Taylor Swift Sees London’s ‘Cabaret,’ Starring Longtime Friend Cara Delevingne, in Between Eras Tour Dates
Taylor Swift went from Madrid to the Kit Kat Club in London’s West End to see her friend Cara Delevingne as Sally Bowles in Cabaret Friday night (May 31).
Rumblings circulated on Friday that the “So Long, London” star — who played back-to-back stadium shows in Spain on May 29-30 — made it to Delevingne’s West End stage debut before the run ends. Post-show, Swift’s attendance was confirmed by a member of Cabaret‘s production team.
Arthur Jones, head of marketing of ATG Productions, the theatrical production company behind Cabaret, verified that Swift was at the performance in reply to a question on X (formerly Twitter): “Taylor Swift?? Was supporting Cara Delevingne?? At Cabaret?? TONIGHT??!!”
“can confirm. a special night @kitkatclubldn,” he wrote.
“Did she watch the show last night??” another person asked on X. Jones again indicated that Swift did see Cabaret, answering with a thumbs up
Delevingne, who has Only Murders in the Building and Suicide Squad among her acting credits, starred as Sally Bowles through June 1 in the musical’s revival staged at London’s Playhouse Theatre.
In late January, Delevingne was spotted by Swift’s side in a stadium suite watching Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs make their way to the Super Bowl. Around the time, she was also seen at dinner with Swift and Brittany Mahomes in New York City.
The two have known each other for more than a decade, dating back to Delevingne’s modeling days; Swift performed at the 2013 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show while Delevingne walked the runway.
Swift next takes her Eras Tour to Lyon, France, with shows slated for Sunday, June 2, and Monday, June 3, before heading to Edinburgh, Liverpool, Cardiff and then back to London, and then on to Dublin, all before month’s end. The extensive European leg of The Tortured Poets Department hitmaker’s tour runs through late August.
