Between singer-songwriter Gracie Abrams, Paramore frontwoman Hayley Williams and even her boyfriend Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift certainly kept the star guests coming when her Eras Tour finally arrived in London back in June.
So, when she kicked off the world jaunt’s final string of UK shows on Thursday night, the chart-topping star clearly knew felt a big surprise was in order. And they don’t come much bigger than Ed Sheeran.
During the “surprise song” section of her concert, Taylor brought out the Bad Habits singer, telling fans: “This is one of my best friends in the world, to the point where I feel like he’s a second brother of mine.
“We toured together on the Red Tour, and every time I am doing the Red part of this show, I think about the memories that we made, and now he is someone who plays Wembley, like, every week. This is, like, regular for him. And he works so hard, and he’s on tour right now, and he’s probably so tired, but he wanted to come out and play for you. And do this for all of us.”
Taylor and Ed then launched into a medley of their past collabs, including Everything Has Changed and Endgame, before launching into a rendition of his signature song, Thinking Out Loud.
Thursday marked one of five sold-out shows at Wembley Stadium for Taylor, where she’ll close out the European leg of the Eras Tour.
