Watch Florence Welch and Jack Antonoff join Taylor Swift on stage at Wembley Stadium
Florence Welch and Jack Antonoff have made surprise appearances at Taylor Swift‘s final ‘Eras’ Wembley show. Check out the footage below.
Tonight (August 20) marks the last of five consecutive ‘Eras Tour’ shows at the iconic London stadium and the final night of the colossal tour’s European leg.
To wrap up the mini-residency, which began on August 15, Swift brought out Welch and Antonoff to surprise fans at the 92,000-capacity venue.
Welch joined the stage to perform ‘Florida!!!’, her collab from Swift’s most recent album ‘The Tortured Poets Department‘, marking the first time the track has been performed live.
Shortly after, Swift introduced her long-time collaborator Antonoff to the stage, saying: “I get to make music with one of my best friends in the world.”
Antonoff has worked with Swift since 2014’s ‘1989‘ and has since produced ‘Reputation‘, ‘Lover‘, ‘Folkmore‘, ‘Evermore‘, ‘Midnights‘ and ‘The Tortured Poets Department’, as well as her re-recorded albums.
Swift announced that they would play “a few of the favourite songs they’ve written together”, before launching into ‘Death By A Thousand Cuts’ and ‘Getaway Car’.

As Antonoff departed the stage, Swift then told the crowd, “London, give it up for the producer of the century, Jack Antonoff.”

The first night of her five-night ‘Eras’ tour run saw Swift bring out Ed Sheeran as a special guest. During the traditional ‘surprise song’ segment of the show, the pop star introduced Sheeran as “one of my best friends in the world” and came out to perform ‘Everything Has Changed’, his duet with Swift from 2012’s ‘Red‘. They then segued into ‘End Game’ from 2017’s ‘Reputation‘, followed by Sheeran’s own song ‘Thinking Out Loud’.
In a five-star review of Swift’s UK ‘Eras Tour’ opener in Edinburgh, NME wrote: “Despite being an arena show, in a huge, cavernous venue, Swift and her fans have managed to cultivate a community.
“Strangers swap friendship bracelets, laugh and cry together, and embrace the tour’s in-jokes and lore (for example shouting “one, two, three, let’s go bitch” during ‘Delicate’). It’s the power of Swift, an artist who’s inspired not only the renaming of a Scottish Loch, but also countless fans to come out and embrace being a part of the Eras family.
