The Shake it Off hitmaker was showered with a three-minute standing ovation after performing London Boy for the first time since her Eras Tour kicked off. Taylor, 34, told fans: “You win Wembley night two,” after being taken aback by the sheer noise. Referencing her parents in the crowd she said: “I know I was recording a video of that in my head of that, but I guarantee my parents were just recording that on their phones.”
“Every time I have a sad or bad day from now not only will I have the video in my mind but I’m going to revisit that moment,” she added. The singer surprised fans by performing the iconic song which she hasn’t sung since March 2023.
She also sang Dear John, which she wrote about ex-boyfriend John Mayer. Her proud parents were also there to support their daughter on Wembley night one. Andrea, 66, was seen throwing her arms in the air as she danced along to Taylor’s hits.
One TikTok follower also revealed that Scott, 72, was handing out special guitar picks to fans before joining Andrea in the VIP area. They wrote : “Taylor’s parents arriving at London N4. And getting a guitar pick Taylor’s dad gave to security to give out”.
He has also been seen handing out 2,000 VIP wristbands to unsuspecting fans at various shows. Taylor is nearing the end of the European leg of her Eras tour after a year on the road. Last night she was joined on stage by Ed Sheeran, who was a surprise guest.
Her performance on Thursday was said to be “the hardest concert of her career” as it was her first since three girls were killed in Southport at a Taylor-themed dance party. Though she didn’t explicitly reference the tragedy, she made a heartwarming speech after performing Cruel Summer.
“The way that you have chosen to welcome us. “There are 92,000 of you, out here, with your hands in the air – screaming the words. “I know how much planning and energy and effort it took to come to these shows I really appreciate that.” She was given “royal treatment” by police after leaving her first Wembley concert.
A presidential-style cavalcade of luxury cars escorted the 34-year-old US singer from the stadium amid massive security.
