Alicia Keys’ Son, Taylor Swift Have Sweet Backstage Moments at Eras Tour – Billboard

Taylor Swift made sure Alicia Keys‘ son felt extra bejeweled at her Eras Tour show over the weekend.

In a carousel of clips from the pop star’s Saturday (Aug. 5) show at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif., Keys revealed that 8-year-old Genesis, whom she shares with husband Swizz Beatz (the pair also have 12-year-old Egypt), got some extra special V.I.P. treatment from Swift backstage. The “Anti-Hero” singer posed for pictures with the mom-son duo, and even gifted Genesis with a handwritten note.

“Gen, Hi my friend!!” read Swift’s card. “I was so excited when I heard you were coming tonight!! I hope you have so much fun at the show. I’ll be waving at you. Love, Taylor.”

The “Girl on Fire” artist also included a clip from Swift’s first meeting with Genesis at the 2019 iHeart Radio Music Awards. In the video, the pop superstar is spotted at the event adorably waving to the then 4-year-old, both of them seated in the same row in the audience.

“Big love to @taylorswift for your big beautiful spirit that makes everyone feel loved!” Keys captioned her post on Instagram. “Genesis adores u.”

So far, Swift’s L.A. performances have been quite the family affair. At the Thursday (Aug. 3) show, Kobe Bryant’s wife, Vanessa, and daughter Bianka were in attendance, and Swift took a moment to give Bianka a big hug in the middle of her set.

The 12-time Grammy winner is halfway through her run at SoFi, with three more shows on the docket starting Monday night (Aug. 7). Already, everyone from Lupita Nyong’o to Mindy Kaling, Sarah Paulson, Brie Larson, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Max Greenfield, Hunter Schafer and Kesha have come out to the Inglewood venue to see Swift perform her last few shows on the first U.S. leg of the Eras Tour. After making her way through Latin America, Asia, Australia and Europe, Swift will return in fall 2024 for a second round of shows in the states.
