Taylor Swift fans left gobsmacked as figures spotted dancing on top of Wembley Stadium

Swifties had their attention diverted during the second night of the Eras tour in London

There's not much that could snap Taylor Swift fans out of a trance when they are watching her perform on stage, but it seems strange figures dancing on top of Wembley Stadium might do the trick.

As the second night of the sold-out Eras tour gigs in London got underway, the thousands of Swifties who had piled into the iconic venue had their attention diverted by a trio stood on the roof.

Around halfway through the show on Saturday (22 June), footage started to circulate on social media showing the silhouettes of three people taking in Swift's performance from a birds eye view.

Due to the unprecedented demand for tickets to the Eras tour, a lot of people initially presumed desperate fans had somehow scaled the side of Wembley to get a glimpse of the pop star, in scenes reminiscent of the Stone Roses gig at Spike Island.

One X user said: "Did they literally climb up the stadium or something????????" as another laughed: "Me tomorrow if I don’t find last minute tickets again."

A third joked: "Restricted or obstructed view ticket*."

And a fourth added: "Maybe they didn't have a ticket but had a long long ladder to climb up there."

Others also speculated that the trio might have been security guards, snipers, or drone spotters on the roof.

Thankfully, Wembley has now revealed what the three people were really up to, so we can all sleep soundly tonight.

A spokesperson for the stadium explained that they were 'pre-approved professionals' who were part of the pyrotechnics team which handle all the special effects while Swift is on stage.

Wembley told LADbible: "We can confirm the individuals on the roof of Saturday night's performance of Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour were pre-approved professionals as part of the pyrotechnic team, equipped with full safety equipment."

So for those struggling to get tickets to the Eras Tour, have you ever thought about a career as a pyrotechnician?

All jokes aside, the trio had a brilliant view of the Pennsylvania-born star during the second gig, which was attended by famous faces including Tom Cruise, Ashton Kutcher, Mila Kunis and Hugh Grant.

It comes after the Changing of the Guard had a Taylor Swift twist on it on Friday (21 June), as Buckingham Palace's band performed a rendition of her hit song 'Shake It Off' while the soldiers outside of the Palace swapped shifts.

Prince William also celebrated his 42nd birthday at the Wembley concert that night with his three kids Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, nine and Prince Louis, six.

He was caught on camera shimmying to 'Shake It Off' as Swift did her thing on stage.

The singer, 34, later shared a selfie posing alongside the Royals and her boyfriend Travis Kelce backstage.
