Taylor Swift Invited a Key VIP to London Eras Tour, But He Declined — Here's Why

Taylor Swift offered a VIP ticket to one of her Wembley Stadium tour dates to one key person.

Ahmed Khan, the owner of Kentish Delight, a London kebab shop she frequented, was invited to one of her London shows, he politely declined the offer.

According to Ahmed Khan who spoke to The Sun, Khan was busy at his food joint to attend Swift's highly-anticipated Eras Tour show in the capital city.

Swift's ex-boyfriend Joe Alwyn reportedly introduced her to the restaurant where she was impressed by the delicious food. She was so impressed that the singer's team invited Ahmed to give him a free VIP ticket.

The London food joint owner explained why he politely declined he was understaffed which is why he was busy.

Talking about her interactions with the 14-time Grammy winner, Ahmed said, "She first came in before the pandemic with [Alwyn]. He knew we had the best kebabs so wanted to show [Swift]."

"It did not feel like she was a big celebrity. She was very down to earth and spoke to everyone with respect."

The famous order preferred by Swift, a chicken doner sandwiched in pita bread with fresh salad and aromatic garlic sauce, has been forever enshrined as the mouthwatering "Taylor Swift kebab."

"Some fans came down from Edinburgh just to get her kebab and went straight back again," the owner said.

Kentish Delight even appeared in the music video for her song, "End Game," promising Ahmed that a new video shoot is on the horizon.

In preparation for her upcoming series of eight sold-out performances in the city, the "Fortnight" singer took great care to ensure she and her crew would not go hungry. Swift's team placed a massive order, consisting of 45 hearty chicken doner kebabs.

"They'll be collected by someone from her team on the night," a source told The Sun.

"It's a big order but the kebab house can handle it. [Swift] adds garlic sauce to hers, as well as heaps of salad."

A recent survey conducted among Amazon's workforce for the Chatterbox series revealed that Swift's culinary preferences are quite impressive. Kebabs emerged as the top choice among the teams participating in Euro 2024, showcasing a shared fondness for the flavorful dish.
