Photos from the night captured Ryan and Clare enjoying themselves after Tubridy presented an award to Nadine Coyle.
Joining Ryan and Clare at the concert were other notable Irish personalities, including Alan Hughes and his husband Karl Broderick.
The former Late Late Show host shared that he was trading friendship bracelets with his fellow Swifties.
One of Ryan’s followers commented on his post sharing an adorable story: “My 11-year-old little girl and her two friends met you on the dart on the way home. They traded bracelets with you and it was one of their favourite stories of the night.”
She continued: “They didn’t manage to get tickets but they stood outside the stadium singing their hearts out, true Swifties.”
Ryan re-shared her story and complimented their commitment to the cause.
Other Irish stars made their presence known at the sparkling Eras Tour. Among them, fellow presenter Graham Norton was spotted enthusiastically enjoying the show from the stands. Norton shared his excitement, describing Taylor’s performance as “off the scale fabulous.”
The enchanted evening also attracted actress Amy Huberman and her husband, rugby legend Brian O’Driscoll. They were joined by sports icons Johnny Sexton and his wife Laura, as well as Rory Best and his wife Jodie.
