Zara Tindall stirred up a storm when she made a surprise appearance at Taylor Swift's Eras Tour in June alongside her husband Mike Tindall and cousin Prince William.
However, it appears Princess Anne's daughter, 43, was getting into the 'Fearless' era way before her recent outing to Wembley Stadium.

Zara was seen alongside Prince William's then-girlfriend Kate Middleton, now the Princess of Wales, and Prince Harry's then-girlfriend Chelsy Davy.

Royal cowgirl chic

The King's niece wasn't the only royal to style out a cowboy hat before Taylor Swift and Beyonce made them mainstream.
