Celebrities are proud Swifties, too.

Stars from all walks of fame headed out to see Taylor Swift perform during her three concert stop at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens. The last leg of the Eras tour started Friday night, which is when most bold faced names came out in force.

Among the sea of friendship bracelets — and rain droplets — were many recognizable faces. Think Tom Brady with his sons Jack and Benjamin (moms are the Hall of Famer’s respective exes, Bridget Moynihan and Gisele Bundchen).

“I think I learned I’m a Reputation guy,” said Brady’s caption, referring to Swift’s 2017 hauntingly unforgettable album.

Fellow GOAT, Serena Williams, also came out to the show, which happened to be her 7-year-old daughter Olympia’s first concert. On social media the tennis icon called herself a “casual Swiftie” while rocking out like crazy to “You Belong With Me.”

Another lucky kid enjoying her first ever concert? Jupiter French, Ashley Tisdale’s 3-year-old daughter with musician husband Chris French. The “High School Musical” alum shared adorable footage of the toddler with pink, sparkly ear-protecting headphones dancing it up in silver cowboy boots.

Due to his commitment with the Kansas City Chiefs, Swift’s baller beau Travis Kelce couldn’t attend, but a bunch of family members went in his stead. Mama Donna, as well as his older bro Jason, his wife Kylie and two of their young daughters Wyatt and Elliotte all represented. Jason also provided one of the most viral moments of the evening, when the retired NFL center appeared to nod off in his seat.

Three high profile ladies you don’t normally see in a nighttime setting made a surprise cameo: “Today” show anchors Hoda Kotb, Savannah Guthrie and Jenna Bush Hager, whose kids were in tow. The early morning squad looked to be having a blast, probably because they didn’t have to wake up at the crack of dawn the following day.

Speaking of surprises, someone iconic to anyone who watched TV in the late ‘90s surfaced at one of the shows: Sarah Michelle Gellar, who attended with two pals.

By the looks of her social media, Gellar was on a girls’ trip, tagging such fancy spots as the Soho Beach House and Casadonna.

“Florida!!!” said the “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” star’s caption, referencing Swift’s classic hit of the same name. “It’s one hell of a drug.”

Finally, music legend Billy Joel went backstage Saturday night with his two daughters Della and Remy with his wife, Alexis Roderick Saturday. They all took pictures with Taylor and her mom Andrea. Joel explained on Facebook that he and Elton John had played the same venue years ago, setting record numbers.

“[Taylor] set a new record and ushered in a new era at Hard Rock Stadium,” said the post. “Celebrating someone’s success does not negate your own. She is showing our girls all that is possible. Onward and upward.”
