Taylor Swift announces UK, Europe and Asia tour dates for her Eras tour

• Published 21 June 2023
• Glastonbury Festival

Taylor Swift has announced international dates for her record-breaking Eras tour, with shows set for UK, Europe and Asia in 2024.

The pop star will play nine shows in the UK, with concerts in Edinburgh, Liverpool, Cardiff and London.

There is also a gap on Glastonbury's final night, with the star rumoured to be reclaiming the headline slot she missed in 2020 due to the pandemic.

The first leg of the tour has seen her play to record audiences in the US.

Demand for the tickets was so high that it overwhelmed Ticketmaster's systems, with thousands of fans left unable to obtain seats.

The fiasco led to Ticketmaster being hauled in front of US senators to answer questions on the company's handling of the event.

Swift herself said it was "excruciating" to watch fans struggling to get tickets, and that she had been assured Ticketmaster could cope with the demand.

For the UK dates, fans have been invited to register interest via Swift's website , external , although those who tried to do so after the announcement were put in a long queue.

After registration closes, fans will be sent a purchase link for tickets. The London dates then go on sale on 18 July, followed by Edinburgh on 19 July and Cardiff on 20 July.

"We expect there will be more demand than there are tickets available," Ticketmaster warned those who successfully registered.

"Tickets will be sold on a first come, first served basis while currently-available inventory lasts".

Taylor Swift's 2024 UK dates:

7 & 8 June - Edinburgh, Murrayfield Stadium

14 & 15 June - Liverpool, Anfield Stadium

18 June - Cardiff, Principality Stadium

21 & 22 June and 16 & 17 August - London, Wembley Stadium

Eras is Swift's first world tour since 2018, since when she has released four new studio albums, including the Grammy Award-winning Folklore.

Music publication Billboard has estimated the ticket revenue from the 52-date US tour to be $591m (£464m).

Those shows launched in March, with Swift playing a three-hour, 44-song set spanning the entirety of her recording career.

As well as hits like Shake It Off, Love Story and Lover, she plays two "surprise" acoustic songs at every show, often bringing out special guests to help.

So far, the acoustic section has included fan favourites like Mirrorball, Snow On The Beach and Getaway Car alongside more mainstream hits like Welcome To New York and her debut single Tim McGraw.

Everything we know about Taylor Swift's songwriting

Fans have been clamouring for international dates for months, and the tour extension will see her play in Asia and Australia at the start of 2024, before reaching Europe in May.

Reactions from 'Swifties' - a term the pop star has trademarked and uses to call her fans - in Asia have already been wild on social media.

She will begin her Asia tour in the Japanese capital Tokyo, where she will play for four nights beginning 7 February. She will then make her way to Australia, performing first in Melbourne for two nights, and then three nights in Sydney.

Her Asia leg ends in Singapore, the only South East Asian country in her Eras tour, where she will set up stage for three nights ending on 4 March.

The UK dates will kick off at Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium on 7 June, and wrap up with two nights at London's Wembley Stadium in August.

Two earlier Wembley shows appear to clash with Glastonbury's first two nights. But she has a space in her diary on Sunday 23 June, which means she could close the festival with a headline slot on the Pyramid Stage.

Reviews for the US leg of the Eras tour have been overwhelmingly positive.

"The queen of pop reclaims her throne," declared The Times , external , adding: "If there is a danger that shifting between 10 such different albums could lead to an uneven experience it is somehow avoided here, with Swift managing to produce a cohesive experience despite the constantly changing outfits and backdrops."

"The Swifties are certainly going to be Enchanted," said Hello magazine in a review peppered with Swift's song titles. , external

"It's been a long wait back to this moment, but karma is, indeed, a queen - and this was worth the wait."

"The achievement is often staggering," concluded Billboard , external , "with costume changes, set-piece upheaval [and] vulnerable moments in a crowd of thousands and sing-alongs that will rival the scope of any tour this year."

There have been reports of fans who couldn't get tickets gathering in car parks outside venues to sing along with the star's songs.

Other fans have reported suffering a form of amnesia after the show, due to the overwhelming nature of the experience.

Taylor Swift's 3 new Eras Tour openers have connections to Rihanna, Ed Sheeran, and Imagine Dragons. Here's everything to know about the rising stars.

• Taylor Swift has recruited three rising stars to perform during The Eras Tour in London.
• Mette, Griff, and Benson Boone will join Paramore as tour openers at Wembley Stadium.
• Keep reading for key songs you should know and details about each artist's career.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour cast is expanding.

Swift, who's currently in the midst of the tour's European leg , has already welcomed an array of artists to share her stage, including Phoebe Bridgers , Sabrina Carpenter, MUNA, Gayle , Gracie Abrams, and more. But on Monday, Swift announced that she'd recruited three more rising stars.

Mette, Griff, and Benson Boone will join Paramore as openers for Swift's set of London shows: Mette will perform on Friday, June 21; Griff on Saturday, June 22; and Boone on Sunday, June 23. (Swift will return to Wembley Stadium for five additional dates in August, but those openers have not yet been announced.)

"Thought this might be a fun time to announce the first group of opening acts I'll be adding to the London shows, going on before Paramore," Swift wrote on her Instagram Story. "I chose artists whose music I love listening to, and I can't wait for them to add an extra jolt of excitement to our shows."

If you've yet to add Mette, Griff, or Boone to your own playlists, keep reading for a primer on their careers so far.

Key songs: " Bet ," " Van Gogh ," " Mama's Eyes "

The lowdown: Mette Towley, who releases music mononymously as Mette, is a singer, dancer, and actor from Minnesota.

She initially received acclaim after starring in the 2017 music video for "Lemon" by N.E.R.D and Rihanna; the clip opens with Rihanna shaving Mette's head. You may also recognize her from a brief cameo as the discontinued Video Girl doll in the 2023 blockbuster "Barbie."

Mette and Swift most likely met on the set of 2019's "Cats," in which Mette played Cassandra . (Swift portrayed Bombalurina in the unsettling adaptation of the Broadway play.)

More recently, Mette released her debut EP "Mettenarrative" and toured with the UK's disco darling Jessie Ware.

"I really wanted to be an artist growing up, but dance was where I felt most confident in my abilities," she told Vogue last year. "Even when I started making this EP back in 2019, I didn't tell most of the people I knew, my friends and collaborators. It just still felt so far away. Now, I feel like I can truly claim that for myself."

"I have nothing to prove," she added. "Only to share."

In addition to joining The Eras Tour this summer, Mette will also perform at Lollapalooza in Chicago.

Key songs: " Vertigo ," " Miss Me Too ," " Black Hole "

The lowdown: Griff — born Sarah Faith Griffiths in Kings Langley, Hertfordshire, to a Jamaican father and Chinese mother — has described herself as a lifelong Swiftie .

"She's probably one of the No. 1 people that I look up to in terms of being a songwriter and being a top female in the music industry and being so consistent and coming back, time after time after time, with incredible songs," Griff told Nylon . "I even said that to her."

The two musicians met at the 2021 Brit Awards , where Griff received the annual rising star award and performed her popular single "Black Hole." (Swift had previously called herself a " huge fan " and even gave Griff a shout-out while accepting the global icon award .)

Griff kept her music aspirations a secret at school and only began pursuing it in earnest after finishing her A-Level exams. Instead of enrolling in a university, she took a "gap year" that quickly snowballed into a professional career . After releasing a string of well-received singles, she opened on tour for Ed Sheeran, a noted pal of Swift's . She has also collaborated with fellow indie-pop darlings like Sigrid and Maisie Peters .

Benson Boone

Key songs: " Beautiful Things ," " Slow It Down ," " Cry "

The lowdown: Benson Boone seemed to arrive out of nowhere when his single "Beautiful Things" topped both of Billboard's global charts in February. The surprise viral hit owes much of its success to TikTok, where Boone has 7 million followers .

However, the Washington native had been laying the groundwork for years, already having earned two entries on the Billboard Hot 100 .

Boone started out as a contestant on "American Idol" — where he was praised as a potential winner by none other than Katy Perry — but withdrew from the competition to avoid being pigeonholed in his career. In 2021, he caught the attention of Imagine Dragons frontman Dan Reynolds and signed to the rockstar's own label, Night Street Records, in partnership with Warner Records .

Shortly after, Boone made his chart debut with "Ghost Town" (No. 100). He made a second chart appearance in 2022 with his power ballad "In the Stars" (No. 59), which also became his first platinum-certified single in the US.

Time to start saving up, Swifties. The news that Taylor Swift is going on her first tour in five years is exciting enough, but once you see the star-studded list of guest artists she’s bringing along for the ride, you’ll really want to purchase a ticket.

The pop star announced Tuesday (Nov. 1) that she would be embarking on The Eras Tour , a celebration of all 10 of the studio albums she’s released since 2006 — at least, that’s what the trek’s title suggests. Swift also shared a poster advertising the tour’s 27-date U.S. leg on Instagram featuring a collage of photos of herself through the years, from the time of her self-titled debut to Midnights , which dropped less than two weeks prior to the tour news.

All the Surprise Songs Taylor Swift Has Performed on The Eras Tour (So Far)

The Cats star hasn’t hit the road since 2018, when she launched her best-selling Reputation Tour. She had planned on performing again after the release of her 2019 record Lover in a concert series called Lover Fest, but canceled the shows due to the global coronavirus pandemic.

For those who are keeping count, this means that Tay has six albums-worth of new material that she’s never played live — if you include the previously unreleased vault tracks on 2021’s Fearless (Taylor’s Version) and Red (Taylor’s Version) . Studio albums Folklore, Evermore and, of course, Midnights , have all also been released in the time between Lover and the Eras Tour.

Though additional international dates won’t be announced until a later time, Swift did also reveal exactly who’s joining her during her highly anticipated return to touring. A total of nine artists make up the supporting act lineup for the tour’s first leg — with two acts slated per night to open for Tay night — and some of them are very familiar faces for the Swiftie community.

Keep reading to see who’s joining Taylor Swift on her 2023 Eras Tour below:

• 3/17 – State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz.
• 3/18 – State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz.

Taylor Swift and Paramore ‘s Hayley Williams have been friends for years, and now they’re teaming up for the Eras Tour’s kickoff show in Glendale. The “Anti-Hero” singer brought Williams out during a show on her Speak Now tour to sing “That’s What You Get” in 2011, cast her in the award-winning “ Bad Blood ” music video in 2015, and reveled in her praise of Swift’s 2021 record Evermore .

Swift and the ladies of HAIM have been best pals dating back to the 1989 World Tour, when the multi-Grammy winner first had the sister band open for one of her tours. Since then, the four women have collaborated on a song together — “No Body, No Crime” on Swift’s Evermore — and joined forces again in 2022 for Swift’s “Bejweled” music video .

Gracie Abrams

A longtime fan of Taylor’s, Gracie Abrams summed up her feelings about going on tour with the “Willow” singer-songwriter in an emotional Instagram post. “@taylorswift you know i will never have the words,” she captioned a photo of The Eras Tour poster. “THE ERAS TOUR IS HAPPENING AND I WILL NEVER HAVE THE WORDS @taylorswift Thank you. Thank you thank you thank you. Thank you. I love you. holy. s–t.”

Christian Owens, or Owenn, his stage name, went from being a backup dancer in a Taylor Swift tour to being an opening musician for a Taylor Swift tour. He performed onstage with Swift during her Reputation tour in 2018 and was also the pop star’s costar in her “Lover” music video in 2019 before joining the Eras tour opening lineup.

When the pop superstar announced her first international dates for the Eras Tour, she also revealed that “sweet angel princess” Sabrina Carpenter would be opening for her in Mexico, Argentina and Brazil. The “Nonsense” singer has been spotted accepting friendship bracelets from other Swifties on the Eras Tour, and told Audacy in November that she loves Midnights , saying, “The whole album’s amazing.” Two of her favorite tracks, though? “Karma” and “Bejeweled,” she said at the time.

Eras Tour Openers: What To Know About Taylor Swift’s 10 Opening Acts

Sabrina Carpenter will be joining Swift at her international tour stops.

Taylor Swift has always been ahead of her time when it comes to selecting her opening acts. In 2013, she had collaborator Ed Sheeran open for her on the Red Tour before he blew up to superstardom. The same thing happened to Shawn Mendes after he was an opening act on the 1989 World Tour in 2015, and Charli XCX’s profile only rose after 2017’s Reputation Stadium Tour . So, it should come as no surprise to Swifties that Swift’s openers for the Eras Tour , her first trek in more than five years, are a who’s who of today’s most beloved artists and soon-to-be stars.

Rather than bring one or two artists to open every date as with her past tours, Swift has assembled an army of up-and-coming musicians and Grammy nominees, spreading them across the tour. Paramore, HAIM, Phoebe Bridgers, beabadoobee, MUNA, girl in red, GAYLE, Gracie Abrams, OWENN, and Sabrina Carpenter will all be opening for different dates on tour. In fact, if fans wanted to catch them all, you’d have to go to at least six different shows across the country — and then all the way to Latin America to see Carpenter in action.

Tickets were hard enough to get for one Eras Tour show, so if you’re one of the lucky Swifties who obtained seats, you need to know who’s going to perform on your date. This guide to Swift’s 10 Eras Tour opening acts will give everything you need to know, including each artist’s notable songs and their own connections to the 12-time Grammy winner.

Swift is kicking off the Eras Tour with a bang, having platinum-selling band Paramore open for the first two shows. Swift has been friends with lead singer Hayley Williams for quite some time, having her star in the “Bad Blood” video and bringing her out to sing “That’s What You Get” on the Speak Now Tour, and their friendship will only grow when Paramore also joins the European leg of the tour.

“Having Paramore join me on tour is such an honor,” Swift told Billboard in January. “We came up alongside each other as Nashville teenagers writing our own music, so it feels insanely special to kick off the tour together nearly two decades later.”

In May 2022, Swift posted a TikTok of her getting ready to make her NYU commencement speech, set to the tune of beabadoobee’s dreamy and bittersweet “See You Soon.” Swifties should’ve caught it as an Easter Egg, because the Filipino-British songwriter , who is labelmates with one of Swift’s favorite bands The 1975, will probably sing that ballad at her Eras Tour shows .

“I remember telling an interviewer that my dream support was Taylor Swift, and then I got a call from my manager saying she wants you to go on tour with her,” she told The Times in February. “I messaged all my girlfriends, ‘Guess f*cking what…’”

In October 2022, MUNA covered Swift’s folklore fan favorite “august” for Spotify’s “Live at Electric Lady” series. Just a couple weeks later, the proudly queer synth-pop band, who are signed to fellow opening act Bridgers’ label, were announced as one of the Eras Tour openers . It will be Katie Gavin, Josette Maskin, and Naomi McPherson’s biggest slot to date, after opening for Kacey Musgraves’ Star-crossed Unveiled Tour and Lorde’s Solar Power Tour.

“We were just starting to make music in college when 1989 came out,” McPherson recalled to Variety . “I remember a friend of mine gave me Fearless on a flash drive, and I was obsessed with ‘Fifteen’ and in my feelings.”

After collaborating with Swift on her Red (Taylor’s Version) “From the Vault” track “Nothing New” in 2021, Bridgers is taking the next step in their musical partnership by opening for Swift, even taking a small break from her supergroup boygenius for the Eras Tour. The duo has constantly praised each other’s catalogs, with Bridgers calling Swift’s music “high art” on Charli XCX’s radio show Best Song Ever . “She’s like the king of her craft,” she said. “She’s just a perfect example of someone who uses all the resources at her disposal to be completely genuine.”

Swift has a special fondness for the color red, so it’s no surprise that she quickly became a fan of girl in red , supporting her debut album If I Could Make It Go Quiet on her Instagram Story in May 2021, which would also double as a hint about Red (Taylor’s Version) . The emerging artist said that Swift even sent her an email that was as long as a “f*cking book.” “I was like, ‘I love you so much... you’re my everything,’” she told iHeartRadio.

Swift and the HAIM sisters have a long history. The band appeared as opening acts for a few shows on the 1989 World Tour, and they’ve all stayed close friends ever since, with Swift often joking that she’s the fourth Haim sister . Their musical partnership has grown as well, with HAIM lending story inspiration and background vocals on Swift’s evermore track “no body, no crime,” and Swift returning the favor for a remix of their 2020 song “Gasoline.” At this point, the Eras Tour is just another fun reunion.

Gayle probably wouldn’t say “abcdefu” directly to Swift, but she will be singing it with thousands of people at the Eras Tour. After releasing her two-part EP A Study of the Human Experience and landing her first Grammy nomination in 2022, Swift has now given Gayle a new feat to check off her list.

She’ll technically be the first person overall to perform on the Eras Tour, as she’s the first opener on opening night. “It just means the world to me,” she said on Apple Music 1 on March 10. “I had no clue what I was going to do this year. I was like, ‘Oh my God, I had the best year of my life. What am I going to do next year?’ And she was like, ‘Here’s something to add to your calendar.’”

After opening for Olivia Rodrigo’s Sour Tour and making her debut album Good Riddance with Swift’s folklore and evermore collaborator Aaron Dessner, the indie-pop singer is now slated to play the most shows of all Eras Tour openers.

“She’s as spectacular a person and friend as she is an artist, writer, director,” Abrams told Billboard in February. “She’s really that great. To be able to lean on her in any capacity really means a lot. I’m so stoked to watch her crush it every single night. To see her up close in that way and be able to study that is the greatest gift.”

While OWENN may not be an immediate familiar face, you’ve seen him before without even realizing it. He starred in Swift’s 2019 “Lover” video as the titular lover, and before then, he got his start as a dancer and choreographer for the likes of Beyoncé, Miley Cyrus, Lil Nas X, and Swift. After Swift helped him get signed to Republic Records, he’s putting his music career in the spotlight as the only male opening act on the Eras Tour. “I cried like a little baby,” he told iHeartRadio about his reaction to finding out he’d be an opener.

Carpenter is one of pop music’s fastest-rising stars, with her fifth album Emails I Can’t Send breaking her out of the Disney mold and becoming her highest-charting record. The singer doesn’t have a huge public history with Swift, aside from attending the Eras Tour in Philadelphia, but her reaction to joining the Latin American shows proves she’s been a Swiftie all along.

Taking to Twitter, Carpenter shared a screenshot of a tweet she wrote after attending the Fearless Tour in 2010, alongside the Latin American tour poster. “Trying to process this but alas i shant,” she wrote. “Thank u @taylorswift13 u the 1 :’) this is the dreamiest dream come true.”

There's no denying that Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is one of the most in-demand concerts of all time. Not only have all the tour dates sold out but Ticketmaster also crashed during the first sale.

Taylor Swift's 'Eras Tour' Is Going To Japan, Australia, Europe & More

The singer announced more international tour dates for the Eras Tour .

Taylor Swift is back on tour for the first time in five years. Since her last tour, she’s put out a whopping four albums, each with its own mythology, color scheme and unique sound to mark whatever era of her life — both creatively and musically — she’s currently in. When it comes to Taylor, there’s something for everyone: There’s the longing cottage-core of folklore and evermore , the self-hating, depressive late nights of Midnights , the dreamy rosy-eyed glasses of Lover . Swift is now revisiting these eras on her latest Eras Tour which, after an extensive 2023 U.S., Mexico, and South America run, will finally make its way overseas in 2024 to Japan, Australia, Singapore, and Europe.

In true Taylor form, she’s bringing her friends along for the ride — who encompass a wide swatch of generations and music tastes as varied as Swift’s own catalogue. Swift is supported by Paramore, beabadoobee, Phoebe Bridgers, girl in red, MUNA, HAIM, GAYLE, Gracie Abrams, and OWENN on the tour’s 2023 U.S. leg. (Yes, you have permission to scream!) While Sabrina Carpenter will take over for Swift’s shows in Mexico, Argentina, Brazil and a few 2024 dates in Australia and Singapore. Paramore will return as openers for her 2024 European shows.

The Eras Tour kicked off March 18, 2023 in Glendale, AZ, the same place her “Reputation” tour began in 2018, with the U.S. leg wrapping in L.A.’s SoFi Stadium on August 9 — the same place she was set to open her 2020 Lover Fest mini-tour. Following shows in Mexico and South America, she embarks on her third leg of international dates starting February 2024.

For everything else we know about attending Swift’s Eras tour, including the full tour schedule, dates, and how to score tickets, read on.

Where is the 2023 Eras Tour Playing?

On June 20, Swift announced the international third leg of the Eras tour, consisting of shows in Japan, Australia, Singapore, and various countries throughout Europe. This run of dates kicks off in February 2024 in Japan, and wraps mid-August in London. See the full schedule below.

By Kara K. Nesvig

As many fans suspected, Taylor is embarking on tour in support of the many albums she's released since 2017's Reputation and its tour in 2018, including Lover , evermore , folklore , Midnights and all the Taylor's Version re-records . Because that's a lot to pack into one tour, Taylor has cleverly titled her latest trip around the United States the "Eras Tour," and in her own words, it's been "a long time coming." (And if you're overseas, don't worry — she'll be heading your way too!)

Taylor shared the big news on Instagram with a pic of the tour poster, which features images from Fearless, Lover , and Red, among several others. "I’m enchanted to announce my next tour: Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour, a journey through the musical eras of my career (past and present!)" she wrote. "The first leg of the tour will be in stadiums across the US, with international dates to be announced as soon as we can!"

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour: All the U.S. and international dates and opening acts

Taylor Swift opened the Eras Tour at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona — which rebranded itself as "Swift Cit y" for the March 17 and 18 concerts — with a triumphant return to live performance as the first act in the history of that venue to sell out two nights on the same tour.

By that point, she'd already broken the all-time record for most concert tickets sold by an artist in a single day and passed Madonna's Sticky & Sweet Tour as the highest-grossing tour in history by a female artist.

And Swift rose to the occasion , leading her band through a marathon 44-song set that lasted more than three hours while delivering on her promise of "a journey through all of my musical eras."

So what does she do for an encore? Here's where the Eras Tour is headed next, adding two surprise songs to the set at each show. Here's a look at what she's played so far .

Public transport for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in London: what you need to know

Here’s exactly how to get to and from Wembley this weekend when Taylor’s in town

Starting off in Edinburgh, the UK leg of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour has been slowly making its way southward through the UK  – and now she’s finally landing in London. Swift is arriving off the back of three nights at Edinburgh’s Murrayfield , three nights in Anfield, Liverpool , and a single show in Cardiff . This weekend she’ll perform the first three of eight shows in total this summer at Wembley Stadium. 

More than 700,000 people will make their way to Wembley to see Taylor shimmer, with 90,000 attending each night of the concert, so it’s safe to say that Wembley Park tube station is going to be seeing a lot of traffic. 

If you want the night to go as smoothly as possible, it’s worth planning your pre- and post-Eras travel plans ahead of time to avoid ending up in claustrophobic queues for packed buses at 1am. Luckily London’s public transport is quite extensive and reliable, so if you really try you can probably mastermind your way back home before midnight.

Here’s everything you need to know about getting to and from the Eras tour at Wembley stadium.

How to get to Taylor Swift’s concert in London

The fastest and easiest way to get around the capital is by the Underground – there are two stops you can go to. 

Wembley Park  station is on the Jubilee and Metropolitan lines, while  Wembley Central  is on the Bakerloo line and Overground (not a tube, but still operated by TfL).

By train, Wembley Stadium Station  is served by Chiltern Railways with direct services to Marylebone. 

Bus and coach

If you’re travelling from another city by coach, National Express runs services which will take you straight to the stadium, which you can book here . If you are getting a coach into Victoria Bus Station it is easiest to travel to the stadium by bus or tube. 

There are several local bus services which serve Wembley Stadium including  18/N18 , 83/N83 , 92 , 182 , 206 , 223 , 297 and 483 . 

The Citymapper app comes highly recommended by locals for planning transport across the city. It can be downloaded on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store for free. Apple Maps and Google Maps are also pretty handy. 

The venue recommends anyone who is physically able to use public transport does, but if you do come by car you must book a parking space in advance. Unfortunately this service is already sold out for the June Eras tour dates.

If you are a blue badge holder and hold specific accessibility requirements, there is detailed information available here for you to ensure you are able to safely and easily access the stadium.

If you still have questions about transport to and from Wembley, have a look on the venue’s dedicated travel webpage here .

The rock band formed in 2004 but achieved mainstream success with the release of their second album Riot! in 2007. With hits such as "Misery Business," "Crushcrushcrush," and "That's What You Get," the band was nominated for best new artist at the 2008 Grammy Awards .

In February 2023, the band released their new album This Is Why , just in time for the Eras Tour.

Swift and Paramore lead singer Hayley Williams go way back, with Williams previously performing with Swift during her Speak Now Tour and appearing in the singer's star-studded music video for "Bad Blood ."

Paramore appeared as an opening act during Swift's Glendale, Arizona concerts on March 17 and 18. They are also set to open for Swift during her European tour dates.

Sisters Este, Danielle, and Alana Haim comprise this popular rock band, which released their first EP Forever in 2012, which eventually led to a deal with Polydor Records and a management deal with JAY-Z's Roc Nation group. The group received critical acclaim for their 2013 album Days Are Gone , including a nomination for best new artist at the 2015 Grammy Awards .

In June 2020, they released their third album Women in Music Pt. III , which received multiple Grammy nods. An expanded edition of the album featured Swift on the track "Gasoline ," which the singer performed with the band at their London show in July 2022.

Haim's friendship with Swift dates back to 2014 when they were seen attending some of Swift's legendary parties (including her 25th birthday party). Recently, they made a cameo in Swift's star-studded "Bejeweled" music video , which was packed full of Easter eggs about potential Swift album re-recordings.

In addition to serving as the opening act for the Seattle, Washington, and Santa Clara, California concerts, Haim also opened for Swift on the final nights of her U.S. tour in Los Angeles, California.

Phoebe Bridgers

Phoebe Bridgers first stepped into the music scene with the band Sloppy Jane before embarking on a solo career. She released her debut studio album, Stranger in the Alps , in 2017 to critical acclaim, followed by her second album Punisher in 2020, which received four nominations at the 2021 Grammy Awards , including best new artist.

In November 2021, Bridgers appeared on Swift's Red (Taylor's Version) on the track "Nothing New." In April 2022, Bridgers' song "Sidelines" was notably featured on Conversations with Friends , which starred Swift's boyfriend Joe Alwyn .

Bridgers opened for Swift from May 5 to May 28 including stops in Nashville, Tennessee and East Rutherford, New Jersey.

Beabadoobee

Beabadoobee, whose real name is Beatrice Kristi Laus, is a Filipino-British singer who first rose to prominence in 2017 with her music on YouTube. Her song "Coffee" gained over 300,000 views on YouTube, gaining the attention of Dirty Hit Records, whom she later signed with in 2018.

Her debut studio album, Fake It Flowers , was released in October 2020, receiving critical acclaim including the Radar Award at the 2020 NME Awards, where she first met Swift. " Taylor Swift came up to me and told me that she loved my performance and loves my music. She said she never skips a song," Beabadoobee said of her interaction with Swift .

In addition to receiving high praise from Swift, artists such as Harry Styles , Khalid, Jaden Smith, and Matty Healy of The 1975 have shown their support for the singer. Beabadoobee even served as the supporting act for The 1975, a group Swift has also shown her support for over the years.

Beabadoobee opened for Swift from March 24 to April 29, which will include concerts in Las Vegas, Nevada, and Houston, Texas.

Girl in Red

Girl in Red, whose real name is Marie Ulven Ringheim, is a Norwegian singer-songwriter who first stepped onto the scene in 2017 with her music on SoundCloud. In 2018, she released her EP Chapter 1 , followed by Chapter 2 in 2019 and her debut studio album If I Could Make It Go Quiet in 2021.

In 2019, Girl in Red embarked on her first North American tour supporting Conan Gray, another artist Swift has shown her support for in recent years. Girl in Red, whose lyric topics range from heartbreak to mental health to her experience of being queer , has also cited Swift as one of her biggest musical influences.

"I'm inspired by Taylor Swift on so many levels," Girl in Red previously told Vulture . "She's been in this industry so long, gotten the worst that any artist can get when it comes to how the world talks about them, but she still always bounces back with great music."

Girl in Red served as Swift's opening act starting on June 2 in Chicago, Illinois, and ending on June 24 in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Muna is an indie pop band consisting of members Katie Gavin, Josette Maskin, and Naomi McPherson. After meeting at the University of Southern California, the trio began making music together, releasing their debut EP, More Perfect , on Bandcamp and SoundCloud. The EP eventually scored them a record deal with RCA Records, though they later signed with Phoebe Bridgers' record label Saddest Factory in 2021.

In addition to releasing three studio albums together, the group has opened for a number of big stars over the years, including Harry Styles and Kacey Musgraves. Muna, who all identify as queer , has gained prominence in the LGBTQ+ community for their lyrics about sexuality and gender.

Swift previously showed her support for the band back in 2020, when she included their track "Number One Fan" on her playlist celebrating International Women's Day. Most recently, the group put their own twist on Swift's Folklore track "August" with the release of their Live at Electric Lady EP.

Muna played at various shows in March, April, June and July 2023, with their final concert being in Denver, Colorado.

Gayle, whose full name is Taylor Gayle Rutherford, was first discovered by former American Idol judge Kara DioGuardi , and eventually signed to Atlantic Records. In 2021, Gayle released her single "ABCDEFU," which quickly went viral on TikTok and Spotify. In March 2022, Gayle released her EP, A Study of the Human Experience Volume One , followed by A Study of the Human Experience Volume Two that October.

In September 2022, Gayle and Swift connected at the Nashville Songwriter Awards, where they were both honored. Gayle later posted a photo with the singer on social media, excitedly writing, "i've died and come back to life." Gayle later sat with Swift at the 2022 American Music Awards in November, alongside fellow Swiftie Sabrina Carpenter.

Gayle served as Swift's opening act for several different dates in March, April and May as well as some of the final U.S. concerts for the tour on Aug. 5 and Aug. 9.

Gracie Abrams

Gracie Abrams, the daughter of director J.J. Abrams and producer Katie McGrath, started garnering buzz in 2019 when she released her debut single "Mean It" under Interscope Records, followed by her debut EP, Minor, in July 2020 and her second EP, This Is What It Feels Like , in November 2021.

While Abrams credits Swift, Bon Iver, Lorde, and Phoebe Bridgers as her musical influences, she has also received praise from some big artists as well, including Post Malone , Billie Eilish, and Olivia Rodrigo (she even opened for Rodrigo on her recent Sour tour ).

Following the release of Abrams' song "Rockland," which was produced by Aaron Dessner, Swift showed her support on TikTok , joking that she needed "5-7 business days" to recover from the song. Abrams was also notably present at Swift's 32nd birthday celebration .

"Everything that she does is f—ing unbelievably inspiring, motivating, it makes me want to do better and be the best version of myself as a writer and a person," Abrams previously told Teen Vogue of her admiration of Swift .

Abrams toured with Swift for a large number of shows from April to August, with her last concert being in Los Angeles, California, which was the final stop on the U.S. tour.

She is also set to join Swift for the Eras Tour in Canada.

Owenn, whose full name is Christian Owens, is an up-and-coming singer who has a long history with Swift. In addition to being a dancer for Swift, during her Reputation stadium tour, Owenn costarred with her in her "Lover" music video .

In fact, Swift helped Owenn get his record deal with Republic Records. "She actually contacted the head of Republic herself on my behalf, which was kind of crazy," Owenn previously revealed during an Instagram Live . In April 2021, Owenn released his debut single "Baby Girl" followed by "Rest of My Life" in 2022.

Following Swift's Eras Tour announcement, Owenn expressed his gratitude to the singer on social media, writing, "I'm so blessed and grateful for this opportunity. Thank you @taylorswift a million times over !!! … This is truly a dream. Thank you everyone for all the support.. I'm still processing!"

Owenn served as the opening act for Swift throughout June as well as one of the last U.S. tour dates on Aug. 4.

Sabrina Carpenter

Sabrina Carpenter first rose to fame as an actress on Disney Channel with the Boy Meets World spinoff series Girl Meets World . Around the same time, she embarked on a singing career with her EP Can't Blame a Girl for Trying in 2014.

Since then, she has released five studio albums, including 2022's Emails I Can't Send , which featured hits such as "Because I Liked a Boy" and "Nonsense." She also went on the Emails I Can't Send Tour later that year in support of the album.

Swift and Carpenter have developed a close friendship in recent years, but Carpenter's love for the singer goes way back to 2009 when she posted a YouTube video of her covering "Picture to Burn." In addition to gushing about Swift in interviews, Carpenter and the "Blank Space" singer have shared a number of cute moments together at award shows.

In June 2023, Swift announced Carpenter as her opening act for the international leg of the Eras Tour with a sweet post on social media. “Sweet angel princess @sabrinacarpenter will be joining us on all of the shows!" Swift wrote at the time.

Meanwhile, Carpenter excitedly reacted to the news on Instagram, writing, “trying to process this but alas i shant CANT WAIT TO JOIN THE ERAS TOUR IN LATIN AMERICA thank u @taylorswift u the 1 :’) this is a dream come true.” 

In addition to touring with Swift in Latin America, she will also join Swift in Australia and Singapore.

NEWS... BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT

Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour UK setlist and surprise song predictions

Share this with

The Lover House is burned down, Speak Now is fighting for her life, and we’re all afraid of little old Taylor Swift as she brings the Eras Tour to the UK, with the nation preparing for her first concert tonight.

The 34-year-old’s mammoth three-and-a-half-hour set has sold out arenas in Edinburgh, Liverpool, Cardiff, and six shows in London, kicking off in Edinburgh on Friday night.

UK-based Swifties have really gone all out, with Capital FM releasing a radio station dedicated to the All Too Well icon.

Paris night one revealed an entirely new tour version as the Tortured Poets Department took centre stage and the entire Eras Tour was changed, from bodysuits to choreography.

Fans had already speculated there might be a switch up after she released the Eras Tour film before her tour had finished but this was more than our wildest dreams.

It’s no surprise that Taylor has added in the new album but as the Eras Tour was already incredibly long, some songs were left on the cutting room floor.

The Archer, tis the damn season, and even the last great American dynasty were all brutally ripped from the setlist.

New glittering bodysuits and dresses were rolled out for every era except Reputation, which is the last in the album in the show to get its Taylor’s Version.

So far no vault track appears on her main setlist, only core album songs have a permanent place on the Eras Tour.

Swifties have been left in utter disbelief as Folklore and Evermore were combined into one era, known as the sisters era, to keep the time down.

Speak Now was reduced back down to one song — RIP Long Live — and debut remains reserved for surprise songs in the acoustic set.

Let’s be honest Taylor could perform for six hours and fans would still want more but even she would probably find that exhausting.

After so much upheaval, let’s see what Taylor Swift’s setlist has been left looking like and what that means for the UK.

We’re still going strong opening with Lover but even her seventh studio album and big opener couldn’t survive Taylor’s great setlist war. We’ll miss you, The Archer.

• Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince
• Cruel Summer
• You Need To Calm Down

Fearless Era

The album that made her a superstar remains unscathed but since there were only three songs for this era it’s hardly surprising.

However, a new tasselled bodysuit was revealed and it looks incredibly similar to one worn on the Our Song hitmaker’s original Fearless tour in 2009.

• You Belong With Me

I’m never recovering from this pic.twitter.com/rNTY9smbVH — B R I T T A N Y 🤍 (@sobrittgoes) May 9, 2024

In a position switch up, the setlist now moved from Fearless into Red instead of Evermore but the songs remain unchanged and All Too Well remains firmly in pride of place.

• We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together
• I Knew You Were Trouble
• All Too Well (10 Minute Version)

Speak Now Era

Justice for Speak Now, already balding but now scalped as Long Live has been once more removed.

We’re begging Taylor, I will sacrifice I Knew You Were Trouble for just one more purple-painted dream.

Reputation Era

Yet to have its Taylor’s Version released, Reputation remains unchanged on the mammoth set but has been moved to after Red and Speak Now rather than before.

It’s also the only section that has not had an outfit change, the day that red and black bodysuit goes we’re all going to lose our minds.

• …Ready For It?
• Don’t Blame Me
• Look What You Made Me Do

Folklore/Evermore Era

Once separate totalling 12 songs, Taylor’s lockdown albums have been combined into one – with a lot of casualties.

‘We have reunited the sister albums,’ the singer told the Paris crowd, joking it could be called ‘everlore’ or ‘folkmore’.

Removed from the setlist are: Tis the damn season, the last great American dynasty, invisible string, and tolerate it.

• Cardigan (folklore)
• Betty (folklore)
• Champagne Problems (evermore)
• August (folklore)
• Illicit Affairs (folklore)
• My Tears Ricochet (folklore)
• Marjorie (evermore)
• Willow (evermore)

reunited the sisters and combined folklore and evermore “folkmore” she also removed the 1, tis the damn season, the last great american dynasty and tolerate it from the setlist pic.twitter.com/yoryodUHiQ — Taylor Throwbacks (@ThrowbackTaylor) May 9, 2024

Mother’s favourite child remains safe and sound with no changes and still following the Folklore set. Honestly, we would have loved to see some of this swapped out for the vault tracks which stormed the charts last year.

Bad Blood remains on the setlist, we wonder if Kendrick Lamar is free to come do a surprise live feature…

• Blank Space
• Shake It Off
• Wildest Dreams

this 1989 outfit is EVERYTHING 😭 pic.twitter.com/hr01OgoCzz — Je ϟ (@_jeanea) May 9, 2024

The Tortured Poets Department

Initially, Swifties weren’t sure if this would be added and if so how could the 31 tracks possibly be whittled down into just a handful?

A new era brings blessings of brand new outfits, a floating stage set piece, gunshot choreography, and of course some insane vocal moments.

Taylor has spoken and these are (probably) her favourites off TTPD.

• But Daddy I Love Him
• So High School
• Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me
• The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived
• I Can Do It with a Broken Heart

The stage she’s gliding around on during Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me? IS A MIRROR!!!!! The audience can see themself in the mirror as she’s singing “You caged me and then you called me crazy. I am what I am ’cause you trained me” 💀💀💀 pic.twitter.com/YuV6A21dLs — 🩶beatriz🤍 – ttpd (@coneyisland131) May 9, 2024

Surprise songs

Each night Taylor plays two surprise songs from her vast discography, these have included This Love and Clean from 1989 and Dear John and Last Kiss from Speak Now.

Also known as the acoustic set, Paris Night One fans were (obviously) treated to Paris from her album Midnights played on piano and loml on guitar from TTPD.

In this leg of the tour, Taylor has taken to singing some gut-wrenching mashups and announced she could sing whatever she wanted so any song is on the table.

There are some songs it’s likely she’ll reserve for London, such as London Boy and So Long, London but the rest as up for grabs.

Since the slate was wiped clean with this new leg, and Taylor’s penchant for singing You’re On Your Own Kid repeatedly, there’s no way to predict the Mastermind’s moves.

this might be the best midnights bodysuit yet pic.twitter.com/edqJw45yYC — Tayvis Nation 🏈🫶🏻 (@tayvisnation) May 9, 2024

Midnights Era

Closing out the show is the iconic era which gave us ‘Karma is the guy on the chiefs ’ and that chair choreography — Midnights.

Her 2022 album gets sparkling new outfits, although the Lavender Haze fluffy lilac jacket has not been swapped out.

• Lavender Haze
• Midnight Rain
• Vigilante Shit

What is the old Eras Tour setlist?

With so many changes, here’s what Taylor’s Eras Tour used to look like for a setlist run

• tis the damn season
• champagne problems
• tolerate it
• invisible string
• the last great american dynasty
• illicit affairs
• my tears ricochet

When is the Eras Tour in the UK?

The Eras Tour comes to the UK from tonight , beginning in Edinburgh for three nights before heading to Liverpool, Cardiff, and London .

Who knows what Taylor will have in store for fans given her love for keeping everyone on their toes.

Given the huge overhaul, this is likely to be the setlist for the UK gigs and all her European dates but might have minor tweaks thrown in.

Of course, if you’re sad your favourite track is not on there is always a chance it could be one of the surprise songs as she has no rules around what she can and can’t sing here.

We’re hoping for Picture to Burn, Suburban Legends, The Black Dog , or Hits Different but that tells you far too much about us.

What is Paramore's Eras Tour setlist?

The iconic pop punk band Paramore will be opening for Taylor Swift at the UK gigs and they revealed their setlist in Paris.

Of course, it is much shorter but still packed with hits from the chart-topping band, fronted by Taylor’s long time friend Hayley Williams.

• Hard Times (+ Heart Of Glass)
• Burning Down The House
• Still Into You
• Caught In The Middle
• Brick By Boring Brick
• The Only Exception
• That’s What You Get
• Ain’t It Fun
• This Is Why

Taylor Swift shares Eras Tour update ahead of UK concert dates

Taylor Swift has shared an Eras Tour update, ahead of her UK tour dates in June.

The singer announced that there will be three opening acts before support act Paramore take to the stage ahead of her. Posting to her 283 million followers on Instagram, she said: "I just found out Fortnight is #1 on the UK airplay chart!!!! You guys are amazing and I can't wait to see you.

"Thought this might be a fun time to announce the first group of opening acts I'll be adding to the London shows, going on before Paramore. I chose artists whose music I love listening to, and I can't wait for them to add an extra jolt of excitement to our shows."

The three acts are METTE, Griff and Benson Boone. Taylor kicked off the European leg of The Eras Tour at Paris' La Defense Arena, most recently she took to the stage in Lisbon. In June, she will be in UK with shows in Edinburgh, Liverpool, London, and Cardiff.

Are tickets still available for The Eras Tour?

The tour is sold out but people are being told to keep an eye on Ticketmaster and AXS for official tickets, as there's a chance fans who can no longer attend will resell theirs.

Third-party ticket sites such as Viagogo do have tickets listed but at more than triple the price of face value. Standing tickets cost £617 each whereas seated tickets are as much as £647 which includes restricted views.

Sites such as Vivid Seats allow fans to buy resale tickets from other fans. However, it is important to note many event promoters say tickets should not be resold after initial purchase and will not be valid for admittance to gigs.

Fans attending live events with tickets acquired through resale websites are advised to double-check the ticket terms and conditions at the point of sale - such as Ticketmaster or Live Nation - to ensure a smooth live event experience.

Tickets could be voided if they're found to be bought second-hand. As a result, fans are buying at their own risk. With that said, Viagogo also commented: "Viagogo is a regulated marketplace where fans have the guarantee."

The Taylor Swift Economy Has Landed in Europe

Economists are debating what effect the singer’s sweep through Europe will have this summer as swarms of fans increase demand for hotels and services.

By Eshe Nelson

Reporting from London

It’s not just Taylor Swift fans keeping a close eye on her Eras Tour dates. One of Europe’s most prominent economists is acutely aware that the singer is spending the summer jetting between Europe’s stadiums.

Philip Lane, the chief economist at the European Central Bank, had the pop star on his mind when he spoke at an event on Monday. The interviewer had asked him about the risk that stubborn inflation in the services sector could intensify, especially with Europe heading into a particularly busy summer with the Olympics in Paris and the Euro 2024 soccer championship in Germany.

“Well, that’s very interesting,” he said at the event . “You managed to say all that without saying Taylor Swift.”

Ms. Swift is touring Europe this summer, bringing in her wake hundreds of thousands of Swifties spending on airfare, hotels, restaurants and friendship bracelets . On Friday, she will perform the first of eight shows at London’s Wembley Stadium; about 700,000 people are expected to see the shows in the British capital. And analysts are debating the economic footprint it will leave.

Economists in the United States know that Eras is an economic tour de force. As consumers splurged on concerts, meals, vacations and other recreational experiences they missed out on during pandemic lockdowns, one company estimated that the tour could generate $4.6 billion in North America alone from spending on tickets, merchandise and travel.

Central bankers are justified in scrutinizing the potential inflationary effects of the arrival of a global superstar: In May last year, when Beyoncé kicked off her Renaissance World Tour in Stockholm, an economist attributed a blip in the inflation data to the singer’s concert, as fans traveled from afar to witness the first show.

Europe’s central banks have started to cut interest rates — or are poised to — as inflation has slowed substantially over the past year, putting their 2 percent target rates within sight. But there are lingering concerns that inflationary pressures have not been stamped out because price gains for services, which include hotels and restaurants, are repeatedly higher than expected.

The demand that the Eras Tour creates for hotel rooms and flights across Europe could push up prices that feed into each country’s inflation rate. Central bankers are sensitive to even minute changes in the data as they try to distinguish one-off effects from lasting ones. If central bankers worry that inflation is not slowing as expected, they could hold off cutting rates.

“All those tiny quirks are going to matter a lot,” said Lucas Krishan, a strategist at TD Securities in London. They can “muddle the picture for central banks heading into these decisions.”

Last month, Portugal’s inflation rate accelerated, in part because of a jump in hotel prices in Lisbon “resulting from a major cultural event,” the country’s statistics office said. Ms. Swift performed in Lisbon on May 24 and 25.

The impact that events like Ms. Swift’s tour have on inflation can be mitigated by how well a country’s economists anticipate the effect of her concerts so investors and others are not surprised by the data. Policymakers at the European Central Bank have said that the path back to 2 percent inflation will be “bumpy” and that a relatively strong tourism season is already baked into their forecasts.

But Mr. Krishan said it was possible that Ms. Swift's concerts in August, when the tour swings back through London, could increase services inflation in Britain, especially because one of her tour dates may coincide with the day that the nation’s statistics agency records price data. If hotel prices follow the pattern set when she played in Liverpool this month, services inflation could rise as much as 0.3 percentage points. Higher-than-expected inflation data in August could encourage Bank of England officials to hold off on cutting rates in September, Mr. Krishan said.

Other analysts are skeptical of Ms. Swift’s ability to have a seismic impact that shows up in national statistics.

“Taylor Swift is unlikely to be affecting central bank policy. She’s unlikely to be affecting government policy,” said George Moran, an economist at Nomura. “And I don’t think it’s a sustainable option for growth in a country to rely on having superstar concerts.”

Barclays predicted that Ms. Swift's tour would lead to a bump of nearly 1 billion pounds ($1.3 billion) in the British economy , but those suggestions are hard to substantiate, Mr. Moran said, because no one knows how much people are diverting their spending from other activities. Even then, £1 billion would not be enough to revitalize Britain’s stagnant economy .

Still, Mr. Moran added that for individual cities and certain sectors, the tour could have a meaningful impact. When tickets went on sale last summer, Airbnb searches in host cities increased more than 300 percent on average, the company said. The Greater London authority estimated that Ms. Swift’s eight London shows would generate £300 million for the economy .

“The impact is going to be more local than macro,” Mr. Moran said. “Taylor Swift is obviously a massive phenomenon, and the areas that she’s visiting is causing a big buzz in the hospitality sector.”

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce aren’t saying so long to London just yet.

After the singer wrapped up her weekend of Eras Tour performances at Wembley Stadium, the couple showed PDA on a date night at Chiltern Firehouse.

Swift and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, both 34, left the bar hand in hand early Monday morning.

The pop star paired a colorful crochet dress with yellow heels for the England outing, carrying a small brown purse. She left her hair down.

Kelce, for his part, sported a cream-colored short-sleeve shirt and coordinating pants, as well as a Louis Vuitton bucket hat and sneakers.

They were joined by “Game of Thrones” star Sophie Turner and her boyfriend, Peregrine Pearson, as well as singer Ellie Goulding.

Kelce and Swift gave glimpses of their outfits when leaving the venue Sunday night in a fan video.

“THEY ARE DRESSED NICE WHERE ARE THEY GOING?!” the Swiftie wrote on X alongside footage of the Grammy winner and the NFL star holding hands as they walked down a ramp.

“He’s taking her out,” one social media user speculated , with another guessing they “rented out an entire place to themselves.”

Others praised Swift’s stamina, with one fan gushing , “going on a date after a 3+ hour show?! and they say love is dead.”

Not only did Swift perform her usual set , but Kelce made a surprise appearance onstage .

The athlete took part in the skit for the “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” transition, carrying his girlfriend across the stage after she pretended to faint.

When Swift woke up — and debuted a new outfit — the “Catching Kelce” alum fanned himself.

Kelce was a staple at the “Cruel Summer” singer’s London shows, which kicked off Friday night with Travis and his brother, Jason Kelce, in the audience .

On Saturday, Travis made headlines for reacting to “Karma” lyrics about him , and he spent the third show sitting with his partner’s parents, Andrea and Scott Swift.

Taylor Swift Tube map unveiled to celebrate London Eras Tour

Transport for London releases a map featuring the singer’s album titles and song names to mark her concerts in the capital

A new London Underground map has been created to mark the arrival of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in London .

Transport For London (TfL) has reimagined the Tube map, with each line named after a different album and drawn in colours to match, while stations will be named after songs by the Shake It Off singer .

Precious stones have also been added to represent locations with connections to the pop megastar for fans to visit, including Hampstead Heath and Wembley Stadium.

However, fans have been warned to expect a busy journey to and from the concerts , with Chiltern Railways telling passengers to allow extra time to get to Wembley.

Swifties going to watch the star over the weekend face further difficulties, with the rail firm writing on social media: “We’re sorry we will not be stopping at Wembley Stadium for the Taylor Swift concerts on June 22 and 23. We’re carrying additional customers due to engineering works between Birmingham and London Euston so sadly can’t also support the concerts.”

Meanwhile, British Transport Police asked “London Swifties” if they were “ready for it”, a reference to the star’s song of the same name.

Swift is due to play eight shows in London as part of her tour, with the first three taking place on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

She is then set to return to the capital for five more nights in August.

In total, London will host more performances of the Eras Tour than any other city in the world, with nearly 700,000 people attending the shows.

It was revealed on Thursday that Swift’s fans were expected to boost the London economy by £300 million.

Emma Strain, TfL’s customer director, told the BBC that the Tube map “brings two icons together” and pays “homage to Swift’s love of London”.

She added: “London is blessed to have eight dates for the Eras Tour, and we’re encouraging people to get out on the transport network to explore the many locales namechecked in Swift’s songs and see the exciting range of live music events across the city this summer.”
