So you're thinking about seeing the summer set? DO IT. It will seriously be the best decision you ever make! When you go to a summer set, get ready to dance to some amazing beats and lyrics, and enjoy the bands sense of humor.

This down to earth band from Scottsdale Arizona is made up of amazingly talented people. We have Brian Dales on vocals, Jess Bowen representing the ladies on the drums, John Gomez on not only guitar but also piano and backing vocals, Stephen Gomez on bass, and Joshua Montgomery on the guitar!! Their laid back pop punk vibe makes you want to dance, get revenge on your ex, or maybe make up with you ex depending on the song. They always have insane energy and awesome stage presence and will definitely keep you entertained and wanting more.

The summer set has played at a varying amount of venues, from small intimate shows like their last acoustic tour, to packing legendary places like the house of blues. They have a loyal fan base that grows more and more every day, and a dedicated street team behind them every step of the way. The summer set also started the half moon kids, which encourages everyone to always be brave, always be curious but most of all be legendary!

The Half Moon Kids is a community that shares the common thread of understanding that our dreams are not futile, they are our future, and that friendship is the key to unlocking those beautiful ideas locked away deep inside of us all.

All in all, if you have the opportunity to see the summer set live, take it and run with it. You won't regret it and will be craving for more!

Stemming from Scottsdale Arizona are 5 very musically talented individuals that formed The Summer Set. The first song that caught my attention was ‘Chelsea’ (a song named after the lead singer Brian’s girlfriend!) their first single and a crowd favourite that you cannot help but sing your heart out to.

They always play it live and the crowd always go crazy! They have come a long way over the last 5 years, from their first album ‘Love Like This’ to their newest album ‘Legendary’, and you guessed it, it really is Legen... wait for it, dary! And the album name really did come from How I Met Your Mother along with the title track.

‘Lightning in a Bottle’ is one of my favourite songs from the newest album, when it’s performed live, always with so much energy, it really comes alive. This song really makes you feel like your teenage self without a care in the world. They have so much energy with John dancing around on stage and Jess killing it on the drums. She may be the only girl in the band, but she rocks it just as hard as the other 4 guys.

Even if you go to a show knowing only a few of the songs, you will find yourself singing along to all of their catchy songs and humming them on the way home! They create amazing music but they do it for themselves and for their fans, they don’t try to fit any stereotype or genre, they are what they are and they are growing and changing with each album. And that honesty, along with the ability to make and perform great music, is what keeps us going back for more.

The summer set is such an amazing band! So much Energy live! All of thier songs are hits they sang a variety from each album and it was honestly one of the best nights

Pink UK Summer Carnival tour 2024: Dates, venues, tickets and support act

With a number of dates and venues, including Cardiff, London, Liverpool and Glasgow, Pink has picked the best stadiums as venues, songs and of course support acts to join her on this leg of the tour.

Taylor Swift Eras tour: UK setlist and everything you need to know

F orget the Euros, Glastonbury or Wimbledon. The hottest tickets in Britain this summer are for one show only: Taylor Swift’s Eras tour , which kicked off in Edinburgh last week, has now finished its run in Liverpool and will soon cover Cardiff and London in a sea of sequins, friendship bracelets and excitable Swifties.

What time do gates open? 

• Secret songs

How long is the concert?

Of course, actually getting tickets for the biggest tour in a generation – my colleague, Neil McCormick , wrote in his recent definitive review that the Eras tour is “worthy of six stars” and more akin to a religious ritual than a pop concert – is only half of the battle. You might have beaten the Ticketmaster queue and planned an outfit, but are you ready for a three-hour extravaganza packed with secret clues and rituals?

Eras tour UK dates

Swift is playing 12 more dates in the UK: the Eras tour arrived at Anfield Stadium on June 13, for the first of three shows; then, the 34-year-old will perform one night at Principality Stadium in Cardiff on Tuesday June 18, and three nights at London’s Wembley Stadium from Friday June 21 – before returning to the capital’s flagship stadium in August (15-20) for a mammoth five-night run. 

Here’s your one-stop shop for everything you need to know about the UK leg of the Eras tour – past, present and future – from timings, support acts and the 46-strong setlist to potential secret songs and special guests.

Fans with early entry should be able to enter Anfield, the Principality Stadium and Wembley from 3pm, with general ticket holders permitted from 4pm. 

Swift’s main performance will begin between 7pm and 7.20pm (with the primary support act, Paramore, taking to the stage around 6pm).

Which songs are on the setlist?

In order, the full setlist is as follows: 

From Lover:

• Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Prince
• Cruel Summer
• You Need to Calm Down

From Fearless:

• You Belong With Me
• We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together
• I Knew You Were Trouble
• All Too Well (10 minute version)

From Speak Now:

From Reputation:

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

From Folklore/Evermore:

• Champagne Problems
• Illicit Affairs
• My Tears Ricochet
• Blank Space
• Shake It Off
• Wildest Dreams

From The Tortured Poets Department:

• 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

From Midnights:

• Lavender Haze
• Midnight Rain
• Vigilante Shit

The majority of the Eras setlist hasn’t changed since Swift kicked off the tour in Arizona last March – it still opens with Lover and ends with Midnights, spanning 46 songs and 10 albums (her poor Debut still doesn’t get a look in). But the arrival of The Tortured Poets Department back in April resulted in a predictable switch-up, with certain songs taken off the setlist (The Archer, Long Live, The 1, The Last Great American Dynasty, ’Tis the Damn Season and Tolerate It) to make room for seven from the new album. 

Fans disappointed at the changes can always hold out hope that one will appear as a secret song during the acoustic set – which immediately follows The Tortured Poets Department’s section.

The secret songs played so far – and what could be next

The secret song (or acoustic) section of the show is easily the most anticipated by fans. Every night is different – although Swift has abandoned her rule from the US leg that secret songs can only be played once, unless a mistake was made – with Swift having 11 albums of material to choose from. 

Swift has swapped performing two full secret songs for ‘mashups’ including, usually, two or three tracks. Here is the full list of secret songs from each UK show so far, and which could be next.

Edinburgh night one:

• Would’ve Could’ve, Should’ve/I Know Places 
• ‘Tis the Damn Season/Daylight

Edinburgh night two:

• The Bolter/Getaway Car
• All of the Girls You’ve Loved Before/Crazier

Edinburgh night three:

• It’s Nice to Have a Friend/Dorothea
• Haunted/Exile

Liverpool night one:

• I Can See You/Mine
• Cornelia Street/Maroon

Liverpool night two: 

• This Is What You Came For/Gold Rush
• The Great War/You’re Losing Me

Liverpool night three:

• Carolina/No Body, No Crime

The Manuscript/Red

Our predictions:

Cardiff: Swift doesn’t have any songs directly associated with the Welsh capital, but the imagery of her Speak Now album – all dragons, princesses and knights in shining armour – lends itself perfectly to the legend of St David. Could she whip out Sparks Fly, The Story of Us, or fan favourite Long Live (which she removed from the European and UK leg of the tour, after playing it in the US?).

London: Novices will immediately suggest London Boy, from Lover, as the perfect choice – and of course it is, but it’s still highly unlikely that Swift will opt to sing an ode to her ex-boyfriend (Joe Alwyn) in his home city. More likely are Come Back, Be Here (where she sings of being torn apart by distance, with her lover in the English capital while she’s in NYC), The Black Dog (inspired by the Vauxhall pub) or So Long, London (in which she acknowledges that her break-up from Alwyn means a chapter of her life, spent living and falling in love with the city, has come to a close). 

Fans were left disappointed she didn’t announce Reputation (Taylor’s Version) on night one at Anfield – the 100th show – but all signs now point to her doing so on the first night at Wembley. After all, she wrote the album as an ode to Joe Alwyn, her very own London Boy, and the city provided safe haven from the glare of the US paparazzi during her spat with Kanye West and Kim Kardashian.

Taylor Swift’s set lasts for three hours and 15 minutes: up there with career-spanning performances from Bruce Springsteen, Paul McCartney and The Cure. 

The main show begins with the appearance of a ticking clock on stage, which counts down from a total of two minutes while songs from Lady Gaga (Applause) and Lesley Gore (You Don’t Own Me) play in the background. 

Once the countdown reaches zero, dancers brandishing ginormous, pastel-hued flags walk out on stage to a backing track listing her various albums (the crowd’s biggest scream being reserved for when it says “My name is Taylor, and I was born in 1989!”). Then, the fabric flags fall to the floor, lifts and reveals Swift beneath, in the centre, ready to be hoisted up on a rising stage block to sing a short version of opener Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Prince (from Lover) before going straight into her biggest streaming hit, Cruel Summer.

Swift takes no substantial breaks during the three-hour plus set – aside from various outfit or stage changes in between Eras – but there are fleeting moments you can rest, including after the Speak Now section (which is a mere single song, Enchanted) which has a slightly longer interval before Swift begins to perform songs from Red. Don’t forget, either, to put on the special wristband you’re handed on entry – it flashes different colours throughout the set and can often signal surprise songs or special moments.

Prepare your friendship bracelets

Whether you’re a bona fide Swiftie or the parent or guardian of one, I guarantee you will have heard of friendship bracelets. Inspired by a lyric from Midnights’ You’re On Your Own, Kid (“So make the friendship bracelets / Take the moment and taste it”), Swift’s fans wear armfuls of homemade, largely plastic bracelets featuring beads that spell out song names or inside jokes. 

Then, once at the show, the fans “trade” bracelets with each other to make new friends. The internet is full of tutorials on how to make them, but if your show is drawing closer and you’re yet to make any, Amazon Prime is your best bet.

What to pack?

Despite what Gen Zs on TikTok may suggest, the Eras tour is just a concert. Thus, it doesn’t necessitate buying fancy new cameras, iPhones, earplugs or battery packs – but you would be wise to pack a jumper (it gets cold – and the ones for sale on the official merchandise will set you back around £60); those friendship bracelets, as well, of course, as your ticket. 

The tour is completely sold-out for all dates, but it is worth keeping an eye on your emails as Ticketmaster are reportedly sending out last-minute purchase codes ahead of each date. 

What to wear?

Sequins, glitter, cowboy hats – anything goes, as long as you go for it. Find the link to our all-ages guide on what to wear to Swift’s Era’s tour below. 

What to wear to the Eras tour

Learn the fan lyrics 

If you’re lucky enough to have tickets to the Eras tour, learning 11 albums worth of songs – plus the Vault tracks from her ‘Taylor’s Version’ rerecords – might seem like an impossible task. Unluckily, it’s not just Swift’s 274 official singles (46 of which make up the setlist) that you need to know, because the crowd adds special lines to multiple songs. 

During Delicate, from Reputation, fans yell the chant “One, two, three, let’s go b—h!” after she sings “We can’t make any promises, now can we, babe?” Chart-topping revenge anthem Bad Blood, meanwhile, taken from 2014’s 1989, sees fans screech the end of the line “You forgive / You forget / But you never let it go”. Swift’s knowing winks during the songs indicate she knows exactly what the crowd is gearing up for.

Who are the support acts?

US pop-rock band Paramore are the primary support act for all UK Eras shows, and typically begin their 45-minute set at 6pm. Extra support acts have also been announced for the first three shows at Wembley Stadium: Mette (June 21), Griff (June 22) and Benson Boone (June 23). 

A guide to the Eras support acts

Standout moments so far – concert by concert

The Eras tour is a tightly-run ship revolving around immaculate choreography, a watertight setlist and a performer renowned for her professionalism, but that doesn’t mean every single night is the same. The weather can be temperamental, Swift could bring out a special guest, or you might just spot your favourite A-lister lurking within the crowd (or, more likely, the coveted VIP tent in front of the sound desk). And of course, there’s the secret song section, for which we’ve dedicated a separate section below this one.

Edinburgh: Night One

Fans present at the opening show in Edinburgh were quick to record the moment Swift had to take a break from performing Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve on acoustic guitar – as part of the secret songs set – because of a pesky hand-cramp. As Swift put it: “My hand has frozen in a weird way. This has never happened before!” 

Videos of her shivering on stage suggest the reliably-volatile Scottish weather was to blame. Another highlight came courtesy of her backing dancer Kam, recently in the news for his decision to buy a kilt (after worrying it was cultural appropriation), who contributes a city-specific line to We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together – Edinburgh’s first one being “Ya wee raj”. Think of it as Taylor does Trainspotting.

Edinburgh: Night Two

Proving that the secret song section is truly what gets the crowd (and internet) talking, Swift’s decision to perform Crazier, a track taken from 2009’s Hannah Montana: The Movie – that she has never played live before – had Swifties around the globe hyperventilating, not least because its inclusion suggested it will appear on the rerecording of her debut album.

Elsewhere, fans of Amazon Prime Video’s hit Outlander would have been wise to peer towards the VIP tent, where the show’s cast – including Sam Heughan – were busy dancing the night away.

Edinburgh: Night Three

Scottish singer Nina Nesbitt, who watched the third show from the VIP tent, shared a moving message on Instagram about her long-term love for Swift. The 29-year-old, who hails from West Lothian, wrote: “It was so special to hear the songs that made me want to pick up a guitar back in the place I’m from”. 

Swift’s influence was also keenly felt during her surprise performance of Exile, in which the crowd – all 73,000 of them – dutifully sang Bon Iver’s parts of the song; you can see her joy in videos from the performance in which she’s grinning, in disbelief, that this many people know her music this inside-out.

Liverpool: Night One

You’ll be surprised to learn that Liverpool’s biggest Swiftie is not, in fact, a random teenage girl singing along to Fearless in her bedroom. Jurgen Klopp, the former Reds manager, who has spoken of his love for Swift’s music before, showed up on the first night at Anfield (wearing pink heart-shaped sunglasses, no less) to show his support. Elsewhere, Swift performed I Can See You, a Vault track from Speak Now (Taylor’s Version), as the first secret song - fitting given it was filmed in the city last year. No appearance from Sir Paul McCartney - also an avid Swiftie - but there’s two nights left…

Swift used her 100th Eras Tour show to confirm that the tour will end this year, ending speculation that more dates would be added. “The celebration of the 100th show for me means this is the very first time I’ve acknowledged to myself and admitted that this tour is going to end in December. Like, that’s it,” she told the rain-sodden crowd at Anfield. “I think that this tour has really become my entire life,” she said during her intro to All Too Wel. “It’s taken over everything. I think I once had hobbies, but I don’t know what they were anymore.

“All I do when I’m not on stage is sit at home and try to think of clever acoustic song mash-ups and think about what you might want to hear.”

Liverpool: Night Two

Stood just a few heads back from where Swift was seated for the surprise songs set, nothing could have prepared me for the first track: This Is What You Came For, the 2016 hit originally performed by Calvin Harris and Rihanna - that Swift wrote. It will surely be on Reputation (Taylor’s Version); Harris, Swift’s superstar DJ ex-boyfriend, clearly couldn’t be bothered to deal with the social media attention, because he deleted his account on X after this performance. I’ve seen Swift on multiple tours, in wildly different stages of her career, but seeing her on Eras – so confident and self-assured – is a privilege. 

British rising star Griff, who will open for Swift on the second night at Wembley, was also present - warning that “if I don’t have a voice next week at Wembley it’s because I lost it at Eras a week early.” 

Liverpool: Night Three

A highlight of the Red set is always We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together, when Swift’s dancer Kem tries out his best local slang. The third night in Scouseland saw him listen to the TikTok advice and yell “Jog on lad,” much to the delight of the crowd. The Red trend continued through to the surprise songs, when Swift performed the title track from that album – an ode to love, but for one night only, Liverpool FC. Or, of course, the Kansas City Chiefs.

A special mention goes to the Swifties who dedicated a selection of friendship bracelets to victims of the Hillsborough disaster.

Potential special guests

Swift has brought a number of famous guests on stage to sing with her throughout the Eras tour – typically artists with feature credits on her songs. The National’s Aaron Dessner, who produced much of her lockdown albums Folklore and Evermore, appeared in Santa Clara, California, to perform melodic break-up ballad Right Where You Left Me. The National are in Europe throughout the summer for their own gigs and festival performances – including a Sunday night headline slot on the Other Stage at Glastonbury – so he could make a surprise appearance again. 

Then there’s sister-indie trio HAIM, who are personal close friends with Swift and featured on No Body, No Crime. Pictures of them out for a meal in London with Swift (and other famous faces, including Kate Moss, Lena Dunham and Andrew Scott) suggest they could make an appearance.

Other potential secret guests range from Lana Del Rey (who sang on Snow on the Beach, and is in the UK in August for Reading and Leeds festivals), Ed Sheeran (Everything Has Changed), Jack Antonoff (Getaway Car and more) and Zayn Malik (I Don’t Wanna Live Forever).

The secrets to look out for – and what they all mean

Ask any Taylor Swift fan what the secret to her colossal success is, and you might be surprised by their answer. Her emotionally vulnerable lyrics and 11 chart-topping studio albums come into play, of course, but it’s her Easter eggs – the secret clues she hides in her songs – that have established her as an unprecedented force in the music industry. And she’s done the same with the Eras concert, filling it with clues, tips and tricks hidden behind certain stages, lyrics or costumes that throw light on her life, her passions and her songs. Here we interpret it all for you. 

The show opens with Lover – to mark Taylor’s creative rebirth …

Released in 2019, Swift’s seventh studio album was meant to get the full bells and whistles treatment: chart-topping singles (Me!, You Need to Calm Down, Lover and The Man) and a sold-out tour (“Lover Fest” was supposed to be a worldwide phenomenon, that included a show at London’s BST Hyde Park). Lover was also intended to mark a creative rebirth for Swift, whose popularity had waned following public spats with Kanye West and Kim Kardashian (that resulted in 2017’s Reputation). 

Instead, Covid arrived, the tour was cancelled, and some of the singles flopped (although the album did feature Cruel Summer, surprisingly now her biggest, most-streamed hit). Swift had multiple reasons to open the Eras tour with the Lover section, and track Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Prince. The album was her first record to be entirely hers – following her legal battle with former record label Big Red Machine, that has seen her rerecord much of her back catalogue – and it never got its glory days because of the pandemic, so she seems to be picking up where she left off. 

Some fans have even construed the choice to be aimed at former boyfriend Joe Alwyn, who she reportedly broke up with in March 2023 (the same month the Eras tour kicked off in the US), with Swift the all-American golden girl and he, the brooding British actor, the prince who wound up breaking her heart.

… Then the house burns down

For much of the Lover section, Swift performs on stage in front of a huge glass house with rooms nodding at previous music videos or Eras. As the titular track ends and she prepares to move into the Fearless era, the house bursts into fake flames and looks like it is burning down on stage. Could it symbolise the breakdown of her relationship with Alwyn, an end to her romantic side, or a potential hiatus post-Eras tour?

The Fearless dance

Nostalgia forms the heart of the Eras tour. Over two decades, Swift has released 11 studio albums packed with hits – from Love Story to We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together – and made billions of dollars from her music. The tour itself is a celebration of this (as Swift announces at the beginning: “We are about to go on a little adventure together”), as well as her old and new fans. The second part of the show is dedicated to 2008’s country gem Fearless – which won her first Grammy for Album of the Year – and features multiple nods to her younger years and earlier performances, including the jump and spin dance and heart sign she makes with her hands during the title song.

The meaningful outfits 

Colours are important in Taylor Swift’s World, because each album is colour-coded (gold for Fearless, purple for Speak Now, black for Reputation, etc). Those signifiers form the heart of many fans’ chosen outfits for the tour, but also Swift’s own style choices on stage. When she announced 1989 (Taylor’s Version) in Los Angeles on August 9, she swapped her usual outfits for blue variants (1989’s colour) throughout the show. The show’s newest Era, dedicated to 11th album The Tortured Poets Department, sees her wear a toned-down spin on a circus ringmaster outfit for I Can Do It With a Broken Heart (a knowing nod to her 2012 MTV Europe Music Awards outfit) – a song about powering through heartbreak to dazzle fans and critics – while the logo on the t-shirt she wears during 22 (from Red) changes depending on the show.

One particular outfit to keep an eye on is the black and red, snake-emblazoned sequin catsuit she wears during the Reputation era – because it’s the only outfit that hasn’t changed since the beginning of the tour. 

I Can Do It With a Broken Heart – and the Reputation glass boxes

ICDIWABH, mentioned above, is a defiant, gloriously poppy middle finger-up to anyone who thought Swift would buckle under the pressure of heartbreak and fame. “They said, “Babe, you gotta fake it ‘til you make it” and I did,” she sings. “Lights, camera, bitch smile, even when you wanna die”. The staging itself involves a motionless Swift, lying on the ground after performing The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived, being picked up by two grinning circus masters, who strip her dress and replace it with the ringmaster outfit. After flopping and falling around like a ragdoll, Swift suddenly jerks to life and bursts into song – a true professional, at whatever personal cost.

During the Reputation section, meanwhile, and in particular Look What You Made Me Do, Swift performs in front of a collection of glass boxes containing dancers dressed in similar costumes to ones worn throughout her career. The song itself, which was originally aimed at West and Kardashian, is Swift’s way of standing up for herself in front of an industry who expected her to be the meek, good-girl country star, instead of a powerful woman. Taken together, the imagery of both songs (ICDIWABH and LWYMMD) supports this – Swift seeing herself as someone who hasn’t been allowed to grow up, whose entire adolescence (and now, adulthood) was catered to pleasing the public.

Taken from her fourth studio album, 2012’s Red, 22 marked a musical switch for Swift from country to pure pop. During her performance of the song at the Eras tour, she storms down the long stage with her crew of backing dancers to reach one lucky fan at the other end, who is handed the black (personally signed) trilby she wears during the performance (and wore in the original video). 

Fans looking to secure the hat would be best to direct their attention to the Taylor Nation social media accounts – allegedly run by a combination of 13 Management, her mother Andrea and father Scott – who personally choose the recipient. One such lucky fan was the late basketball player’s Kobe Bryant’s young daughter, Bianka, who was handed the hat (and embraced) by Swift in Los Angeles.

The Folklore house

Between the pop-tastic anthems of Red and 1989, Swift brings down the tempo for the Folklore section (twinned with Evermore on the European leg). The album, which she wrote and released during the pandemic, was a critical darling; co-written with and produced by The National’s Aaron Dessner, it marked a switch from pop to a more indie, mature sound. During the set, she performs songs from Folklore and Evermore from atop a grassy woodland cabin (inspired by her 2021 Grammy performance) that is also home to the moss-covered piano where she sits and performs Champagne Problems.

So High School’s ode to Travis Kelce

When Swift began the Eras tour, she was newly single and heartbroken, tearing up on stage while performing for songs she had written in honour of former beau Joe Alwyn. Since then, she’s released The Tortured Poets Department, another break-up album widely interpreted to be about Matty Healy, the 1975 frontman who she dated afterwards. 

But her current boyfriend, the NFL star Travis Kelce, has no reason to fear, because he gets his love story during So High School. Swift only sings part of the song, which is about her falling head over heels for this teenage-kind of love (and includes the line “You know how to ball / I know Aristotle”), but the accompanying dance is the clearest nod to Kelce. She and her backing dancers sit atop makeshift bleachers and “swag surf” – a waving motion typically used at US sporting events, that she was seen doing during a Kansas City Chiefs game earlier this year.

The Bejeweled TikTok dance

It’s easy to attribute the unprecedented success of the Eras tour to the rise of TikTok. The day after the tour began in Arizona in March 2023, I had seen it in its entirety – from my bedroom in London – thanks to people live-streaming from the concert, or uploading multiple videos. Since then, of course, there has been the blockbuster concert film, but the video sharing platform offered the first opportunity for international fans (or those who couldn’t afford tickets) to see the show. 

TikTok even provided Swift with a free choreographer. New Jersey-based creator Mikael Arellano went viral in 2022 with his dance to Bejeweled, the ninth track from Midnights, where he shimmies and shakes his hands and body to the chorus. It racked up billions of views and sure enough, when the Eras tour opened, Swift and her dancers did the same dance. As a way of saying thank you, Arellano was even called up to accept the much-fêted 22 hat in May 2023.

Taylor Swift leaves fans upset with latest Eras Tour announcement

Taylor Swift announced that her Eras Tour will end in December

• by Web Desk
• June 14, 2024

Taylor Swift has made a shocking announcement about Eras Tour after her successful 100th show in Liverpool.

The Cruel Summer hitmaker announced after performing All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor's Version) that her Eras Tour will officially conclude in December.

Her latest update about the tour made Swifties, Taylor’s fans, upset.

Taylor expressed gratitude to her fans and shared that the opportunity she was given doesn't feel “real” to her.

She further added, "Absolutely, that blows my mind. That doesn't feel like a real statistic to me because this has definitely been exhausting, all-encompassing, but the most joyful, most rewarding, most wonderful thing that has ever happened in my life, this tour."

While celebrating the 100th show, Taylor “acknowledged” how far she came in this musical journey.

The You Belong With Me crooner explained, "The celebration of the 100th show for me means this is the very first time I've ever acknowledged to myself, and admitted that this tour is going to end in December.”

“Like, that's it. And that feels so far away from now, but then again, it feels like we just played our first show on this tour because you have made this so much fun for us," she noted.

After she announced the sad news about Eras Tour, her fans got upset and started flooding social media to express their emotions.

Pearl Jam fans have been left upset after paying for tickets to see the band - only for the price to be cut in half less than two weeks before the show. 

The '90s grunge group will stop off at Tottenham Hotspur's ground as part of their Dark Matter World Tour on 29 June. 

When the tickets first went on sale, seated tickets reportedly started at an eyewatering £125, but in recent weeks these have been reduced to £49.20. 

LiveNation adverts have been appearing on social media encouraging fans to get tickets now they have been cut in price. 

For those who weren't willing to splash out to see the group, the more than 50% price cut will be welcome news. 

But for those who did, the move has been seen as "unfair". 

Some took to the comments of a LiveNation Facebook post to vent their frustrations. 

"Happy to see this show being poorly attended given the ridiculous prices that were being charged," one user said. 

"Pricing has come back to bite you big time on this disaster," added another. 

One asked if LiveNation was going to refund the difference to "all the mugs" who bought tickets at full price. 

Another person was upset because they were no longer able to make the gig, and were having their sell their tickets at a loss. 

"The most unfair move from Ticketmaster- especially for people like me who bought them full price and cannot go any more," Gianluca Rossato said. 

"Now I will need to sell the tickets at a huge loss. Very nice move, Ticketmaster United Kingdom! Customer-centric as usual." 

Sky News has contacted LiveNation and Ticketmaster for comment. 

By Daniel Binns, business reporter

The stock market in London has crept up slightly this morning as investors wait for tomorrow's inflation data - followed by Thursday's interest rate decision by the Bank of England.

The figures will be the last major economic indicators to be released ahead of July's general election.

Commentators expect inflation to fall to the Bank's target of 2% on Wednesday, according to a poll of economists by Reuters.

While an interest rate cut is not expected this week, the forecast drop in inflation will help pave the way for a rate cut in August, experts say.

Fiona Cincotta, a senior market analyst at City Index, said investors were keenly waiting for tomorrow's data - but said there was a "sense of optimism".

Overall, the FTSE 100 is up almost 0.4% this morning, while the FTSE 250 has increased by just over 0.5%.

Among the top gainers is Whitbread, which owns brands such as Premier Inn. The hospitality firm is up nearly 4% after reporting its results for the first quarter.

Whitbread said sales rose 1% to £739m and that its performance was in line with expectations.

At the other end of the scale, industrial equipment rental company Ashtead Group has slipped nearly 4% after the firm downgraded its growth forecast.

On the currency markets, £1 buys $1.27 US or €1.18, similar to Monday.

The cost of oil is up this morning, with a barrel of Brent Crude priced at almost $84 (£66).

Just 18% of companies in the UK are led by women, and while data suggests female entrepreneurs are on the rise, men still receive more funding and are entrusted with higher average loans to get them started.

In an eight-part series every Tuesday, Money blog reporter Jess Sharp speaks to women who are bossing it in their respective fields - hearing their stories, struggles and advice for those who want to follow in their footsteps.

This week, she has spoken to Teresa Payne, the managing partner of law firm Parfitt Cresswell...

Teresa Payne's route to success was far from traditional.

Now the owner of the successful Parfitt and Cresswell, with offices in London, Berkshire, Surrey, Sussex and Kent, Teresa's journey started in a small mining town in south Wales.

Growing up in a working class family, she left school at 16 with no qualifications, and "low expectations" for her future. 

A few years later, in 1987, while in her early 20s, she gave birth to her son and got married.

It wasn't until around six years later that she got the idea to train as a lawyer - an idea that came from her own divorce. 

"It was because of the really poor experience with my solicitor that I started looking into how I could do it myself and that triggered my interest in law", the 57-year-old said.

'The life-changing moment'

But, obviously, she faced the "big barrier" of having no qualifications.

For her, the answer came in 1996 when she found an access to law course.

"That was a real life change because it opened up the door of possibilities for me," she said. 

"When you leave school without any qualifications, and come from a more working class background, it's very hard to be what you can't see," she added. 

Eventually, she made it to Cardiff University, her young son in tow, and "pushed through" as a mature student. It was here she came up against another challenge...

'You'd be better in hospitality'

After getting her degree, she was required to take another course - called the Legal Practice Course, and she sought help from her male tutor, who told her she was too old to take the next step. 

Recalling the conversation, Teresa said she was told: "You're a mature student, you're older, you're a single mum and you haven't got much chance.

"Instead, he suggested that hospitality would be a good alternative and I would do well there. 

"He said it in such a caring way. Now we would call it unconscious bias," she said. 

Undefeated and determined to stay on the path she wanted, Teresa eventually qualified as a lawyer in 2004. 

Three years later, she had her own firm. 

'There was a major panic'

"I really wanted to do my own thing, sort of create my own world," she said as she retold the story of how she came across Parfitt Cresswell in Fulham Broadway, discovered the managing partner was retiring and offered to buy the business from him.

She didn't have a lot of money saved, so she borrowed from a "couple of lenders". 

"At the time, it was such a big deal because you are borrowing a substantial amount of money in a personal capacity. It became very tricky in the major economic downturn of 2008," she said. 

"There was this major panic of 'oh my goodness, what have I done'. When I look back, though, I'm glad I did it."

When the financial crash hit, Parfitt Cresswell was more than 50% property focused and work "dried out practically overnight", she said. 

"It made me realise that actually work diversity was so important," Teresa said, adding that she eventually expanded the company's family law sector, and introduced private client work. 

The challenges

One of the first challenges, in the early days of her career, was childcare, but Teresa said she was very lucky to have supportive and helpful parents.

"It is a tough balance, particularly when you're running your own business because it's not 9am to 5pm," she said.

"For me, I would try to carve out time for us to have together. When I just couldn't do that, my parents were there, so he has a tremendous relationship with them." 

Without support, she said childcare can be "prohibitive" for anyone working or studying. 

In the later stages of her career, dealing with conflict became another obstacle. 

She said "societal expectations" left women with a natural reaction to just "keep the peace" when an argument occurs, but that isn't an option in business.  

"I learnt early on that doesn't work, because it flares up and then there is a tendency to let our emotions get in the way," she said. 

'We are worthy to be there' - Teresa's top tips 

One of Teresa's top tips is to deal with any issues that come up head on and figuring out a way to move on. 

"In some cases it is difficult to get past it, but in others you can and then you have actually set the bar for what is acceptable," she said. 

"We teach people how to treat us. So when you walk in a room, bring your presence, expect people to treat you well and don't apologise for being there as if you are not worthy. 

"We are worthy to be there, you've got to own that spot." 

Practically, she said women who want to get into law should start by getting some work experience. 

For those studying, she advised doing some pro bono work, saying she volunteered for Citizens Advice. 

Not only does it look good to employers in terms of soft skills and understanding the business, but it helps people to work out if it is actually a profession they will enjoy. 

Getting a mentor is also helpful, Teresa added - a "huge asset". 

Despite some preconceptions about lawyers, Teresa stressed that a person's background doesn't matter- as long as they "bring something to the table". 

"You may hit a wall in some places, there are many places that will welcome you. There will be people who want to help you get in and get qualified." 

London has overtaken Paris to become the continent's largest stock exchange. 

It follows Emmanuel Macron's decision to call a snap election, which has resulted in turmoil in French markets. 

The Cac 40 stock index in Paris hit record highs just a month ago - but the election announcement sent it plummeting to its worst week since 2002. 

Shares of banks including BNP Paribas and Credit Agricole fell by more than 10% each, while the French government's borrowing costs soared. 

Stocks in France are now collectively worth $3.13tn (£2.47tn), falling behind the UK's markets at $3.18tn (£2.51tn), according to Bloomberg data. 

The FTSE 100 hit record highs this year thanks to relatively cheap valuations attracting investors, as well as new stock market listings such as Raspberry Pi. 

This all sounds really positive for London - but as business presenter Ian King wrote in April , there are clouds hanging over the FTSE too...

Tens of thousands of Lifetime ISA (LISA) account holders have faced penalties for making "unauthorised" withdrawals, according to a report.

A freedom of information request by mortgage lender MPowered Mortgages reveals that 185,400 savers were fined for withdrawing money from the accounts between 2018-19 and 2022-23.

The proportion of accounts being penalised rose from 2.6% to 7% over the same period, the figures show.

People with LISAs can deposit up to £4,000 each year, with the government adding a 25% bonus on top.

But the rules state that withdrawals can only be made when a person is buying their first home priced up to £450,000, has reached the age of 60 or is terminally ill with less than a year to live. Account holders are hit with a withdrawal charge for taking money out for any other reason.

MPowered claims that an increase in penalties is being fuelled by rising house prices - it says more and more people are buying homes that breach the £450,000 limit.

Stuart Cheetham, chief executive of MPowered Mortgages, said savers are being "unfairly penalised" by LISA rules.

He said the property value cap remaining unchanged since LISA rules were written means "the accounts are increasingly unfit for purpose".

The average cost of a home in Britain remains near record levels after dipping by just £21 this month, according to an index.

Rightmove said the average asking price of a home coming onto the market in June was £375,110 - down just a fraction compared with the record £375,131 seen in May.

The property website said the number of sales agreed and volume of buyer inquiries to agents remained steady.

But it said there could be some "possible election caution" among those thinking about moving, particularly people with higher-priced homes.

Rightmove is just one measurer of house prices and tends to come in higher - official data from the ONS lags by several months.

Staying on the subject of housing... a new study by Hamptons has revealed that renting is still cheaper than buying for most households across Britain.

Its latest research found that would-be-buyers with a 5% deposit face paying £300 a month more in mortgage repayments on average than if they carried on renting.

Hamptons said high mortgage rates had "squeezed buyers with small deposits out of the market, forcing more households to rent for longer".

Fuel retailers have been accused of using the "distraction" of the general election to keep petrol and diesel prices "persistently high".

The RAC said the cost of filling up at the pumps was "far higher" than would normally be expected as wholesale costs had fallen since the end of April.

The average price of a litre of petrol across the UK is currently 146.3p, which is "5p more expensive than it should be", according to the motoring firm.

It said the average price for the same product was 141.1p in Northern Ireland.

An extra 250,000 children will be hit by the two-child benefit cap next year, rising to an extra half a million by 2029, a leading thinktank has warned.

The Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) said the number of children who will fall under the cap - which limits child benefits for the first two children in most households - will reach 670,000 by the end of the next parliament if the policy is not reformed.

The two-child benefit cap, which restricts Child Tax Credit and Universal Credit to the first two children, was brought in by the Conservative government in 2017.

Campaigners have long called for it to be abolished on the grounds it would lift thousands of children out of poverty.

Labour has said it can't commit to removing the cap if it forms the next government due to fiscal constraints.

Shein has put up prices by more than a third on some products, in a move deemed likely to boost revenues ahead of its planned IPO (initial public offering).

Analysis by research firm EDITED claims the fast fashion giant's price rises were higher than rival brands H&M and Zara over the past year.

Based in Singapore, Shein has become one of the world's largest online fashion retailers, although its growth has not been untroubled amid mounting concerns about labour standards.

Its online marketplace sells a huge array of items, though its main business is through making and selling its own brand products - mainly women's clothing.

Earlier this month, Sky News' city editor Mark Kleinman exclusively revealed how the company was on the verge of taking a huge stride towards a London flotation that would value it at about £50bn.

The timing of the filing did not necessarily indicate when an IPO would take place, although some observers believe a summer or early autumn stock market debut in London remains on the cards.

An initial public offering is when shares of a private company are made available to the public for the first time. It allows a company to raise equity capital from public investors.

Shein has been contacted for comment.

Fewer temporary summer jobs are being posted this year, according to data from the Recruitment and Employment Confederation. 

Job postings for summer work in the hotel, restaurant, tourism and construction sectors fell sharply in April and May compared with the same months last year. 

The total number of job listings across the economy fell by 0.7% last month to 1.7 million and new job listings fell by 1.1% between April and May. 

A lobby group says the fall in postings is due to a rise in the minimum wage which is putting pressure on employers. 

The minimum wage rose by 9.8% in April to £11.44 per hour. 

Make UK, which lobbies for manufacturing companies, said a second big increase in the minimum wage has affecting hiring in key sectors. 

"We can see some evidence of that drag in the lower summer seasonal hiring demand," he told The Times .

"Reducing hours or roles while opening for shorter periods are all decisions that firms may feel forced to make in tough times."

It's 9pm on a Tuesday and a stranger from Shanghai is cooking in my kitchen. I can't speak Chinese, and she can't speak much English, so we both had to mime when she asked me where I kept the knives and the salt.

I hadn't met this woman until 24 hours earlier, but she is staying in my home for another four days - and it's all thanks to an advert on the London Underground.

"Turn your spare room into cash using Airbnb!" it promised. Well, I am lucky enough to have a spare room, and I never seem to have enough cash (thanks to a litany of rising bills and wanting the occasional holiday), so could this be the answer?

I forced my husband to spend a weekend clearing out our top floor room and soon I was photographing away, artfully framing different corners of the space to try and show it off (not helped by my cat, who refused to get out of the way). 

After downloading the app and signing up, I was paired with an Airbnb Superhost who gave tips and offered support as I made my way to my first booking. He advised that instead of offering an introductory discount, as the app encouraged, the best way to drum up business was to look up the price of local listings and then undercut them. Once I had built up a few reviews (I was aiming for five stars) I could then raise my prices.

My neighbours were listed between £40-55 a night, so I hedged my bets and started at £35, with a £10 cleaning fee. Within 24 hours, I had my first booking. A young borderforce agent was doing training at Heathrow and needed a place to stay. We gave him a set of keys, told him to make himself at home and five days later, we were £117 better off. 

After several months of hosting (and - not bragging - ten five-star reviews) we are now almost solidly booked at any given time. 

Tips for smooth sailing welcoming strangers

I have a pretty good weirdo-radar, and when it comes to letting people inside your front door, it pays to trust your gut - I have declined bookings simply because I got bad vibes. 

The guy who wanted to rent my room from 9am to 3pm to "meet a friend from London"? Nope. 

The man who wanted to stay for three months? Not for me. 

A young gentleman who promised to pay me cash on arrival? Thanks but no thanks. 

(You'll notice a common theme with these - as I often work from home alone during the day, I'm not taking any chances).

Touch wood, everyone who has arrived has been friendly, polite and, most importantly, not smeared faeces on the walls, tried to remove the sink, or done any other Airbnb horror story. 

How to get good ratings

Did I mention we have five stars? I don't think there is any real secret to getting a good rating, but I tried to think what I would want checking into someone's home. Make sure you have high-quality photos that match what the room is actually like; don't go crazy with the filters. 

We always make sure the place is clean, well presented and clutter-free. Small, thoughtful touches like a TV with a Sky box, a box of toiletries, and a coffee machine also go a long way. 

I am also very upfront about the fact we have pets - the last thing I want is someone with allergies to book (and give me two stars!), so Louie sits front and centre of the listing. 

The pitfalls to avoid

After the success of Airbnb, I decided to go one step further and list our room on Booking.com. Their management platform is clunky, difficult to use and you can't vet people who book - they just instantly book and that's it, you're stuck with them. It's also a bit of a faff double-checking both platforms to make sure you aren't accidentally double booking. But it does generate significantly more bookings for us than Airbnb. 

As boring as it is, you also need to consider the tax implications. The good news is Airbnb isn't taxed like Vinted or eBay (which has a £1,000 tax-free allowance). 

If you rent a furnished room in your primary residence (ie not a second home) you can claim Rent-a-Room relief . The threshold for this is £7,500 per year (or half that if you share the income with your partner). The tax exemption is automatic, which means if you're below that you don't need to do anything - but if you're earning above that, you'll need to fill out a tax return. Given we are earning around £350 a month from our room, we will fall way below this. 

I convinced my mum to list her guest room on the platform, and she has also had decent success (excusing the girls who threw up in her bin during Cheltenham race week and the woman who knocked a star off because she forgot to put a hand towel in the bathroom). I then talked my brother's girlfriend into giving it a go.

I did, however, make one fairly significant error: I forgot to get them to sign up using my host referral code. You can earn up to £268 for every host you refer, which means I lost out on a fairly significant chunk of change. I then forgot to refer them again when they moved to Booking.com so missed out on hundreds in commission-free bookings under their scheme. I try not to think about that too much…

Overall, I have loved using Airbnb - in just over two months we've converted our spare room into more than £700. And while I would like to live in a world where we could afford our daily outgoings without flogging our spare room like a cheap roadside motel, we are where we are. 

If you have the room, a good radar for vetting people, and are open to intrusion on your personal space, it could be right for you too. 

Just hit me up for a referral code first. (Note to editor: Only joking).
