- The newly revealed opening acts are Mette, Griff, and Benson Boone, who will perform before Paramore during the London shows.
- Mette, a 32-year-old artist known for “DARLING DRIVE,” expressed her excitement on social media about opening for Taylor Swift on June 21st at Wembley Stadium.
Taylor Alison Swift is a globally acclaimed singer-songwriter known for her narrative songwriting that often centers around her personal life.
Swift spent her formative years on her family’s Christmas tree farm in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania, with her parents, Scott and Andrea, and her brother, Austin. Her childhood was filled with creativity and freedom, laying the groundwork for her future career in music.
Inspired by her grandmother, Marjorie Finlay, a professional opera singer, Swift developed a passion for music at a young age. By the age of 10, she was performing at local events, including fairs and contests.
At 11, she sang “The Star-Spangled Banner” at a Philadelphia 76ers basketball game, showcasing her talent early on. Swift began writing her own songs and learning guitar at 12, drawing inspiration from artists like Shania Twain and The Chicks.
Taylor Swift Reveals Three New Opening Acts For London ‘Eras Tour’
Taylor Swift is going to have even more exciting company at her gigs when she performs at Wembley Stadium during the ‘Eras Tour’ as she recently revealed three more artists will be supporting her in London.
These are METTE, Griff, and Benson Boone who are joining the bill as opening acts for these shows. Having shared the news on Instagram, Swift said she can’t wait for people to see what these “incredible” new talents bring with them – particularly given that their music is personally some of her favorite stuff to listen to right now.
The addition of these names promises to inject an even more fresh and dynamic feel into what is already set up as one amazing experience during this UK leg for fans attending any date across all three nights.

‘Eras Tour’ London stops will see METTE kick off proceedings on June 21 before Griff takes over on June 22 then Benson Boone rounds things off on June 23 but interestingly enough Taylor has a history of finding artists destined for greatness which can be traced back through her previous tours so it’s no surprise that they have expressed gratitude towards her online too.
Griff appeared especially moved at being given such an opportunity having responded by saying how happy she is through an Instagram post as well as acknowledging what impact working alongside someone like Swift could potentially have on their career together.
These few words shared by the pop superstar regarding why she chose these particular bands reflect not only an intelligent idea but also demonstrate just how much thought must go into every detail around any live show event
where both enjoyment levels from the audience’s perspective are concerned.
“Bringing new talent out with me is about creating an incredible experience for the fans who come to these concerts – at Wembley Stadium during the ‘Eras Tour’!” said Taylor.
By adding METTE, Griff, and Benson Boone to London shows, the feminine superstar shows her interest in a diverse concert lineup too. However, through sharing this good news with her supporters, the musician wants also to give them more unforgettable memories during the concert on Wembley Stadium part of The Ages.
More Details About Taylor Swift ‘Eras Tour’
Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, which began on March 17, 2023, and will end on December 8, 2024, has attracted fans from all over the world due to its new approach and total immersion. This concert series, which consisted of 152 shows throughout five continents, was developed to illustrate Swift’s evolution as an artist over the years through different musical eras.
The performances themselves are nothing short of a feast for the senses: not only does this production include more than 40 tracks grouped into 10 “acts” that represent each studio album thematically, but it also indulges viewers with outstanding visuals. To keep things fresh, the singer changed her setlist in May 2024 adding some of the tracks from “The Tortured Poets Department” (2024) – her 11th studio album.
Swift’s ability to mesmerize people for more than 3 hours with non-stop singing and dancing has not gone unnoticed by critics who have called Eras Tour groundbreaking in terms of concept, production value, aesthetics as well as overall atmosphere. They point out too the fact that she plays several instruments during the show while never missing a note vocally and this alone is enough to call her versatile.
Tickets for concerts have become must-haves among a huge number of people willing to pay any price to obtain them. This has led to so much pressure being put on organizers that they have had no other choice but to take extreme measures such as setting up special anti-touting laws and lowering costs wherever possible just so everyone could afford to go.
But let’s not forget about what happened outside those stadium gates either – because if we do then it would be like denying history itself: social media exploded with posts related to Eras Tour while newspapers around the globe could talk of nothing else for months on end. State leaders even went out of their way to formally recognize this amazing accomplishment made by our beloved pop star while various international institutions followed suit worldwide – talk about global recognition!
Lastly, let me touch upon another aspect that often gets overlooked when discussing events of such magnitude – namely economic benefits brought about through them; believe me when I say that the numbers here speak louder than words ever could.
Local businesses flourished thanks to the increased commercial activity generated by each concert date; similarly, hoteliers experienced unprecedented levels of occupancy throughout the entire duration thus resulting in higher revenues; additionally, restaurants bars shops found themselves packed with customers not only from neighboring towns cities but also foreign countries too who flocked here just so they could say “I was there.”
Additionally, other materials were offered during the tour like re-recorded albums, music videos, and singles. Also, a concert film that documented the Los Angeles concerts was released on October 13, 2023, to theaters across the globe making history as the highest-grossing world tour movie. The Eras Tour concert movie allowed fans to experience her shows again from their houses thereby widening the impact of Taylor Swift’s music journey even further.
As a musician, Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour is evidence of her artistry, imagination, and timeless relevance. The event has not only been a source of entertainment for many but has also created a permanent mark in the history of music by introducing new levels of live performance standards and concert experiences.
