BBC: Taylor Swift was joined by “best friend” Ed Sheeran as she kicked off the final part of the European leg of the Eras Tour on Thursday evening at London’s Wembley Stadium.
Performing a mix of the two songs they’ve made together, Everything Has Changed and End Game, Swift thanked Sheeran for appearing alongside her to perform to a sell-out crowd of 92,000 fans.
The concert was her first performance since the cancellation of shows in Vienna last week because of a terror threat.
It was also the first time she’d returned to the UK since an attack in Southport last month, in which three children were killed at a Swift-themed dance class.
The BBC understands that Taylor Swift has privately reached out to the families affected by the attacks.
She did not reference either event during the show.
Gigs in the Austrian capital were cancelled after authorities said they had foiled a terrorist plot, which was planned for one of Swift’s sold-out shows at the Ernst Happel Stadium.
The 34-year-old, who has not spoken publicly about Vienna, did release a statement after the three little girls were killed in Southport.
She said she was “completely in shock” at the “loss of life and innocence”.
