Taylor Swift Breaks Michael Jackson’s Wembley Stadium Record With Eras Tour

Taylor Swift has broken yet another record with her worldwide Eras Tour.

With her final show of the European left of her massive tour, the superstar became the solo artist to play London’s famous Wembley Stadium the most times in a single tour.

“You just made me the first solo artist to ever play Wembley eight times in a single tour,” she told fans at the surprise-filled Tuesday show, per BBC. “We will never, ever be able to thank you enough for it.”

The record was previously held by Michael Jackson, who performed at the stadium seven times during his Bad Tour in 1988. Pop group Take That also performed at the stadium eight times on their 2011 Progress Tour.

Swift played Wembley Stadium more than any other stadium throughout her ongoing tour, during which she mostly stopped for three nights in cities around the world.

“I’ve always loved playing for you here in London, but this is the best,” she said during the show on Tuesday. “I’ve never had it this good before. I’ve never had a crowd that’s so generous. You seem to have memorized every single lyric of every single song, and that’s a dream come true.”

The record-breaking performance was also full of surprise appearances from Swift’s collaborators and the Eras Tour debut for beloved The Tortured Poets Department songs “Florida!!!” and “So Long London.”

The Grammy-winning artist brought out her frequent producer Jack Antonoff to perform a medley of “Death By a Thousand Cuts” and “Getaway Car.” Florence Welch (of Florence + the Machine) also took the stage to perform “Florida!!!” with Swift during the show.

At the end of the show, the singer-songwriter premiered the music video for “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart,” despite Swifties thinking she would finally announce Taylor’s Version of Reputation. The nearly four-minute video features behind-the-scenes footage from Swift’s concerts.

The Eras Tour takes a break for the next two months and picks back up on Oct. 18 in Miami.
