Taylor Swift is planning to put on “the best show of her life” when she returns to Wembley on Thursday, according to a new report.
The global superstar, 34, is set to entertain an 80,000-strong crowd for the first of her final five Eras tour shows in the UK.
It has emerged that her second opening night in the capital is going to be like no other as she takes to the stage for the first time since the death of three girls at a Taylor Swift themed dance class in Southport last month.
The tragedy was quickly followed by a foiled terror attack which led to the cancellation of her three shows in Vienna, Austria, last week.
The Sun has claimed that her pal Ed Sheeran is set to support her on Thursday night, with a possible turn on stage, but ultimately the night is for her fans and to show “hate never wins”.
A source told the outlet: “Everything Taylor does is for her fans and she will be putting on the best show of her life when she returns to Wembley.
“Hate never wins and Taylor absolutely stands for that.
“Her shows are about love, unity and acceptance, and this is a message she will always want to convey.”
Last month the US pop star paid tribute to victims of the Southport attack, which saw three young girls die after a mass stabbing at a holiday club themed on the singer.In a statement posted to her Instagram story, the performer added: “The horror of yesterday’s attack in Southport is washing over me continuously and I’m just completely in shock.
“The loss of life and innocence, and the horrendous trauma inflicted on everyone who was there, the families, and first responders.
“These were just little kids at a dance class.”
Fans of the singer told the PA news agency they hope she will dedicate one of her songs during her London gigs to the victims of the attack – Bebe King, six, Alice Dasilva Aguiar, nine, and Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven.
The 14-time Grammy winner performed a slew of shows at Wembley in June watched by famous faces including Tom Cruise, the Prince of Wales, the Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and Bridgerton star Nicola Coughlan.
The Anti-Hero singer has said that her August set of shows will be supported by Brit Award winner Raye, Daisy Jones & the Six star Suki Waterhouse and rising stars, Maisie Peters, Holly Humberstone and Sofia Isella.
Swift’s billion-dollar Eras Tour takes fans through her back catalogue, including hits from albums 1989, Red and Midnights.
To mark her previous arrival in the capital, murals, a special Tube map, a Taylor trail and a series of events were created. This time, a giant mural of the megastar has appeared on steps next to the venue.
