Kevin Costner Declares Himself 'Officially a Swiftie', Fans Roast Him For Bad VIP Seats
Kevin Costner is known for his gumption and serious acting chops in films such as Hidden Figures and more, which have a very subtle main character energy. But who would’ve thought that behind the highly professional and slightly gruff exterior lay a fellow Swiftie! The actor recently confessed to being a major part of Taylor Swift's fandom. And that he could barely contain his innocent excitement when he experienced the singer live on her Eras Tour, reports PEOPLE.
The Yellowstone actor took to Instagram to share a snippet of his time at the concert alongside his beloved daughter at the SoFi Stadium in the dazzling city of Los Angeles. He posted a carousel of videos and an image of a very packed crowd. The plethora of fans were singing praises for Swift as she delivered a thrilling and exuberant performance.

As per Costner’s blurry video, the Back To December singer sported her iconic white shirt dress, followed by knee-high boots and a black hat to tie the whole outfit together. While she was rocking out to her songs in front of a sea of fans, fellow Swifties were vibing to her vocals and the beats that followed. Another video of her grooving to the striking rhythm of the electric guitar on a song from her Reputation album was also featured in Costner’s post.
He captions this post by declaring his fond affection for this experience and loving the fact that he could share it with his daughter. "My videos are blurry, but I had an amazing time with my daughter at the @taylorswift show" begins the caption. He goes on to express how awestruck he was with the overall turnover of people in the crowd. And by Swift herself.
