Taylor Swift Eras tour: All of the pop star’s UK dates and who’s supporting
Taylor Swift has officially landed in the UK, and will continue the concluding leg of her globe-trotting Eras Tour with a one-off show in Cardiff before she reaches London, for the first three nights at Wembley Stadium.
Over the past year, the 34-year-old pop star has been performing her career-spanning shows at stadiums around the world, including North America, Tokyo, Melbourne, Sydney and Singapore.
She kicked things off with three nights at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh, followed by a further three dates at Anfield Stadium in Liverpool. You can read The Independent’s review here.
UK-based fans (and those travelling to see Swift from overseas) will next get to see her live on 18 June at Principality Stadium in Cardiff before she plays the first three nights at Wembley Stadium on 21, 22 and 23 June.
Swift is booked to perform a staggering eight shows in total at Wembley, returning for the final five nights of her UK and Europe tour between 15 and 20 August.
In between those, she will have also played in Dublin, Ireland, in Amsterdam, Zurich, Milan, Gelsenkirchen, Hamburg and Munich in Germany, Warsaw in Poland, and Vienna, Austria.

In a five-star review of the very first show of Swift’s Eras tour, critic Kelsey Barnes wrote how the US star guided fans through more than a decade’s worth of “her best work”.
“Her ‘Eras Tour’ was designed as a journey through that staggering back catalogue of 10 albums, from her earlier country twang on her self-titled debut to the shift to synth-pop on 1989, then to the subdued folk and alt-rock of Folklore and Evermore,” she wrote.
“Throughout the opening night of the tour, it frequently feels as though the audience is being caught up with Swift’s past, present and future. In the 44-song setlist that spans three hours and 15 minutes, she shows why the “era” concept is so integral to who she is. Each chapter marks a specific shift in her artistry.”
The Tortured Poets Department, released on 19 April, is the pop titan’s 11th studio album. It appears to have been inspired, in part, by the five stages of grief. Ahead of the release, Swift shared five new playlists that arrange her songs into those stages: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance.
“These songs represent making room for more good in your life,” she says in a brief audio message that accompanied the final playlist, acceptance. “Making that choice. Because a lot of time when we lose things, we gain things too.”
