The backstage selfie from the London Eras Tour stop in June 2024 is basically a piece of history now. Prince William, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Taylor Swift, and Travis Kelce, all in one frame. What we didn’t know until this week is that William spent part of that moment trying to get Travis out of it. He told Graham Norton that Travis kept stepping back into frame and he couldn’t work out why.
Travis brought it up on New Heights and took it in stride, saying he was just a boyfriend at that point and wasn’t her husband yet. That line is doing a lot of work, because the photo turned out to be the first time Taylor and Travis ever posted each other on social media. It wasn’t a random group shot, it was a milestone.
Since then the couple got engaged in August 2025 and married at Madison Square Garden on July 3. So the crop attempt officially failed forever. What’s your favorite celebrity photobomb story? Drop it in the comments.
