Taylor Swift has wrapped up the European leg of her Eras Tour with eight shows at London's Wembley Stadium, drawing around 92,000 people every night. The pop star broke a record previously held by Michael Jackson's 1988 Bad Tour for the number of nights played at the iconic venue.
To celebrate Swift's astounding success, the venue gifted her a custom Gibson acoustic guitar with a turquoise and black finish, with the words “So long, Taylor, it’s been a Wembley love story” written across the bottom.
The one-of-a-kind guitar looks to be a J-45, one of the models Swift has favored throughout the Eras Tour. In addition to the custom finish and design, the guitar also features her performance dates, June 21-23 and August 15-20, listed around the soundhole.
A representative for Wembley Stadium also left a note which read: “Hi Taylor, Thank you for eight unforgettable nights under the arch. You are now, officially, the biggest-selling female artist to ever perform at Wembley Stadium, and we think that is something to celebrate.
“We hope your very own Wembley Stadium guitar acts as a reminder of your record-breaking shows here in London. We would love you to come back soon.”
Swift's London shows have been marked by a series of special appearances. Most notably, Ed Sheeran joined her on August 15 for a special acoustic guitar-powered rendition of their 2012 and 2017 collaborations, Everything Has Changed and End Game, plus Sheeran's mega-ballad Thinking Out Loud.
For this occasion, Sheeran brought out his Sheeran by Lowden ‘Tour Edition’ while Swift wielded a Taylor PS24, a custom build based on Taylor Guitars' Presentation Series PS-24ce Grand Auditorium model.
On August 20, frequent collaborator Jack Antonoff joined Swift on a wine-red Gibson J-45. The two duetted on 2017’s Getaway Car and 2019’s Death by a Thousand Cuts, which the two co-wrote and co-produced.
The Eras Tour is set to continue on November 14 at Toronto's Rogers Centre before concluding on December 8 in Vancouver.
