Taylor Swift made a triumphant return to Wembley Stadium, performing her Eras hits to a crowd exceeding 90,000 people. Ed Sheeran, her “best friend,” joined her on stage during her renowned acoustic segment, where she plays a different song at each show. They began with “Everything Has Changed,” a song they co-wrote, but Swift paused, feeling she wasn’t doing the song justice.
The audience erupted in cheers when Sheeran appeared, and they performed a duet. Sheeran also sang a portion of his hit “Thinking Out Loud.” Swift described Sheeran as “like a brother” and expressed her enjoyment of the performance. The crowd’s reaction indicated they enjoyed it as well.
This concert marked the first of five shows at Wembley Stadium for Taylor Swift, with the final show next Tuesday concluding the European leg of her Eras Tour. It was her first live performance since three shows in Vienna were cancelled due to an alleged terror plot, and her first UK appearance since the tragic deaths of three girls at a Swift-themed dance class in Southport, Merseyside. Although Swift did not mention these incidents on stage, she released a statement expressing her shock over the girls’ deaths and has reportedly reached out to their families privately.
Despite security concerns, tens of thousands of fans, known as “Swifties,” filled the venue, dressed in costumes representing different eras of Swift’s career. They swapped friendship bracelets and stories outside, and illuminated the stadium with LED wristbands while singing along to every song.
Swift delivered a three-and-a-half-hour set featuring over 40 songs, including hits like “Cruel Summer,” “Blank Space,” “Style,” “Anti-Hero,” “Lavender Haze,” “All Too Well,” “Look What You Made Me Do,” “Karma,” and “Shake It Off.” She covered 18 years of her career, and after months of performing, she shared with the crowd how surreal it felt to be nearing the end of this tour segment.
With four more shows ahead, fans can expect more surprises and memorable moments. Swift reminded them that this is what her Eras are all about.
