Taylor Swift surprises fans with “thanK you aIMee” at the London Eras Tour

Taylor Swift surprises fans with “thanK you aIMee” at the London Eras Tour


The star of the Eras Tour performed a unique mashup for his haters and then invited the Paramore singer to join her on the second night in London.

Taylor Swift sends a message to Kim Kardashian and all the haters by playing a sold-out Wembley Stadium in London on the second night of the Eras Tour.

“It really makes me think about what it’s like when someone talks shit,” the singer told nearly 90,000 fans. Wearing a blue flowing dress, Swift held her guitar in anticipation to play a song from “Tortured Poets” that she had never played live before.

“It makes me work even harder and makes me tougher,” she added. “So I’m incredibly grateful for it.”

Swift started with “thanK you aIMee,” a song presumably about Kim Kardashian. When she finished that song, she launched into “Mean” from “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version).”

The whole stadium screamed: “One day I will live in a big old city.”

Swift changed the lyrics to, “One day I’ll sing this song at Wembley,” and the crowd went wild.

“Please welcome Hayley Williams to the stage”

“I was also thinking about how special it is to play in London,” she said at the piano, then began to talk about her re-recordings, particularly “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version).” “I asked an artist I’m a huge fan of to collaborate with me on one of the songs and she said yes. Then I asked her to come on tour with me and she said yes. And in London, we’re so lucky because when I asked Hayley Williams to perform, she said yes.”

Paramore’s Hayley Williams bounced down the long runway and twirled around in her purple dress. The last time the two singers performed live together was on the Speak Now World Tour.

Williams sat down at the piano alongside Swift for a duet of “Castles Crumbling” from “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version).”

“You’re my oldest music friend, I love you,” Swift said at the end of the song. They hugged. Williams ran down the runway. The animations on the floor were faulty when Swift dived into the opening of the stage.

The star of the Eras Tour spends one more night in London before heading to Dublin, Ireland.
