Taylor Swift wrapped up the European leg of her Eras Tour with a grand finale in London, bringing a night full of surprises, special guests, and the premiere of a brand-new music video.
The 34-year-old pop icon performed the last of five sold-out shows at Wembley Stadium on Tuesday, closing out her UK tour dates in style.
This billion-dollar tour, which takes fans through her extensive music catalog, features hits from albums like 1989, Red, Midnights, and her latest chart-topping 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department.
One of the biggest surprises of the night was the debut of a new music video for the song “I Can Do It With A Broken Heart” from her latest album.
The video, nearly four minutes long, offers fans an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at Swift’s life on tour, including footage of her background dancers, crew members, and how she travels beneath the stage between sets.
Adding to the excitement, Swift performed “So Long, London” live on the piano for the first time. This track, the fifth on her latest album, holds special significance, as the fifth track on each of her albums is traditionally reserved for the most emotionally charged songs. “So Long, London” is rumored to reference her relationship with British actor Joe Alwyn.

The night continued with another surprise guest, Florence Welch of Florence + The Machine. Welch joined Swift on stage for a stunning performance of “Florida!!!,” a song they co-wrote for the new album. Both singers, dressed in white gowns, dazzled the crowd with their powerful vocals and an impressive light show.
Long-time collaborator and friend, music producer Jack Antonoff, also made an appearance. He joined Swift on stage to perform “Death By A Thousand Cuts” from her 2019 album Lover.
The duo, both playing acoustic guitars, seamlessly transitioned into a mash-up with “Getaway Car” from her 2017 album Reputation.

Notable attendees in the audience included the Haim sisters, Oscar-nominated actress Emily Blunt, and her husband, John Krasinski, who brought their two daughters to enjoy the show.
Days earlier, Ed Sheeran had also surprised fans by appearing on stage to perform a verse of “Everything Has Changed” before launching into a medley with “End Game” and his hit “Thinking Out Loud.”
Security measures were notably tight around Wembley following the cancellation of three of Swift’s Austrian shows due to an alleged terror threat. Last month, Swift honored the victims of a tragic mass stabbing in Southport, where three young girls lost their lives during a holiday club event themed around the singer.
Swift’s Eras Tour now heads to Canada, where she has nine more dates, starting on November 14 and concluding with the final show on December 8.
The London finale also marked the last opening performance for U.S. rock band Paramore, with singer Gracie Abrams set to take over for the remaining dates of the tour.
