On Saturday (August 17), Swift performed at Wembley Stadium for the third time on her five-date “Eras” tour, which began on August 15 and ends on August 20. At the show, Swift treated her fans in attendance to a special song, which she sang during the “Surprise Songs” portion of her career-spanning show.
That song was the “Reputation” song “I Did Something Bad,” which she performed for the first time on the tour and for the first time live since 2018. Before she began her performance – which was accompanied by deafening screams – Swift told the crowd, “I’m going to sing a song that I’ve never played on the tour. It’s one of my absolute favorite songs, just because you guys are so amazing and deserve something of this caliber.”

The night before (August 16), Swift performed another debut from her “Eras” tour, “London Boy.” The song is from her 2019 album “Lover.” Swift announced the track by saying, “All night long, I was just thinking, ‘God, I love the English.'”
It is the first time she has performed the capital-inspired song live since its release in 2019. In honour of the occasion, she also changed the lyrics to include the line “I love playing at Wembley.”
The London shows are the first “Eras” concerts since Swift’s three shows in Vienna were canceled after a foiled terrorist attack. Swift’s London performance times recently had to be adjusted following the incident. Wembley Stadium also issued a statement warning fans without tickets not to linger outside the venue during the concert – a trend known as “Tay-gating.”
In a five-star review of Swift’s opening concert of the British “Eras Tour” in Edinburgh, NME wrote: “Even though it was an arena show in a huge, cavernous venue, Swift and her fans managed to build a community.
“Strangers swap friendship bracelets, laugh and cry together, and embrace the tour’s inside jokes and stories (for example, during ‘Delicate’ they yell ‘one, two, three, here we go, bitch’). It’s the power of Swift, an artist who not only inspired the renaming of a Scottish lake, but also convinced countless fans to come and accept that they are part of the Eras family.
“With the ‘Eras Tour’, Swift has succeeded in creating a true show wonder that comes with a beating heart.”
After this month’s London shows, Swift will return to North America in the fall and end her massive “Eras Tour” in Vancouver, Canada in early December.
“This tour has definitely been the most exhausting, most all-encompassing, but also the most joyful, rewarding and wonderful thing I’ve ever experienced in my life,” Swift told the audience as she performed her 100th “Eras Tour” show in Liverpool in June.
In other news, the lawyer for the main suspect in the alleged Vienna concert terror plot claimed the allegations against his client were exaggerated. A third suspect was arrested by police last week after allegedly being in contact with the main suspect. Swift has not yet commented on the incident.
