Katherine Ryan paid her former midwife to queue at one of Taylor Swift<\/a>‘s ‘Eras Tour’ concerts at Wembley Stadium to ensure her daughter got a spot close to the stage.<\/p>\n

The stand-up comic’s daughter Violet, 15, is a massive Swiftie so Katherine arranged for the midwife to stand in line whilst Violet got dressed in an outfit that was curated by her own stylist in a nearby hotel to the London venue which hosted Taylor eight times last summer.<\/p>\n

The moment is captured in series two of Katherine’s reality TV show ‘At Home with Katherine Ryan<\/a>‘, but the 41-year-old comedian never thought it was a weird thing to do as she just wanted to give Violet a “premium experience”.<\/p>\n

Speaking at a Q+A attended by media, including BANG Showbiz, to launch the show in London on Tuesday (04.02.25), Katherine said: “I know a lot of people were taken aback when I hired my midwife to queue up at Wembley, but a midwife is the perfect person for the job because she’s on call and if someone needs any antenatal care in that queue, she’s there.<\/p>\n

“I\u00a0want to give everyone in my life a premium experience.<\/p>\n

\n“I’m not aware it’s weird until everyone turns up and starts filming it. That’s just the way I’ve always been with it, do you know what I mean?”<\/p>\n

\nViolet – who Katherine raised on her own after she got pregnant aged 25 – joins her mother, stepfather Bobby Kootstra and her two younger siblings, Fred, three and Fenna, two, in their successful fly-on-the-wall U+W series.<\/p>\n

\nKatherine insists she is “impervious” to people’s opinions about her behaviour as a parent or as a person and that shows in the programme.<\/p>\n

\nSpeaking to Q+A host Emily Dean, the ‘8 Out of 10 Cats’ star said: “Violet and I had a wonderful life for a decade, and we went on so many adventures, and I just want to keep that up even though I keep cutting her inheritance down every nine months.<\/p>\n

\n“I know it’s weird but again – and I also know I’ll get judgement for certain things, like the Taylor Swift tickets and the midwife queuing. I get that. But, I really am just impervious to that.<\/p>\n

\n“It’s a really interesting jumping-off point for conversations to happen in the UK for people who watch it.<\/p>\n

\n“If I’m the catalyst for conversation, I don’t mind, I like engagement …<\/p>\n

\n“I’m like the Marie Curie of Taylor Swift concerts in a way.”<\/p>\n

\n‘At Home with Katherine Ryan’ starts on Monday, February 10 on U+W, stream free on U.<\/p>\n
