As she continued her Eras Tour in Europe, Taylor Swift was joined by Ed Sheeran at Wembley Stadium in London. They performed their hit songs “Everything Has Changed” and “End Game” to an enthusiastic crowd of 92,000 fans.

This was Swift’s first UK show since the tragic event in Southport that took the lives of three young people. It also marked her return to performing after canceling her Vienna shows due to a thwarted terror threat.

While Swift has reached out to the families affected by the Southport tragedy, she chose not to address these events during her performance.

Swift focused on connecting with her fans, sticking to her planned setlist of 46 songs over three hours. She shared how the large crowd moved her and hinted at her reflective mood with songs like “King of My Heart” and “The Alchemy,” but didn’t dwell on these themes too much.
