The "Stranger Things" star has revealed that he took his stepdaughter to Swift's concert on June 9 in Minnesota, and he shared that Swift made the experience even more special by sending a personalized note. In an Aug. 17 interview on the "Happy Sad Confused" podcast, Harbour shared that he "had to call in a lot of favors" to procure tickets, but that the event "was pretty extraordinary."
"We went to Minneapolis because it was the only weekend we could go see it and I love Minneapolis," he said, though he didn't specify which stepdaughter he took to the event. "It's a real music town, too, like Prince. People are really there to see the concert as opposed to Instagram the concert, so it was like a perfect place to see it. I did say as we went in, 'If there is an opportunity to say hello . . .' And they said, 'She's leaving on a plane right after the concert.' We sat there for about 30 minutes of the opener and then a woman came out with a letter. It was addressed to me and my stepdaughter, and it was a handwritten letter on a particular stationery. I've never seen my stepdaughter speechless."
He added that Swift even gave him and his stepdaughter a tiny shout-out during the show. "[Taylor] did say in the letter at one point, 'I'll give you a wave from the stage,'" Harbour continued. "And at one point, during the beginning of one of her numbers, she did turn to our little booth and [waved]."
The actor went on to elaborate about how impressed he was by Swift's performance. "She is a force of nature," he said. "I didn't really have any idea, it's not really my . . . my thing was Madonna," he said. "I saw Madonna concerts, I saw Guns N' Roses concerts. Seeing her perform for three-and-a-half hours, that's like 45 songs. She barely leaves the stage, I don't know when she pees. It's ridiculous — she's a force of nature."
Harbour became a stepdad to his wife Lily Allen's two daughters, Ethel and Marnie, in 2020.
