Hard farewell for all Swifties: Taylor Swift has played her last concert in Europe. The “Eras” tour continues in the USA in the fall.
Superstar Taylor Swift (34) is saying goodbye to Europe – for now. The US musician played her last concert for the time being on Tuesday evening at London’s Wembley Stadium in front of around 90,000 people. In the autumn, Swift plans to continue her tour in the USA and Canada. On the “Eras” tour, which also took her to Germany, the musician will play songs from her entire career.
Swift also released a music video for the song “I Can Do It With A Broken Heart” that night, which provides insights into the concert series.
Taylor Swift eight times at Wembley Stadium
Some fans had hoped she would announce a new version of her 2017 album “Reputation.” It is one of the last albums for which Swift does not have full rights. She recently re-recorded several of her early albums with the addition “Taylor’s Version.” “We’re so hoping so,” said a young woman in London.

Swift played in London in both June and August on the current tour. She is the first solo artist to play at Wembley Stadium eight times during a single tour, the X-account said.
No comment on the cancellation in Vienna
This time, Swift brought the singer of the British band Florence and the Machine, Florence Welch, and the musician Jack Antonoff, with whom she works and is friends, onto the stage as surprise guests. She also played her song “So Long, London” on the piano – according to her, for the first time live in front of an audience. In Vienna, several concerts had previously been cancelled due to a terror warning. She again did not comment on this.
Tens of thousands of fans cheered the American during the three-and-a-half-hour show. By the afternoon, “Swifties” with cowboy hats, sequined outfits and friendship bracelets could already be seen in the city. When asked what makes Swift’s concerts so special, one woman replied that every time you have the feeling of being with just Swift. “As if there was no one else in the room.”
