Taylor Swift's London shows were a hit with fans, and she made sure to end them with a bang. The Grammy-winning star, known for her surprises, did not disappoint in her final show at Wembley Stadium. The 34-year-old singer concluded her record-breaking Eras Tour with seven sold-out shows in London, and she had a few surprises up her sleeve for her loyal fans.
As a proper send-off, Taylor invited a special guest to join her on stage during her Tortured Poets Department set. Fans had been speculating about who it could be, and they were thrilled when Florence Welch of Florence & The Machine emerged from a lift below to perform their collaboration, "Florida!!!" This marked Florence's debut on the Eras Tour, and it was also the first time Taylor performed the song live. The two talented artists wore matching outfits and performed a beautifully choreographed duet that ended with an intimate moment between them.
After the song ended, the 92,000-strong crowd erupted into cheers for the extraordinary performance. Taylor then hugged Florence and praised her as a national treasure, showing her appreciation for their collaboration. Florence had previously talked about working with Taylor, describing her as sweet and down-to-earth. She also mentioned that Taylor approached her with a concept and a story for the song, which is her favorite way to start songwriting.
Florence was not the only surprise guest on Taylor's tour. She has also performed duets with Phoebe Bridgers, Gracie Abrams, and Ed Sheeran. In fact, her final London show featured another collaborator, Jack Antonoff, during her acoustic set. The two friends sang "Death By A Thousand Cuts" and "Getaway Car" together, much to the delight of the crowd. Taylor expressed her gratitude for their friendship and the opportunity to make music together.
As the show came to an end, Taylor sang "So Long, London" on the piano as a goodbye to the city. She also teased a surprise performance of a song she had never performed live before. And true to her style, she made another surprise reveal by announcing the release of a music video for "I Can Do It With A Broken Heart," which features behind-the-scenes footage from the tour.
Taylor now takes a well-deserved break from tour life before her last nine shows in Canada. Her London shows were a success, with many celebrity guests in attendance, including Sharon Osbourne, Emily Blunt, and John Krasinski. Taylor was also praised for her strength and resilience after facing challenges such as the foiled terrorist attack in Vienna and the tragic stabbings at a Taylor-themed dance class in Southport.
Despite these difficult times, Taylor remained focused on giving her fans the best show possible. She even invited one of the families affected by the Southport stabbings to her concert for a special meet and greet. Taylor has shown her love and support for her fans, and they have reciprocated with their unwavering support for her. As she takes a break from tour life, it's clear that Taylor will continue to surprise and delight her fans in the future. Have you seen her on the Eras Tour? Share your thoughts with us!
