the second U.K. leg of her record-breaking Eras Tour, where she received a rapturous applause after performing her song “Champagne Problems.”
Seemingly touched by the reaction from her fans, Taylor Swift told them she had been “recording a video of that” in her head as she sang so she could hold on to the moment forever.
She then turned her attention to her parents—her mom, Andrea Swift, was also in the crowd at Friday’s show—revealing they would have also loved the reaction.
“I guarantee my parents were just recording that on their phones,” Taylor Swift told the audience at Wembley Stadium. “So anytime I’m having a very sad or bad day from now on, not only will I play the video in my mind, but I’m gonna revisit that moment a lot. Thank you so much for doing that for us.”
Concertgoers standing near the singer’s parents recorded their reactions to her speech, and Scott Swift appeared to get emotional, wiping away tears.

“Safe to say all of us got emotional,” wrote user @jaderezendec, who posted a clip of the moment on TikTok, where it has received more than 76,000 views.
The viral video was also shared on X, formerly Twitter, by the Taylor Swift fan account @imalltoowell, where it gained more than 149,000 views.
Social media users on X reacted to the emotional video, with one user writing: “She literally has the best relationship with her parents. It’s so beautiful to see.”
“I was there last night that standing ovation was so loud and I didn’t think the whole stadium was going to stop. @taylorswift13 definitely deserved it though brilliant show,” another added.
Another commenter wrote, “He’s emotional.”
Scott Kingsley Swift and his daughter, honoree Taylor Swift, at the 50th Academy of Country Music Awards in Arlington, Texas, on April 19, 2015. He went viral for his reaction to his daughter giving him.
The moment was captured by TikTok user @stephaniemiec, who managed to nab the snack from the Swift patriarch.
“Scott handing out chicken tenders during ‘Style’ somehow makes sense,” the user wrote in the video’s text overlay, as the clip showed her receiving the chicken.
In the video’s caption, she added a direct message to the singer, “Tell your dad I said thank you, it was just what I needed.”
Taylor Swift’s parents have long been involved in her career, which she began as a teenager. Scott Swift has also been credited with helping to broker the historic distribution deal for her Eras Tour concert movie.
In 2023, he bypassed traditional Hollywood distributors and negotiated a deal directly with AMC and Cinemark to screen the concert film, a move that could rewrite the Hollywood distribution system.
