Megan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, is no stranger to grabbing headlines with her carefully orchestrated PR stunts.
As her husband, Prince Harry, embarked on a solo trip to Tokyo, Japan, Megan decided to make her presence felt at Taylor Swift’s ERA’s tour concert in Los Angeles on Tuesday, August 8th.
However, her attempts to catch the paparazzi’s attention seemed to fall flat.
Accompanied by her friend Lucy Frazier, Megan joined a star-studded audience at the Los Angeles SoFi Stadium to witness Taylor Swift’s triumphant return to the live stage.
The Grammy-winning singer delivered a three-hour-long set, featuring her greatest hits along with two surprise songs, “King of My Heart” and “Unknown Places.”
Hollywood stars like Tiffany Haddish, Cameron Diaz, Reese Witherspoon, Emma Watson, and Zoe Saldana were also spotted posing for pictures at the event.
Interestingly, Gayle King, a former friend of Megan, was also in attendance.
However, despite the multitude of cameras present, there were no photos of Megan at the concert.
It seems that she was overshadowed by the main attraction, Taylor Swift, and other A-list celebrities.
The media’s focus remained on these prominent figures, leaving Megan unnoticed.
Perhaps feeling frustrated and wanting to draw attention to herself, Megan reportedly jumped out of her seat during Taylor’s performance of the song “You Belong With Me,” even though she didn’t know the lyrics.
It was an odd reaction that caught the eye of an onlooker, who happened to be a friend of Gayle King.
This incident raises questions about Megan’s true intentions for attending the concert.
Was she genuinely there to enjoy the music, or was it merely a ploy for attention?
Critics argue that Megan’s presence at Taylor Swift’s concert was nothing more than an attempt to associate herself with the superstar.
However, without a VIP ticket or celebrity seating, Megan’s efforts seemed futile.
In a crowd of 50,000 people, she was just another face in the crowd, far from the intimate setting of her home studio podcast where she once interviewed Taylor.
The skepticism surrounding Megan’s attendance might lead to a potential backlash from her supporters.
Will she claim that she had a backstage encounter with Taylor and was showered with praise by the singer?
Only time will tell.
One thing is for sure: Taylor Swift seems to have acquired herself a dedicated fan in Megan Markle.
