Taylor Swift adds additional shows to the Eras Tour, announces Paramore as support

Ahead of possibly the most anticipated ticket sale of the year (get sharpening those elbows ahead of general sale kicking off on July 19!) Taylor Swift has announced a whole host of extra UK and European dates for her Eras Tour, including additional shows in Edinburgh, Liverpool, Cardiff, Dublin and London.

The multi-award winning singer, 33, has been performing hit tracks from her back catalogue to sold-out stadiums filled with adoring fans across the US since March, and the Eras tour crosses the Atlantic in 2024.

Swift announced a first batch of international dates back in June, but has now confirmed fourteen additional shows due to the phenomenal demand for her Eras Tour. Warsaw, Vienna, Stockholm and Milan are among the cities getting extra Tay-Tay.

The sad news is that these additional dates officially rule Taylor Swift out of an appearance at Glastonbury 2024, with her diary looking far too full to fit in a visit to Worthy Farm.

The singer tweeted on July 5 confirming the full rundown of additional dates, as well as announcing her special guest and support act Paramore.

Swift said: “Really can’t contain my excitement because… we’re adding 14 new shows to The Eras Tour. And I get to travel the world doing shows with @paramore!!”

She added: “Hayley and I have been friends since we were teens in Nashville and now we get to frolic around the UK/Europe next summer??? I’m screaming???”

The UK and Ireland leg of the tour will start in Edinburgh with three shows at Murrayfield Stadium on June 7, 8 and 9 2024 before she heads to Liverpool’s Anfield Stadium for three shows on June 13, 14 and 15.

The singer will perform one night in Cardiff’s Principality Stadium on June 18 followed by her first three dates at London’s Wembley Stadium on June 21, 22 and 23.

She will then play dates in Dublin, Amsterdam, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Poland and Austria before returning to Wembley to close the international dates with three shows on August 15, 16 and 17.

The international tour dates will kick off in Mexico on August 24 2023 in Mexico City.

Swift will then move to Argentina, Brazil, Japan, Australia, Singapore, France, Sweden, Portugal and Spain throughout the end of 2023 and start of 2024 before she gets to the UK.

Joining her international leg will be special guest Sabrina Carpenter, a singer and actress with credits in Tall Girl, Work It and The Hate U Give.

For her US dates she is revolving a number of artists to open for her including indie singer-songwriter Phoebe Bridgers, Paramore, beabadoobee, girl in red, Muna, HAIM, Gayle, Gracie Abrams and Owenn.

Swift recently broken a string of records with her tenth studio album Midnights, which became Spotify’s most streamed album in a single day.

It claimed the biggest first week of UK album sales in 2022 since Adele’s 30 was released in November 2021 and took the title of the most streamed album of the year in its opening week with 72.5 million streams across the seven days.

The record follows after her previous eight UK chart-topping albums, all achieved consecutively: 2012’s Red, 2014 release 1989, 2017’s Reputation, 2019’s Lover, 2020’s Folklore, 2020’s Evermore and re-recordings Fearless (Taylor’s Version) and Red (Taylor’s Version), both released in 2021.
