Florence + The Machine Confirm North American Headline Tour

NEW LP DANCE FEVER OUT MAY 13

Florence + the Machine are set to play an extended run of headline dates later this year, kicking off September 2 in Montreal with further stops including New York’s Madison Square Garden , Los Angeles ’ Hollywood Bowl and many more. One dollar from every ticket sold will benefit Choose Love to aid refugees worldwide.

Arlo Parks , Sam Fender , King Princess , Yves Tumor , Japanese Breakfast, and Wet Leg will join as support on select dates throughout the tour. See full routing below and visit florenceandthemachine.net for more information.

American Express® Card Members can purchase tickets in select markets before the general public beginning Tuesday, March 29 at 10am local time through Thursday, March 31 at 10pm local time.

The tour will celebrate the release of Florence Welch’s forthcoming, highly anticipated fifth album Dance Fever , out May 13 . Florence has shared three songs from the album—“ My Love ,” “ King ” and “ Heaven is Here ”—all of which arrived alongside videos by the acclaimed director Autumn de Wilde with choreography by Ryan Heffington . Pre-order/pre-save the album here .

Additionally, Florence will play two very special, intimate shows this spring: April 29 in Los Angeles at the Los Angeles Theatre and May 6 at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall in New York—both shows sold out in seconds.

Dance Fever was recorded in London over the course of the pandemic in anticipation of the world’s reopening. It conjures up what Florence missed most in the midst of lockdown—clubs, dancing at festivals, being in the whirl of movement and togetherness—and the hope of reunions to come.

Just before the pandemic Florence had become fascinated by choreomania , a Renaissance phenomenon in which groups of people—sometimes thousands—danced wildly to the point of exhaustion, collapse and death. The imagery resonated with Florence, who had been touring nonstop for more than a decade, and in lockdown felt oddly prescient.

The image and concept of dance, and choreomania , remained central as Florence wove her own experiences of dance—a discipline she turned to in the early days of sobriety—with the folkloric elements of a moral panic from the Middle Ages. In recent times of torpor and confinement, dance offered propulsion, energy and a way of looking at music more choreographically. 

Starting, as ever, armed with a notebook of poems and ideas, Florence had just arrived to New York in March 2020 to begin recording when Covid-19 forced a retreat to London. Holed up at home, the songs began to transform, with nods to dance, folk, ‘70s Iggy Pop, longing-for-the-road folk tracks a la Lucinda Williams or Emmylou Harris and more, ultimately arriving somewhere that Florence describes as “Nick Cave at the club.” Lyrically, she took inspiration from the tragic heroines of pre-Raphaelite art, the gothic fiction of Carmen Maria Machado and Julia Armfield, the visceral wave of folk horror film from The Wicker Man and The Witch to Midsommar .

Dance Fever is an album that sees Florence at the peak of her powers, coming into a fully realized self-knowledge, poking sly fun at her own self-created persona, playing with ideas of identity, masculinity and femininity, redemption and celebration.

Dance Fever was produced by Florence, Jack Antonoff and Dave Bayley of Glass Animals.

Florence and The Machine at Budweiser Stage

Budweiser stage, toronto, ontario.

The 'dog days are finally over as the 'dance fever kicks in! Florence and The Machine is set to release their much-awaited fifth studio record "Dance Fever" on May 13th. In support of their album which is “a fairytale of 14 songs,” said singer Florence in its caption for the album's grand IG reveal, Florence and The Machine is set to embark on a tour, stopping by at Budweiser Stage on Saturday, 3rd of September, 2022 with special guest Arlo Parks. They're the English indie rockers behind the smash hit singles "Shake It Out", "Spectrum (Say My Name)", and "Dog Days Are Over". Catch them perform their biggest hits, fan-favorite anthems, and fresh new songs off of 'Dance Fever' live on stage! Book your tickets now!

After 2018's "High as Hope" album, fans have been hoping for Florence and The Machine's next studio record. As 2022 rose, the band shared three new singles "King", "Heaven Is Here", and "My Love", giving fans a taste of new music before unveiling the release of their next album "Dance Fever".

With the 'dance fever coming up, Florence and The Machine dates back to its early beginnings in 2007 when Florence Welch and Isabella Summers started collaborating in their teens. "The name Florence and the Machine started off as a private joke that got out of hand. I made music with my friend, who we called Isabella Machine to which I was Florence Robot…" said Welch.

As a band, Florence and The Machine released their debut album "Lungs" in 2009. It sold a hundred thousand copies in the UK just after a month from its release, and now sold over 3 million copies around the world awarded 6x Platinum by the BPI and 2x Platinum by the RIAA.

"Lungs" featured mega-hit singles "Dog Days Are Over" and "You've Got the Love" which propelled the band to become one of the world's favorites in the indie rock scene. Their second studio record "Ceremonials" also hit #1 in the UK and #6 in the US, featuring its hit singles "Shake It Out", "Never Let Me Go", and "Spectrum (Say My Name)".

Years later, Florence and The Machine continued to release albums and indie-favorite singles. 2022 marks the band's first album for the new decade with the much-awaited release of "Dance Fever" on May 13th. Three singles in, fans are itching to hear surprises that the band has in store in their new record. It's “a fairytale of 14 songs,” according to Welch.

"My Love" is the band's latest single prior to the release of the new album. The track is heavy on synths and exudes high levels of energy for the listener. Though, they shared that it was initially made as an acoustic "sad little poem" before given life as a dance popping track with lyrics inspired by tragic heroines. “Sometimes the biggest dance songs, I think, have a really sad core to them,” said Florence in a talk with BBC Radio.

The Dog Days are finally coming to an end as Florence and The Machine is set to release 'Dance Fever' real soon, and embark on a tour to meet their fans, perform their biggest hits, and fresh new music from their new album. A night of your favorite indie fairytales awaits, book your tickets now!

Florence Welch is the lead singer and frontwoman of the indie band Florence + The Machine, formed in South London, UK, in 2007.

Known for a unique and dreamy blend of folk, art-pop, indie rock, and neo soul, as well as her stirring and ethereal live performances, Welch has been likened to artists such as Adele, Amy Winehouse, and Ellie Goulding.

Florence + The Machine is a band composed of Welch, pianist Isabella Summers, Robert Ackroyd (guitar), Tom Monger (harp), Mark Saunders (bass), and a rotating cast of other artists. Welch credits her bandmates with helping unlock her creative process, as they have been so tuned-in to each others’ musical abilities for so long that they naturally know what she’s hoping for in each new song.

The band’s name came from Welch’s teenage years, when she collaborated with Isabella “Machine” Summers. For a while, the two performed as Florence Robot/Isa Machine — a private joke that eventually stuck in slightly altered form.

With huge encouragement from the BBC, Florence received early critical acclaim and attention from UK audiences as BBC Music Introducing strongly promoted the band. The band’s debut album, Lungs, was released on July 6, 2009, and reached the number two slot in the UK Album Chart, retaining the position for five consecutive weeks. It finally reached the number one position on the album chart on January 17, 2010. By October 2010, Lungs had spent a total of 65 consecutive weeks in the top 40 album charts.

Notable singles from the album included “Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up),” “Kiss With A Fist,” and “Dog Days Are Over,” with the songs being featured on films and television series like Jennifer’s Body, 90210, Gossip Girl, Glee, and Skins.

Undoubtedly, the biggest hit single released from Lungs was the cover of The Source and Candi Staton’s 1986 single “You’ve Got The Love.” The track was later also released in collaboration with UK grime rapper Dizzee Rascal under the title, “You’ve Got The Dirtee Love,” following Welch and Dizzee’s 2010 Brit Award performance of the mash-up.

The band’s second studio album, Ceremonials, was preceded by a demo session in January 2010 at a small studio in London. Several producers vied for the chance to produce it, but Welch rejected their offers because she was after a new sound: something darker, heavier, more explosive, and grittier. The band had the rest of the year to work sporadically on the music, since they were out on the road touring heavily.

When the group did record, it happened between January and April 2011 at Abbey Road Studios with producer Paul Epworth, who co-wrote seven of the album’s tracks. Other co-writers included Kid Harpoon and Summers. Welch had to record many of the vocal tracks in various U.S. studios between shows on her tour.

Ceremonials featured singles “Shake It Out” and “What The Water Gave Me,” with the latter video receiving an outstanding 1.5 million views on YouTube in just two days alongside the track on iTunes in August 2011. The fourth single for the album, a remix of “Spectrum (Say My Name)” by Scotland’s Calvin Harris, became the band’s first number-one hit in the UK.

Unsurprisingly, Ceremonials reached number one on the UK Album Chart and number six on the U.S. Billboard 200. Furthermore, Florence + The Machine was honored with nominations for two Brit Awards: British Album of the Year and Best British Female Artist.

2012 was a year of rest for Florence + The Machine after having gone all out for the past half-decade. By the end of December 2012, Ceremonials had received a nomination for Best Pop Vocal Album.

In June 2014, Welch revealed that the band was working on its third studio album. Seven months later, the band performed the new album in its entirety to a crowd in a private London show. The next day, a music video for the title track, “How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful,” dropped, followed by another video for the song “St. Jude.”

When How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful finally dropped on May 29, it rose to the number-one spot on the UK Albums Chart — the band’s third time enjoying the honor — and hit number one on the U.S. Billboard 200. It was nominated five times for the Grammys. That year, the band headlined Glastonbury Festival, and its set received critical acclaim from a number of outlets. In 2016, Florence and the Machine released a short film called The Odyssey, which combined all of the album’s music videos into one narrative structure.

May 2017 saw an announcement of yet another studio album, High as Hope. During this period, then-drummer Christopher Hayden left the band, but the music didn’t stop: singles like “Sky Full of Song” and “Hunger” came in April and May of 2018. Florence + The Machine stayed busy with tours and song-crafting through the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, when it released “Light of Love” to support the Intensive Care Society.

By early 2022, the band was back on the road, headlining festivals like Madrid’s Mad Cool. The band’s fans began receiving letters with a cryptic print entitled “King – Chapter 1,” which led to speculation of a new single. Welch confirmed the rumors on February 22 on her Instagram account. “King,” the new single, came out the next day along with a music video. “Heaven Is Here” followed on March 7. Dance Fever, the fifth studio album, was released on May 13 and immediately shot to the number-one spot in the UK.

Live reviews

Only a few hours after I wrote about Hozier performing one of the most intimate sets I had ever experienced at Red Rocks, Florence Welsh completely redefined the word ‘intimacy’. The 28-year-old vocalist of Florence + the Machine had been photographed in meltdown mode at the Montreal airport just days prior, so it came as no shock when she decided do to something a little different on the last date of her current tour. Welsh has been pretty honest about her personal challenges with the road. She’s described feelings of loneliness and exhaustion that border on depression. I’m sure she found solace in the fact that her vocal chords held strong this time around (she damaged them not long before her Red Rocks show in 2012), but she seemed slightly unraveled by the time she took the stage for a special acoustic set on Monday night.

Large scale performances and frayed nerves usually equal disaster, but as Florence’s emotions danced around her windswept red curls, she used her sweet sorrow to create an air of melancholy that infected the crowd during her stripped-down set. The audience gained another ounce of empathy with each breath…thus absorbing her sadness and eradicating any loneliness she might have been feeling. The science was exact, so by the time the 12-piece ensemble went into full effect for ‘the electric era’, we had become her friends, her confidants, and her choir. The collective energy was enough to bring the rocks crumbling down on our heads, but lucky for us (and the City of Denver) Florence held things together with the pure power of voice. There wasn’t a cloud in the sky during the entire set, but this season has seen its fair share of strong weather, and Florence + the Machine gave every drop of rain, gust of wind and bolt of lightning a run for its money. The calm before the storm just made the storm that much stronger. - See more at: http://ilistensoyoudonthaveto.com/2015/08/06/florence-the-machine-red-rocks-08-03-15/#sthash.nrdxF7Aq.dpuf

Report as inappropriate

Florence + the Machine are a power force in the UK indie scene who have conquered both sides of the Atlantic since their rise to fame following the release of 'Lungs'. Led by the charismatic and eccentric Florence Welch, the band has a reputation as one of the most exciting and energetic live acts currently working today.

As the thunder begins to roll, the machine appears onstage followed by a majestic looking Florence who confidently takes the helm and launches into the all-consuming 'Only If For A Night'. The haunting 'What The Water Gave Me' follows as Florence lifts her hands to the heavens and the audience cheer below her feet.

Before you have time to react, Florence abandons the facade of a renaissance painting brought to life and has launched herself from the stage to sing and dance 'Rabbit Heart' with the crowd. Her vocals shine through on the soulful 'Leave My Body' as she stands illuminated by a single spotlight and the restraint shown during early single 'Cosmic Love' make for an emotive moment. The finale of 'Spectrum' is a hedonistic piece of dark disco where the crowd surrender themselves to Florence's bizarre world.

Despite only having released their debut in 2009, Florence + the Machine have crafted a live show that is less a gig and more an all-consuming assault on the senses.

Florence Welch has one of the most distinctive voices of this era, and the indie rock band in which she is the lead singer is carried by this timeless vocal performance time and time again.

Opening her concert with ‘You’ve Got the Love’, Florence finds the perfect balance between a classically lyrical performance, and enthusiastic and upbeat. The blend of the band is something that comes across to the audience much more pronounced in a live performance environment. Throughout their transitions between ballads and energetic upbeat songs, they maintained their engagement with the audience, having them hooked for the entire duration. Their stamina is worth noting, as throughout the concert, their performance, both physical and vocal did not dwindle at all. The live performance topped their studio recordings.

Their 2010 nomination for Best New Artist at the Grammys was wholeheartedly deserved. Their dedication to their fans is admirable, and their endeavours to make each concert about every member of the audience is something very refreshing. Florence and the Machine set the bar extremely high for live performances, making no mistakes and topping the quality of their recorded work.

I've waited several years for Florence + The Machine to play an intimate gig near me. Suddenly, on April26th 2018 SONGKICK emailed to say just such a gig was on at Scunthorpe Baths Hall on May6th ! Wow!

Applied online via Baths Hall website, & so pleased tickets limited to 2 per person, we were all in with a chance... Feel so, so lucky to get 2x Standing, the perfect way to see her and the band. My daughter Susie & I went: she couldn't believe our good luck either.

Venue was perfect. I'd researched the playlist from Halifax, May5th, visited the old numbers + checked out the new ones, too, so I felt prepared... but I wasn't: I'd expected the atmosphere to be up close and personal, but it was so much more.

Florence hit the stage & wow! Perfect blend of old/ new, a very balanced set from a hugely professional outfit. Florence was so open & warm giving background to several numbers. She floated, danced, teased and enthralled her adoring audience. We didn't want it to stop: so much pleasure was being shared. Her voice is incredible, it blends with the music so very well. Truly, we are blessed !

An electric show of epic proportions.

While I was expecting to hear more from the upcoming album, I was still delighted to hear all of the classics as well as a few new ones. This was my first time seeing FATM live, and they most certainly didn't disappoint. Florence's vocals were so omnipotent and sharp, and the same if not better than what you hear on the record. Her free as a bird movements and seemingly infinite pool of energy were wondrous to behold. I enjoyed her interaction with the crowd as well, she seemed to bring a life to her audience that I've never seen other live artists do, personally.

The only downsides might have been to do with the venue, which took too long to get everyone seated, also there wasn't much room between people so it was all rather cramped. And the supporting act, which I didn't particularly enjoy nor could I understand very well. But those things have nothing to do with Florence + The Machine personally, so it doesn't reflect on them negatively whatsoever.

Overall, an enjoyable experience that I would repeat in a heartbeat.

I definitely recommend that you go and see Florence and The Machine if they come to your city! They are such an amazing band and they sound as good live as they do on their albums. Florence has so much stamina and tirelessly runs around onstage from side to side, looking into the eyes of as many people as she possibly can. Highlights of her show in Manchester this year were 'Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up)' when she encouraged people to get on their friend's shoulders and she ran offstage and up the steps into the lower tier seating! 'Dog Days Are Over' was a perfect finale that ended with many people leaving the concert with very little clothing on! The stage was minimal but dramatic, with a huge sparkling background, rows of spotlights and a large round moon and sun that came out from behind the background during the middle of the show. Definitely go and see them if you get the chance, you won't regret it! They're worth every penny.

Florence + The Machine @ Manchester Arena

Friday 18th September 2015

10/10. Her voice sounds the same live as it does recorded. She was a crazy ball of energy dancing and running around every inch of the stage in a flowing dress and long hair. Florence even went into the crowd on several occasions to directly connect with people (much to the dismay of her security). Her commentary between songs majorly enhanced the performance as she is adorably shy and has the most calming ethereal presence- which basically means she is a massive hippie. She encouraged everyone to hold hands and embrace and put our phones away and jump wildly with her. Her band were also excellent and the staging- white sheets, almost like sails, hanging from the ceiling which were raised up and down and had lights shone on them- and the gorgeous glitter confetti which dropped at the end added to the magical experience. Next time I will be waiting for hours before to get to the front row!! Could not recommend more!!

This was the best concert I have ever been to. That is being said after seeing a lot of them. She has so much energy, and conects to the crowd so well.

A lady had jumped on to the stage while Florence was performing 'Rabbit Heart' and the security guard went after her. Florence stopped him politely, then gave the lady a big hug. Music continued on to add to the theme of her kindness. She then went on to run through the crowd, and hug a bunch of people. She ran around, then sang a note so clearly as if she hadn't moved a step. She even asked to have every one stand up and dance which was great, because where I live, people have the tendency to just sit and watch at concerts like that. I had a blast - danced my heart out to every song, and felt as if I was on some sort of high due to the energy that she sent through the crowd. I am going to see her every time she comes to town now. For sure.

What can I say? What a fantastic evening. We got to Ally Pally really early to be one of the first in....we weren't first!. Despite the heavy rain loads of people were in the line before us. The doors opened and we all entered. Luckily, we were able to get into the hall quickly, resulting in us being centre stage, 5 from the front.

We waited and waited, feet getting tired. The support band (Three girls from Watford) came on. They were awesome.

Finally,, the moment arrived, with Flo coming on stage. The concert started with 'What the Water Wants'....it just got better and better. The whole audience were enthralled. The audience sang along to every song. The atmosphere was electric. What a talented lady and group of musicians. I go to loads of gigs and concerts. I was looking forward to seeing FTM the moist and she didn't disappoint.

The concert was awesome.

Florence Welch's presence on stage is unbelievable, her voice is more powerful than in their CDs, and she dances and sings with a lot of passion.

The concert started with "What the water gave me", and it made clear that it was going to be very good. The band has a lot of great songs, and the concert was great from start to end.

One of the best moments was when, while performing "Dog days are over", Florence asked everyone to hug each other, then to take something off and wave it in the air, and to jump as high as we could on a count of three. Everyone was jumping and dancing, and the energy that the crowd, Florence and the song transmitted was huge.

Florence and the Machine´s fans shouldn´t miss the oportunity to go to one of their concerts.

Taylor Swift was joined on stage by Florence Welch of Florence & The Machine to perform a surprise duet of their collaboration “ Florida ” during her final London show.

The US pop superstar, 34, wrapped the UK and European run of her record-breaking Eras Tour with her eighth stop at Wembley Stadium on Tuesday (August 20).

In videos of the moment posted on social media, Swift and Welch can be seen standing atop a rising platform flanked by backup dancers.

“Little did you know / Your home’s really only the town you’ll get arrested / So you pack your life away just to wait out the s***storm back in Texas / Florida,” the two sing.

This is the first time Welch, 37, and Swift have performed their hit song live. “Florida” is the eighth track on Swift’s latest album, The Tortured Poets Department.

Welch previously recalled working with Swift on the song, admitting: “I almost didn’t think of the scale of it.”

“There’s the sort of bigness of [Taylor Swift, the phenomenon], and then there’s the Taylor I spend time with in the studio, who is just the sweetest and most down to earth,” the “Dog Days Are Over” singer-songwriter told British Vogue in April.

Swift didn’t stop there with the surprises at Wembley, as she later brought out her frequent collaborator and co-producer Jack Antonoff to sing a duet of her 2019 song “Death by a Thousand Cuts” and her 2017 song “Getaway Car.”

She then blessed the sold-out crowd with a first-time performance of her song “So Long, London.”

Fans had long speculated about whether she would perform the track , which is widely believed to be about the end of her relationship with actor Joe Alwyn, whom she split from last year.

Lyrics include the lines: “I left all I knew, you left me at the house by the Heath/ I stopped CPR, after all it’s no use/ The spirit was gone, we would never come to/ And I’m pissed off you let me give you all that youth for free.”

Swift and Alwyn were in a six-year relationship from 2016 to early 2023. They were rumored to have hunkered down at a rented home in Primrose Hill during Covid lockdowns, while Swift is said to have enjoyed walks on Hampstead Heath during her visits to the UK.

After a brief hiatus, Swift will bring her Eras Tour to Toronto, Canada for a six-night stint in November before officially bringing it to an end on December 8 in Vancouver, Canada.

Florence Welch joins Taylor Swift on stage in Wembley

LONDON — Little did Swifties know Taylor Swift was going to bring Florence Welch on stage for a surprise duet of "Florida!!!" at the final night of the European Eras Tour .

Many fans anticipated a "Reputation (Taylor's Version)" announcement , and they lost it in Wembley Stadium when the lead singer from Florence and the Machine popped out of the stage after Swift performed "So High School."

A brand-new choreographed number incorporated all Swift's dancers. The center platform propelled the two stars and dancers up during the first verse. A swampy green animation framed the "Tortured Poets" addition on the back screens.

As the two singers made their way down the catwalk, the crowd shouted, "Florida!!! It's one hell of a drug." The green light-up wristbands glowed in the London night. The lights flashed to the five beats following the state's name. No wonder a guard told fans in the VIP section Tuesday morning that rehearsals were going overnight into the early morning hours.

When the two finished Track 8 from "The Tortured Poets Department" , Welch took a bow and blew a kiss to Swift. The music started to "Who's Afraid of Little Old Me" and the two held hands skipping back to the diamond section of the stage.

"Florida!!!" has never been performed at the Eras Tour since the album was released in April.

On Thursday, Swift brought out her best friend of more than a decade, Ed Sheeran , during the acoustic set. And for the acoustic section on Tuesday, Swift brought out another close friend and collaborator Jack Antonoff.

Swift has a two-month break before heading to Miami, "Florida!!!"

Tonight (August 20) marks the last of five consecutive ‘Eras Tour’ shows at the iconic London stadium and the final night of the colossal tour’s European leg.

To wrap up the mini-residency, which began on August 15, Swift brought out Welch and Antonoff to surprise fans at the 92,000-capacity venue.

Welch joined the stage to perform ‘Florida!!!’, her collab from Swift’s most recent album ‘ The Tortured Poets Department ‘, marking the first time the track has been performed live.

Shortly after, Swift introduced her long-time collaborator Antonoff to the stage, saying: “I get to make music with one of my best friends in the world.”

Antonoff has worked with Swift since 2014’s ‘ 1989 ‘ and has since produced ‘ Reputation ‘, ‘ Lover ‘, ‘ Folkmore ‘, ‘ Evermore ‘, ‘ Midnights ‘ and ‘The Tortured Poets Department’, as well as her re-recorded albums .

Swift announced that they would play “a few of the favourite songs they’ve written together”, before launching into ‘Death By A Thousand Cuts’ and ‘Getaway Car’.

As Antonoff departed the stage, Swift then told the crowd, “London, give it up for the producer of the century, Jack Antonoff.”

The first night of her five-night ‘Eras’ tour run saw Swift bring out Ed Sheeran as a special guest. During the traditional ‘surprise song’ segment of the show, the pop star introduced Sheeran as “one of my best friends in the world” and came out to perform ‘Everything Has Changed’, his duet with Swift from 2012’s ‘ Red ‘. They then segued into ‘End Game’ from 2017’s ‘ Reputation ‘, followed by Sheeran’s own song ‘Thinking Out Loud’.

In a five-star review of Swift’s  UK ‘Eras Tour’ opener in Edinburgh ,  NME  wrote: “Despite being an arena show, in a huge, cavernous venue, Swift and her fans have managed to cultivate a community.

“Strangers swap friendship bracelets, laugh and cry together, and embrace the tour’s in-jokes and lore (for example shouting “one, two, three, let’s go bitch” during ‘Delicate’). It’s the power of Swift, an artist who’s  inspired not only the renaming of a Scottish Loch , but also countless fans to come out and embrace being a part of the Eras family.

Following this month’s London shows,  Swift will head back to North America this autumn  and  end her mammoth ‘Eras Tour’ in Vancouver, Canada in early December .

“This has definitely been the most exhausting, all-encompassing but most joyful, most rewarding, most wonderful thing that has ever wondered in my life, this tour,” Swift told the crowd as she marked her 100th ‘Eras Tour’ show in Liverpool in June.

The shows marked the first ‘Eras’ concerts since Swift’s three shows were cancelled in Vienna  last week following a  foiled terror attack plot .

Swift’s stage times in London had to be tweaked recently  in the wake of the incident. Wembley Stadium also  issued a statement warning ticketless fans that they cannot stand outside the venue  while the concert is taking place – a trend known as ‘Tay-gating’.

The lawyer representing the main suspect in the alleged Vienna concert terror plot has claimed that the accusations against their client have been 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.

Taylor Swift joined by Florence + the Machine during huge Eras Tour shake-up

Taylor Swift was joined by Florence + the Machine during her final Wembley Stadium concert as part of her Eras Tour leaving fans completely gobsmacked

• 21:32, 20 Aug 2024
• Updated 22:07, 20 Aug 2024

Taylor Swift shocked fans when a huge British popstar appeared on stage during her final London Eras concert.

The American songstress has been teasing fans about secret plans in recent weeks but it was finally revealed that she would be performing with Florence + the Machine at Wembley Stadium. They belted out hit Florida and sent the London crowd wild.

Fans instantly flocked to social media to share their shock, with one writing: "Screaming crying." A second added: "This is insane." "This is so insane like what is wrong with her???" asked another. Fans were already enjoying her final UK date - before the star brought the house down.

Introducing the group, Taylor was nearly drowned out as those inside the stadium were informed the American super star had company on the stage. Clips soon hit X showing the songstress powerhouses in full flow as she made good her promise to end her time in the country with a bang.

She was also joined on stage by Jack Antonof as she said goobye to Wembley with a little help. Before her show at Wembley over the weekend, the popstar met with the families of children who survived the knife attack on a Swift-themed dance party at the Hart Space in Southport last month.

It is believed that she reached out to the victims' families of the Southport attack in private before she made her first UK Eras Tour appearance since the horrific death of the three children . Around 25 youngsters were believed to have been taking part in the event when the horror unfolded last month at the hypnobirthing centre, which runs kids clubs during the holidays allowing children to take part in dance and craft classes.

Fans were treated to a triple helping of Taylors at her latest Eras Tour after her ex-boyfriend Taylor Lautner and his wife Taylor attended her seventh show at Wembley Stadium last night.

Swifties already know there's no 'Bad Blood' between the trio, who have formed a close friendship, but the move nonetheless delighted fans who loved the show of support at Swift's Monday show.

Lautner dated Swift for a few months in 2009 before they ultimately broke up, inspiring Swift's 'Speak Now' anthem 'Back to December', which pays homage to the relationship. After Lautner was spotted enjoying the show from the VIP area, fans hoped Swift would sing the song in her surprise set.
