Taylor Swift has wrapped up the European leg of her Eras Tour with eight shows at London’s Wembley Stadium, drawing around 92,000 people every night.
The pop star broke a record previously held by Michael Jackson‘s 1988 Bad Tour for the number of nights played at the iconic venue.

To celebrate Swift’s astounding success, the venue gifted her a custom Gibson acoustic guitar with a turquoise and black finish, with the words “So long, Taylor, it’s been a Wembley love story” written across the bottom. The one-of-a-kind guitar looks to be a J-45, one of the models Swift has favored throughout the Eras Tour.
In addition to the custom finish and design, the guitar also features her performance dates, June 21-23 and August 15-20, listed around the soundhole.
A representative for Wembley Stadium also left a note which read: “Hi Taylor, Thank you for eight unforgettable nights under the arch.
You are now, officially, the biggest-selling female artist to ever perform at Wembley Stadium, and we think that is something to celebrate. “We hope your very own Wembley Stadium guitar acts as a reminder of your record-breaking shows here in London. We would love you to come back soon.” Swift’s London shows have been marked by a series of special appearances.
Most notably, Ed Sheeran joined her on August 15 for a special acoustic guitar-powered rendition of their 2012 and 2017 collaborations, Everything Has Changed and End Game, plus Sheeran’s mega-ballad Thinking Out Loud.
For this occasion, Sheeran brought out his Sheeran by Lowden ‘Tour Edition’ while Swift wielded a Taylor PS24, a custom build based on Taylor Guitars’ Presentation Series PS-24ce Grand Auditorium model.
