Taylor pays tribute to Wembley fans after ‘surreal’ run of shows

Taylor Swift has paid tribute to her London fans at Wembley Stadium who made up some of the ‘loudest crowds’ she’d ever heard, gushing that she is ‘never going to forget’ the shows.

The songstress has just completed her first round of Eras Tour shows in the capital, selling out the UK’s largest venue and playing to 89,000 people for three nights in a row on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

From some of the biggest names in Britain attending, to guest duets with Hayley Williams and Gracie Abrams, to Taylor’s NFL beau Travis Kelce even making a surprise appearance onstage, the three-night musical marathon has been nothing short of show-stopping.

Posting to Instagram on Monday, Taylor admitted how ‘surreal’ the experience has been and shared a slew of snaps from the Wembley performances – including the moment her American footballer boyfriend took to the stage, which she is still ‘swooning’ over.

The singer penned: ‘Wembley Stadium round one was so surreal. Looking out into crowds of 90,000 fans each night and hearing that VOLUME… Those were some of the loudest crowds I’ve ever heard.

‘Acoustic sections went OFF. I got to sing ‘Castles Crumbling’ with @yelyahwilliams for the first time – hadn’t performed with her since 2011 and man my heart was just so full of love for her and our friendship. 

‘Then the impossibly gifted and wonderful @gracieabrams came and surprised the crowd with the first performance of our song ‘us.’ 

Taylor continued: ‘And I’m still cracking up/swooning over @killatrav’s Eras Tour debut. 

‘Never going to forget these shows. Can’t wait to do it 5 more times in August. Up next: Dublin!!’

She included two snaps of her on stage with Travis, including the moment he literally swept her off her feet and carried her.

The Anti Hero hitmaker included pictures of her playing the piano with Paramore’s Hayley Williams and Gracie Abrams, as well as some general shots of the show.

Travis’ shock appearance was the first time the pair have taken to the stage together, after officially announcing their relationship on Instagram on Friday evening. 

The athlete joined Taylor onstage for a costume change before the song I Can Do It With a Broken Heart – sending fans into a frenzy once again. 

The reaction lit up social media, with many fans in awe that Kelce handled the performance like a professional, even showing off some of his signature dance moves.

‘If you would’ve told me a year ago that Travis Kelce would be on stage with Taylor Swift, I wouldn’t have believed you…’ wrote one follower.

Another posted, ‘Did I just hallucinate or did Travis Kelce just go on stage in costume and carry Taylor and help her get changed into ICDIWABH.’

The couple, who have been romantically linked since 2023, had never featured on each other’s social media accounts.

But Taylor ‘hard-launched’ their relationship by posting an adorable photo of herself and Travis posing with the Prince of Wales and his two children – Prince George and Princess Charlotte. Fans branded the star-studded selfie as ‘iconic’.

Taylor’s next Eras Tour dates will be three nights at Dublin’s Aviva Stadium on June 28, 29, and 30.

The popstar will return to London between August 15-20 for a second run of sold-out shows.
