Stevie Nicks, Travis Kelce and every Irish celebrity we spotted at Taylor Swift's Dublin shows

It was Taylormania all weekend in Dublin, as the American superstar took over the Aviva Stadium for three consecutive nights.
And among the 150,000 attendees at The Eras Tour (Ireland's Version), were some very famous guests.
Here's who we spotted.
By far the most talked-about A-Lister at Swift's shows over the weekend was her boyfriend Kansas City Chiefs tight-end Travis Kelce.
The American football star has appeared at numerous shows throughout the European leg of The Eras Tour, but hadn't been spotted at Friday or Saturday's shows in Dublin.
But on Sunday night, the 34-year-old waltzed through the crowd during Swift's folklore/evermore era, smiling and waving at fans as he made his way to the VIP box.
Swift appeared to look shocked at his arrival and fans believe she may have been taken by surprise as Kelce is thought to have been at a wedding in the United States just the day prior.
As has become tradition, Swift changed the lyrics to her closing song 'Karma' to reflect Kelce's attendance singing, 'Karma is the guy on the Chiefs coming straight home to me'.
Another superstar surprise at Swift's final night in Dublin was the arrival of Stevie Nicks.
Swift dedicated her performance of 'Clara Bow', a track she performed live for the first time in Dublin on Sunday to the Fleetwood Mac superstar who she called her 'hero'.
"The reason I want to play this tonight is because a friend of mine is here who is watching the show and who has really been one of the reasons why I or any female artist gets to do what we get to do. She's paved the way for us. And she's mentored so many artists.” Swift said Nicks has been a “guiding hand” to artists.
“I can't tell you how rare that is,” she added.
“She's a hero of mine and also someone that I can tell her any secret and she would never tell anybody. She's really helped me through so much over the years.”
Some fans near the VIP tent even caught Nicks recording the moment on her phone.

After performing the song, Swift turned towards the VIP tent and blew Nicks a kiss.
Swift also performed 'You're On Your Own Kid' as the surprise piano song that night, which Nicks has previously said helped her process the loss of her friend and bandmate Christine McVie.

A real surprise, also on Sunday night, was Oscar winner Julia Roberts.

Anyone who was binge-watching Bridgerton in June will have also recognised Florence Hunt, who plays Hyacinth Bridgerton on the hit show in the VIP tent on Sunday.
Her co-star and Galway native Nicola Coughlan had been seen jamming out to Swift's Eras show in Wembley Stadium last week.
The Cork presenter posted to his Instagram on Saturday, confirming his attendance at the first of Swift's three Aviva Stadium shows.
"You know who in Dublin last night was off the scale fabulous!!," he wrote. "Thank you @taylorswift and your team for a dream of a night. Class act in every which way!!"
Swift has been a long-standing guest on The Graham Norton Show, dropping by the red couch at numerous points over the years.
Another beloved Irish presenter was Shaking It Off at Swift's gigs over the weekend. Former The Late Late Show presenter Ryan Tubridy flew over from London to attend Friday night's show.
Taking to Instagram after the show, the Virgin Radio presenter wrote: "What a lovely evening in Dublin. The gig was spectacular but really, it was the crowd that impressed me most, the kindest, happiest and sweetest bunch of young people."
Tubridy, who many of Swift's young fans will know well as 'The Toy Man' from his days hosting The Late Late Toy Show, said he arrived bracelet-less and left with an armful of friendship bracelets.
"The train home was a hoot! In a world gone mad, this was a beacon of light," he said.
Former Irish rugby internationals Brian O’Driscoll, Johnny Sexton and Rory Best were all at The Eras Show on Friday night.
BOD was joined by his wife, Amy Huberman, who had a very witty caption for her Instagram post writing: "They used to be Swift enough in the Aviva themselves says you."
Sexton attended with his wife Laura and their children, while Best brought along his wife Jodie.
Ireland's rugby legends weren't the only sporting icons in attendance over the weekend. Professional golfer Shane Lowry was also in attendance with his wife Wendy and their seven year-old daughter Iris.
John and Edward Grimes, better known for their stage name Jedward, were also in attendance on Sunday night - and they even came armed with their very own Jepic friendship bracelets.
The two brothers have been long-time fans of Swift's, and even met her backstage at her first show in Ireland at the 3Arena back in 2011.
The former X-Factor stars have also been known to jump swiftly (ahem) to Swift's defence on Twitter whenever there's been a public spat. They're real ones.
