Taylor Swift's Eras Tour Makes History with Sold-Out Shows in London
Swift's highly anticipated Eras Tour made its European debut at Wembley Stadium in London on June 21, 2024. The tour, which includes ten sections for her eleven albums and bespoke staging and outfits, has set a new standard for stadium shows.
The three-and-a-half hour concert began with a five-track trip through Lover and ended with thirteen tracks from Midnights and The Tortured Poets Department. Swift performed onstage continuously without taking long breaks, leaving fans enthusiastically singing along to even the most delicate tracks.
Swift's London shows were not only historic for her music career but also for her interactions with royalty. Prince William attended the first night of the tour and was seen dancing along to Swift's song 'Shake It Off.' The prince posed for a selfie with Swift, his children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, and shared it on his official Instagram account.
Swift also took a selfie with William, George, Charlotte, and her boyfriend Travis Kelce during the concert. She posted the photo on her own Instagram account along with a birthday message for William.
The royal family welcomed Swift to London in style. Buckingham Palace performed a rendition of 'Shake It Off' during the Changing of the Guard ceremony, and Swifties with an 'Eras Tour' ticket could get a 25% discount on a walk-up day ticket to London Zoo from June 21-30.
Swift is scheduled to play eight shows at Wembley Stadium as part of her two-year-long world tour. The opening night was star-studded, with Bridgerton actor Nicola Coughlan, Queer Eye's Jonathan Van Ness and model Cara Delevinge among those spotted in the crowd.
Swift's Eras Tour has been a massive success, breaking records and leaving fans in awe of her musical talent and stage presence. With more shows to come, it's clear that Swift is here to stay.
