Taylor Swift has wrapped up the Eras tour for good. Over the course of two years, she performed a staggering 149 shows, including eight in the capital. The 35-year-old pop icon made history at Wembley Stadium, becoming the first solo artist to perform there eight times in a single tour.
Swift’s record-breaking achievement surpassed Michael Jackson’s previous record, set during his Bad Tour in 1988. During her time at Wembley this summer, Swift generated endless social media buzz, notably when her boyfriend Travis Kelce appeared on stage, was given the royal seal of approval when Prince William showcased his dad-dancing skills and welcomed a slew of A-listers to star-studded audience filled with A-list celebrities. Looking back at her time in London, here are the most memorable highlights from her London run.
Longtime Swift collaborator Ed Sheeran popped up at the first gig of her second sold-out London run, much to the delight of fans. "This is one of my best friends in the world," she told the crowd at the end of the set. "He works so hard, he's on tour right now and he's probably so tired but he wanted to come and play for you.
” Together, they played a medley of the two songs they’d made together - End Game and Everything Has Changed - before rounding things off by duetting for mega-Sheeran track Thinking Out Loud. It wasn’t just Sheeran who stunned audiences with a surprise appearance as Florence Welch, of Florence + The Machine joined Swift to perform their duet.
