Taylor Swift Announces New Opening Acts for London Tour Dates
Mette, Griff, and Benson Boone will join the massive success of “The Eras Tour” at Wembley Stadium for Taylor Swift’s London dates this summer.
Swift will perform eight shows in London in June and August and add three opening acts to her set. Mette, Griff, and Benson Boone will perform at one show in June, going onstage before Paramore.

Fans are very excited to hear this news, with one fan stating that the London shows will be “so special.”

However, eagle-eyed Swifties quickly noticed that the singer stated that these were only the first group of opening acts being added to the set.

The international leg of the tour has been full of surprises so far, especially with the addition of Swift’s newest album, The Tortured Poets Department, to the setlist.
One of the biggest appeals of “The Eras Tour” is the anticipation of the acoustic set, where Swift performs surprise songs. The artist has many songs with references to London: “London Boy,” and “So Long, London” being the obvious ones, and fans presume she will sing these during her “surprise song” set.
Along with the obvious references, Swift was previously in a seven-year-long relationship with English actor Joe Alwyn. It should be noted that many references to their relationship and London are intertwined within Swift’s lyrics; therefore, the London shows are proving to be powerful demonstrations of emotion for Swift.
With the addition of Mette, Griff, and Benson Boone, “The Eras Tour” in London will be a great show. We will look to see which performers will be added to the August shows.
