Taylor Swift mania has hit Los Angeles this weekend as the best-selling songstress takes her sold out Eras tour to the Sunny State. It means local residents are on high alert that there is a chance they cross paths with Swift. So spare a thought for the young woman who headed to an early morning Taylor Swift-themed spin class only to see security everywhere.

In a video on TikTok, she explains that she had the ‘biggest heart attack of my life’: ‘my mind immediately goes “holy sh– Taylor Swift is about to be riding in my 7am Soul Cycle class”‘. Alas, it wasn’t to be. Rather than Swift, the ‘VIP’ in question was none other than… Rishi Sunak. ‘Turns out it was the Prime Minister of the UK. Apparently he’s a Swiftie,’ she explains in the video.

The Prime Minister is currently on his summer holiday in California and is known to enjoy spinning, owning a Peloton. As Steerpike previously reported, Sunak’s wife attended a Soul Cycle class with Jill Biden when the First Lady visited for the coronation.

A government insider tells Mr S: ‘He loves spin. And Taylor. So he’s clearly making the most of all he loves on holiday.’

The real test of his commitment to Swift will be whether Sunak can get his hands on a ticket to the Eras tour…
