Taylor Swift breaks Wembley record as UK tour ends

Taylor Swift has finished the European leg of her Eras Tour with a record-breaking show at Wembley Stadium that was packed full of surprises. The pop star was joined on stage by Florence + The Machine and by Bleachers frontman Jack Antonoff, rewarded fans with the premiere of a new music video and gave the first live rendition of her song So Long, London.
