The singer broke Michael Jackson’s record at Wembley Stadium in London.
Taylor Swift played his eighth show at Wembley Stadium in London last Tuesday, 20th — surpassing the number of nights he Michael Jackson played at the same place during the tour Badin 1988.
“You’ve just made me the first solo artist to play Wembley eight times in a single tour,” the singer said at her latest performance (via People). “We will never be able to thank you enough.”
This Friday, the 23rd, the stadium surprised Swift with a special gift: a personalized guitar with references to the lyrics of “So Long, London” and “Love Story”.

“We were absolutely delighted to host eight shows from The Eras Tour of Taylor Swift at Wembley Stadium,” a stadium spokesman said. “The The Eras Tour is epic and is set to become one of the biggest concerts of all time. Choosing to hold more concerts at Wembley Stadium than anywhere else demonstrates how iconic Wembley is. Everyone who attended these concerts saw something special that will live long in their memory. The energy and positivity of Taylor were contagious.”
