Grant’s tweet went viral, with over 5.5 million views, 11K retweets and 169K likes in just over a day after posting.

One fan even responded that his wife offered the actor a friendship bracelet, a staple of the Swftie fanbase.

‘My wife gave you a friendship bracelet and I received a text saying how thrilled she was and how very charming you were so thank you for giving her that memory,’ the tweet read. 

The husband added, ‘I am now fully expecting Hugh Grant movie marathons this week at her request.’ 

‘Travis Kelce should add Hugh Grant x1 to his bio now’ and ‘So glad you had fun! Taylor spreads joy and happiness everywhere she goes (along with her gigantic boyfriend’. 

During his ‘wild’ night, the actor was spotted eating carrots and wearing earplugs to protect his ears from the 90,000 strong crowd. 

Fan videos show the Notting Hill actor surrounded by the host of A-list celebrities including Greta Gerwig in the covered tent in an open-collared white shirt with his grey hair pushed back neatly. 

The Wonka actor stood towards the back of the celebrity gaggle with a pair of thick-rimmed black sunglasses tucked into his neat shirt as he glanced around the tent and out towards the stage.
