Hugh Grant got "absolutely smashed" on tequila shots with Travis Kelce at a Taylor Swift show in London over the summer

He told NME: "It's my daughter who's mad about Taylor Swift. I'm an amazing dad. I'm an amazing person. I put out some feelers and to my astonishment, they said, 'Come along,' and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

"She went mad, my daughter. She brought a friend and they were bopping away and I hung out with Taylor Swift's boyfriend, Travis Kelce, who's an American football player.

"We did tequila shots at the back of this kind of hut in the middle of Wembley. And there were a bunch of, I think they were, rappers. I dunno what they were. Anyway, we all got absolutely smashed on tequila."

After the concert, Hugh posted a message on X - formerly known as Twitter - thanking Taylor for the night out, writing: "Dear @taylorswift13, You have an incredible show, an amazing and v hospitable team and excellent if gigantic boyfriend (#tequilashots.).

"Thanks so much from one ageing London boy, wife and thrilled 8 year old #halfgirlhalfbracelet."

Taylor replied to his message, writing: "As a long time Hugh Grant stan this tweet is very important to my culture," and the actor told NME he was thrilled to receive a response.

He said: "It's extremely nice. Her and her team, very hospitable - and it's a brilliant show."

Taylor played eight shows at Wembley Stadium throughout June and August and they were attended by stars including Tom Cruise, Liam Hemsworth, Idris Elba and Channing Tatum.
