Meg Ryan dismisses WOKE criticism: She calls Taylor Swift the ‘Queen of Pop’ after attending London Eras Tour performance

The rom-com queen is bowing down to fellow pop culture royalty!

After attending one of Taylor Swift’s London Eras Tour shows, Meg Ryan commended the music superstar, 34, for an excellent performance — and dubbed her “the Queen!”

The day after the Friday, Aug. 16 concert at Wembley Stadium, the When Harry Met Sally star, 62, was still reeling from Swift’s career-spanning set, and she let her Instagram followers know it.

“Last night at Wembley… WOW,” Ryan wrote on Instagram alongside a photo of two hands stacked with friendship bracelets, a staple Eras Tour accessory inspired by a lyric in Swift’s song “You’re on Your Own, Kid.”

“Thank you, @taylorswift,” the actress continued in the caption. “You’re hands down the Queen!”

The rom-com vet tipping her hat to Swift — plus, joining a bevy of stars who have already attended and lauded the Eras Tour — comes months after the pair made headlines together due to an overlap in their respective films’ release dates.

Last fall, Bleecker Street film company pushed back the release date of What Happens Later — which marked Ryan’s highly anticipated return to the rom-com genre — by three weeks to avoid competing with the singer’s concert film, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour.

Originally slated to hit theaters on Oct. 13 — the same day that The Eras Tour premiered exclusively in AMC theaters — What Happens Later opened on Nov. 3 instead.

Ryan just missed a cameo from Ed Sheeran — the “Perfect” singer made a surprise appearance at Swift’s Aug. 15 show — but she did catch Swift’s sweet shout-out to her parents.

After thanking the crowd for a heartfelt ovation at the Aug. 16 London show, the “Karma” singer included a funny dig at her parents, joking that they most likely documented the interaction.

“I guarantee my parents were just recording that on their phones,” she told the audience, as seen in fan-captured footage shared on X (formerly Twitter).

“So anytime I’m having a sad or a bad day, not only will I play the video in my mind, but I’m gonna revisit that moment a lot,” she continued. “Thank you so much for doing that.”
