Taylor Swift performs iconic duets and shock tracks

Taylor Swift did not disappoint as she pulled out all the stops for her eighth show at London Wembley and the final show on the European leg of the Eras tour. 

The Anti Hero hitmaker, 34, treated her fans to iconic duets and never played before surprise tracks during her performance on Tuesday night. 

As the show-stopping concert drew to a close the star gushed: ‘London I have just had the best most unforgettable night with you. 

‘Thanks for wanting to be with us for the last night of the European leg of the Eras tour.’

And as 92,000 fans gathered at the stadium, fans went wild as the star was joined on stage by Florence Welch for a duet of their hit track Florida!!! from Taylor’s most recent album The Tortured Poets Department.

Fans screamed the stadium down as the first few bars of the song, before Florence then emerged to mark the first time the singer has played the track on the tour. 

While the singer famously saves the songs not on the usual setlist for the ‘Surprise’ section of the show, she seemed to make an exception on this special occasion.

Yet Florence wasn’t the only guest as later in the show, during the surprise section the star brought out her best friend and producer Jack Antonoff.

As Taylor gushed over the privilege of ‘getting to work with her best friend’ the crowd went wild as Jack entered the stage. 

The pair then performed a collaboration on guitar of Death By A Thousand Cuts from her album Lover and Getaway Car from Reputation. 

It may have been the last Wembley gig, but it was also a night of firsts as Taylor fittingly performed So Long London as her final surprise song from her latest album The Tortured Poets Department.

And as she closed the show she gushed: ‘Thank you for the memories we will keep for the rest of our lives’. 

Yet despite the night of excited surprises, it seems fans got it wrong after they predicted the singer was due to announce the re-recording of her album Reputation – referred to as Rep TV (Taylor’s Version).

Swifties were convinced that the superstar was going to make the huge announcement after spotting major clues over her August London shows. 

However instead of the release of Rep TV, the star dropped the video for her hit track I Can Do It With A Broken Heart off her latest record. 

Released at 11pm UK time, just half an hour after the end of the Wembley show, the video shows a behind the scenes look at the Eras Tour as Taylor climbs inside her famous box before she is pushed to her place under the stage before her grand entrance.  

The Grammy award-winning singer also made history on Tuesday night as she revealed that she’s become the first solo artist to play Wembley eight times on a single tour.

Making the impressive announcement as she opened up the show, she began with her Lover era as usual she greeted the enthusiastic crowds she told 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!’

The audience then loudly applauded back to her as she got on with her next song – Lover. 

Celebrities flocked to attend the final concert as Emily Blunt and her husband John Krasinski led the famous stars in attendance.

The Hollywood couple were seen looking in great spirits as they prepared for an evening of pop hits from the Cruel Summer star with their children Hazel, 10, and Violet, 7.

Meanwhile Eurovision star Sam Ryder shared a snap of his friendship bracelets, while The Body Coach Joe Wicks also attended with his wife Rosie and daughter Indie, six. 

Formula One star George Russell donned a fluffy pink cowboy hat as he got into the Swiftie spirit alongside his niece.  

Elsewhere Taylor’s iconic backing dancer Kameron Saunders left fans in hysterics once again during his famous one liner. 

The dancer, who has become famous among Swifties, has his own solo during We Are Never Getting Back Together which he changes each evening depending on the city.

And on Tuesday he gave a nod to London based soap EastEnders as he exclaimed: ‘Get out of my pub’ as Taylor handed him the mic. 

The iconic line was coined by the late Barbara Windsor in her role as Peggy Mitchell during her time as landlady of the Queen Victoria pub. 

Fans went wild for the reference as they took to TikTok to share their excitement as one wrote: ‘omg the most iconic ever’.

Tuesday night marked Taylor’s eighth show at the London venue after a series of five consecutive shows in London in August and three back in June. 

It has been a difficult time for Taylor, who was forced to cancel three gigs in Vienna this month after it emerged ISIS had planned to target her fans.

The plot came shortly after three young girls were murdered at a Taylor Swift themed dance class in Southport, Merseyside.

Her Wembley show on August 15 marked Taylor’s first performance since both incidents, which have no doubt been hard for her to navigate.

A source told the The Sun how she would be putting on the ‘best show of her life’ for the five nights in London.

An insider told the publication: ‘Everything Taylor does is for her fans and she will be putting on the best show of her life when she returns to Wembley.

‘Hate never wins and Taylor absolutely stands for that. Her shows are about love, unity and acceptance, and this is a message she will always want to convey.’

‘They will be back hard at work tomorrow for the first night at Wembley. It was packed in Annabel’s as there were 200 of them there, but it was a great night. Everyone was so appreciative of Taylor’s efforts.’
