Taylor Swift Returns to Stage in London

-

Wembley, 16 August 2024 (TDI): Taylor Swift performed at London’s Wembley Stadium on Thursday, a little over a week after police in Vienna foiled a terror plot that led to the cancellation of three of her Eras Tour shows in the Austrian capital.

In addition to events in Vienna, the concerts come two weeks after three girls were killed in a mass stabbing at a dance class themed around her music in northwest England.

The star US singer-songwriter appeared on the Wembley stage for her hit “22,” wearing a T-shirt bearing the words “a lot going on at the moment” — interpreted as a reference to both incidents.

“Fancy meeting you here at Wembley Stadium, London,” Taylor Swift told 92,000 cheering fans at the stadium, footages shared on social media showed.

Later during the gig, Ed Sheeran joined her onstage as a surprise guest. Together they formed two hits they collaborated on, “Everything Has Changed” and “End Game,” before finishing with a rendition of Sheeran’s “Thinking Out Loud.”

Three alleged Islamic State group sympathizers have been arrested in Austria in connection with the Vienna plot.

London police said there was “nothing to indicate” any links between the Vienna events and Swift’s gigs in London.

Tight security was, however, visible at Wembley Stadium, the final European tour stop before Taylor Swift headed back to North America on the first music tour ever to gross over $1 billion in total revenues.

Swift has not herself commented on the apparent plot against the Vienna concerts but said she was “completely in shock” after the knife attack in UK.

The cancellation of three concerts for Swift’s “Eras” tour caused major disappointment in Vienna. However, fans at the London concert expressed unwavering support.
