Taylor Swift welcomes five new artists to the Eras tour: Raye, Suki WaterhouseMaisie Peters, Holly Humberstone and Sofia Isella, each of whom will open for one of the pop star's concerts at Wembley Stadium later this month.
Swift personally broke the news on Instagram Stories on Monday (August 5). “Just wanted to tell you about something coming up that I'm so excited about: we're adding 5 incredible artists to our 5 shows at Wembley, right before @paramore!!” she wrote “I asked them to play on this tour because I love their music and I think they will smash it at Wembley Stadium!! Go check out their music if you haven't already. It will be a fun 5 nights!!!”
Taking place on August 15-17, 19 and 20, the “Karma” singer's upcoming stint at Wembley will come roughly two months after she first brought her Eras shows to the massive London venue for three nights in June. Mette, Griff and Benson Boone each opened for one of the shows, while Paramore was a fixture on the 14-time Grammy winner's European leg.
Waterhouse, who is close friends with Swift and will perform on the 17th, also shared the news on X. “I feel honored to just exist in the same moment as @taylorswift, let alone be an opener for her on the biggest and best tour ever 😭😭,” she wrote. “A dream come true that I never want to wake up from. I'm playing at Wembley Stadium in my hometown!!”
“The hardest secret I've ever had to keep” he tweeted Humberstone, who will be playing on the 16th. “Like I can support Taylor on The Eras tour !!!!!! Pinch me!!!!! @taylorswift thank you thank you I'm eternally grateful what an honor I'm speechless and can't wait for the 16th!”
The announcement comes as Swift has just two stops left on her European leg, with three back-to-back shows in Vienna scheduled for August 8-10 ahead of her finale at Wembley. After that, he'll return to the United States and Canada for one final leg before wrapping up the Eras tour in December.
“That's so far from now, but again, it's like playing our first show on this tour because you made it so much fun for us that we wanted to do 100 shows, 150-something shows that we have the whole tour,” Swift said on stage during a show in June. “This tour really became my whole life. He has understood everything. I think I used to have hobbies, but I don't know what they were anymore because all I do when I'm not on stage is sit at home and try to think of clever acoustic songs and think about what you might want to listen to. So when I'm not on stage, I dream of getting back on stage with you.”
