As Taylor Swift‘s epic Eras Tour concluded its European leg following a mammoth six-night run at Wembley Stadium last night, Swifties have shared their favourite things about the Pennsylvania-born pop princess.
In a touching display of admiration, dozens of devotees gathered outside Wembley Stadium on Tuesday, sharing their love for the pop icon just hours before the closing show.
The show marked the conclusion of an extraordinary eight-night run at the iconic venue, making Swift the first solo artist to perform at Wembley eight times on a single tour.
The Cruel Summer singer, 34, expressed her gratitude to the sold-out crowd as she greeted fans while opening with her Lover era, telling them how it was an ‘honour’ to welcome them to the tour.
She then said it was with fans’ support that she was able to make the milestone, telling the screaming crowds: ‘You have made me the first solo artist to play Wembley eight times on a single tour!’
