One day this Spring, when 19-year-old Sofia Isella was fast asleep, her mum came into her room and asked her if she wanted to support Taylor Swift at Wembley Stadium. “I was sleeping, I wasn’t the first to know about it. My mom slammed open my door early and was like ‘SOFIA. SOFIA.’” Isella told the Standard, about the request from the world’s biggest popstar. “While I was half asleep, she asked: ‘Do I wanna open for Taylor at the Eras Tour?’”.
Isella’s mother was laughing, and soon the young musician was too. First of all, the answer was “obvious” (yes, of course), but they both found it “hilarious on multiple levels” that the question was being asked out loud. It hasn’t become any more ordinary since. “I just keep repeating ‘wow’” Isella says. “It didn’t register as real then, March 30, and… it still hasn’t.”
