Taylor Swift fans are gearing up to sing and dance as the American singer takes to London's Wembley Stadium for five back-to-back nights this week. The 34-year-old But Daddy I Love Him singer's Eras Tour first kicked off in early 2023, but she didn't get to the European leg of her tour until May this year. She began in France before arriving in the UK in June.
The popular musician performed for three nights at the Wembley Stadium at the end of June, with many A-list celebrities in attendance. She went on to perform in Zurich, Milan and Warsaw before making her way back to London to prepare for her five sold-out nights at Wembley, with the likes of Paramore and Suki Waterhouse opening for her. Her tour didn't come without a few scares and tragedies as she was recently forced to cancel her Vienna shows because of a foiled terror plot.
The All Too Well singer is said to be "devastated" by the foiled terror plot in Vienna but has yet to address it publicly. Yesterday she broke cover for the first time since the news emerged, attending a party at London venue Annabel's, which she hosted for her staff on The Eras Tour. Taylor also released a statement about the tragic Southport knife attack - in which three girls attending a Taylor Swift–themed dance class were murdered.
With Taylor gearing up to perform in London again, security had been heightened to ensure the safety of everyone attending the shows.

Taylor Swift breaks cover for first time since Vienna plot Additional ticket checks Along with heightened security, fans will be asked to show their tickets at multiple points.
Wembley Stadium said: "Standing guests please refer to the colour zone on your ticket to get you to the correct queuing ramp. Seated guests please refer to the colour zone on your ticket to get you to the correct turnstile. The quickest route to your entry point is by following the signage for the colour zone.
"Note: Additional ticket checks will be in operation at points in and around the stadium prior to entry. Please have your tickets ready to show stewards when asked." A merchandise megastore is located in the green car park and can be accessed on the five concert days, and on Wednesday and Sunday, when Swift is not performing.
Wembley Stadium says: "Overnight camping is not allowed." Everything you need to know about getting to the stadium and the concert itself can be found here. Heightened security plans Security is being ramped up around the three London dates after the US superstar was forced to cancel three sold-out shows in Vienna after a sick terror plot targeting the shows was uncovered.
Two men have since been arrested. Thousands of fans flocking to the iconic stadium to see Taylor this week have been hit with an extended list of banned items - which includes glass or metal containers, large bags or aerosol containers. Stadium chiefs are said to pulling out all the stops to increase security, increasing staff during the shows and ramping up strict restrictions on what fans are allowed to bring to Wembley .
In a special section on the venue's website, a full list has now been published with the caption: "Please make sure you’re not bringing anything you shouldn’t before arriving. Everyone will be checked before entry, and we don’t want any Bad Blood – we’d hate to have to turn you away." The full list of banned items can be read here.
Fans are also only allowed to bring bags no larger than A4 size (H297mm x W210mm x D210mm), and each person can bring only one small bag. Updated start times The page also states that anyone waiting outside the venue's entrances who does not have a ticket will be asked to move on, i n key news for fans hoping to 'Tay-gate'. If you do have tickets, it's worth noting the start times vary from show to show.

Those who weren't able to purchase initial release tickets for her five London dates may still have the opportunity to snap up a few seats but will have to be quick before they sell out. However, these tickets can only be snapped up from online resale sites such as viagogo and Vivid Seats , offering fans the chance to see some of Swift's forthcoming performances.
And the prices might just take you by surprise. The ticket prices on these websites are quite steep - due to fans setting their own rates. And with five remaining Wembley Stadium shows in London, there are still a few options for desperate Swifties.
At the time of writing, some tickets on viagogo are being sold for £456..
