Taylor Swift recently made history by breaking a record previously held by the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, for over three decades. The achievement came after Swift's series of performances at Wembley Stadium during her Eras Tour, where she played a total of eight shows, surpassing Jackson's record for solo performances at the iconic London venue in a single tour.

During her final concert in London on August 20, Swift expressed her gratitude to the audience for helping her become the first solo artist to achieve this milestone at Wembley Stadium. She acknowledged the significance of the moment and thanked her fans for their unwavering support throughout the tour.

According to reports, Michael Jackson previously held the record for his Bad Tour in 1988. Following Swift's accomplishment, she is now tied with Take That's 2011 Progress Tour for the most shows performed at Wembley Stadium in a single tour overall.

Swift's London leg of the Eras Tour included multiple memorable moments, such as a backstage selfie with her boyfriend Travis Kelce and a surprise appearance by Prince William and his children at one of the shows. The concerts also saw a star-studded audience, with celebrities like Ed Sheeran, Tom Cruise, and Paul McCartney in attendance.

Throughout the London shows, Swift delighted fans with special performances and surprises, including guest appearances by Ed Sheeran and Florence Welch. She also premiered a music video for her song 'I Can Do It With a Broken Heart,' featuring behind-the-scenes footage from The Eras Tour.

After wrapping up the European leg of her tour, Swift is set to take a two-month break before resuming performances in Miami in October. The Eras Tour is scheduled to conclude in Vancouver on December 8, marking the end of a successful and record-breaking journey for the pop superstar.
