Taylor Swift's Eras Tour made the dreams of many Fleabag fans come true over the weekend.

Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Andrew Scott were among the plethora of stars in attendance at the singer's third show at Wembley Stadium in London on Sunday, June 23, and fans were delighted to see the actors reunite nearly five years after Fleabag's conclusion.

They were photographed in the VIP tent at the venue – alongside Sophie Turner, Paul McCartney, Jon Bon Jovi, Gracie Abrams and Travis Kelce, who later joined Swift, 34, on stage – and later spotted stepping out before they hastily returned to their spot.

In a video that quickly made the rounds on social media, Scott, 47, and Waller-Bridge, 38, were walking away from the VIP tent when the opening notes of "Style" off 1989 (Taylor's Version) began to play. They were waving at excited fans as they walked, before Scott noticed what song had started, grabbed his former costar's hand, and started running back toward the tent.

He turned around to make sure Waller-Bridge was keeping up with him, and she seemed to be just as excited as she hustled back to the tent to see Swift perform "Style."

The former costars' outing comes days after they met Swift for dinner in London.

On June 11, the singer was joined by Scott, Waller-Bridge, Kate Moss, Stella McCartney, Cara Delevingne, Lena Dunham, and Este and Danielle Haim at Notting Hill's Casa Cruz ahead of the start of a string of U.K. dates on her record-breaking tour.

In Fleabag, Waller-Bridge played the titular character, who is referred to solely as Fleabag, while Scott played the priest — dubbed by fans as the "Hot Priest" — who Fleabag was crushing on, but was ultimately rejected by as he remained faithful to the clergy.

After seeing Scott and Waller-Bridge enjoying Swift's concert together, fans praised the videos and photos as proof of an alternate ending to the series, where Fleabag and the Priest end up together.

"The ending Fleabag deserved ♥️," one user wrote on a fan page's Instagram post.

"I’m telling everyone this is Fleabag’s ending," another fan wrote, while another added, "THE REAL ENDING, I CAN REST IN PEACE NOW."

After only two seasons, the comedy series concluded — with a particularly devastating confession of love and subsequent denial between Fleabag and the Priest — and though fans have long wished for more, Waller-Bridge, who created the show, was insistent that 2019 marked its ending.

"She's been through enough. We got to let her go," she said of the character on Late Night with Seth Meyers following the finale.

Though it may be long over, the roles continue to hang over the actors' heads — but that's not a bad thing. Scott told PEOPLE at the premiere of All of Us Strangers in December that he thinks it's "great" that he's still recognized for the role.

"It hasn't prevented me from spreading my wings and it was such a wonderful character," he said. "And there's much worse things to be called in life."
