Taylor Swift's Eras Tour has officially come to London, with the 34-year-old singer kicking off her stint at Wembley Stadium on Friday night.
Swift is scheduled to play eight nights in London - the longest time in any city over her Eras tour, and something that has been celebrated across the UK.
"It’s been a long time coming but the Eras Tour has finally arrived in London," announced Mayor of London Sadiq Khan on social media. "A huge welcome to Taylor Swift and Swifties from around the world.
"It’s fantastic to have Taylor performing eight nights of her record-breaking Eras Tour here in London, more dates than anywhere else, proof that our music scene never goes out of Style. London, are you ready for it?

"Can't stop, won't stop groovin'," the royal family captioned the video, with fans commenting their excitement that there were "Swifties in the Palace".
