The Duchess of Sussex joined her friend Lucy Fraser for the night out
Shaking it off! Meghan Markle attended Taylor Swift's Eras Tour concert in Los Angeles on Tuesday August 8. The Duchess of Sussex joined her friend Lucy Fraser for the night out at Los Angeles So-Fi Stadium, where she watched the 33-year-old perform a three-hour long set of hits as well as two surprise songs, 'King of My Heart,' (from ) and 'I Know Places' (from ).
Lucy is one of Meghan's closest friends, and appeared in the Netflix documentary
A British publicist, Lucy and Meghan were pals before she met Prince Harry, and they travelled together extensively, with Lucy often appearing on Meghan's now-deleted social media accounts.
Meghan's night out comes as Prince Harry is in Japan where he attended the ISPS Sports Values Summit-Special Edition ahead of a charity polo match.
The father of two was seen arriving at Haneda airport – the same day wife Meghan was spotted two hours south of their adopted hometown Montecito for the night out – with longtime friend and Argentine polo player, Nacho Figueras.
Harry joined panelists to discuss the power of sports, community and philanthropy, and in a speech stressed the importance of teamwork.
"I have long believed that sport is a conduit for healing – not just for the mind and body but the world," Harry said.
"The lessons we learn on the field are the same principles of philanthropy: that a mission, hard work, dedication, and partnership can make even the impossible possible," he continued.
"Whether banded together in victory or showing up with respect in loss, no one ever crosses a finish line or scores a goal without the help and belief of others. That, to me, is the power of sport.”

Taylor's first live tour since the end of the Reputation tour in 2018 has been a triumphant return for the Grammy-winning singer, who found herself at the center of a storm in November when Ticketmaster failed to be able to manage the demand for tickets; the Eras Tour has since become a record breaking tour, as two million tickets were sold on November 15, the most tickets ever sold for an artist in a single day.
On opening night in March, in Glendale, Arizona, Taylor opened the show with deafening applause from the audience - many of whom came in outfits inspired by their favorite albums - as she launched into the album singing 'Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Prince' before leading into 'Cruel Summer'.
The US leg of the tour wraps up on Wednesday August 9 and will soon move on to South America, Asia, Australia and Europe.
In the UK, Taylor will perform 13 dates including six nights at London's Wembley Stadium, where the Prince and Princess of Wales, or perhaps Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie could attend to see the global superstar.
Prince William and Taylor met in 2013 at a star-studded charity gala at Kensington Palace, where the royal famously jumped on stage to sing 'Livin' On A Prayer' alongside Taylor and Jon Bon Jovi.
