Taylor Swift will perform her revamped Eras tour in the UK, featuring changes to her setlist, support acts and costumes.
The US superstar restructured the concert as she kicked off the European leg of her juggernaut tour in Paris at the beginning of May.
She cut several songs to showcase music from her new album, The Tortured Poets Department, including But Daddy I Love Him, Down Bad, Fortnight, The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived, and I Can Do It With A Broken Heart.

Those tracks are widely interpreted to be about her rumoured romance with The 1975 frontman Matty Healy.
Fans have compared some of the staging of numbers in that section of the show to performances by the British singer, including Swift’s theatrics in the transition to I Can Do It With A Broken Heart.
The use of marching drummers and a salute during The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived also bears a striking similarity to videos of a Healy performance.
Swift dubbed the new section of her show Female Rage: The Musical.
She has also started repeating songs in the “surprise song” portion of her acoustic set, and introducing mash-ups.
The US star arrives in the UK on June 7 for three nights at the Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh before playing three nights at Liverpool’s Anfield Stadium, followed by a performance at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff and then three back-to-back shows at London’s Wembley.
She will also play three nights at Dublin’s Aviva Stadium.

US pop-punk band Paramore, consisting of Hayley Williams, Taylor York and Zac Farro, will support Swift across all the UK dates.
Brit Awards Rising Star winner Griff will join Paramore in supporting Swift in London on June 22; US singer Mette will perform in London on June 21; and US singer-songwriter Benson Boone will be on the bill on June 23.
The support acts have changed since Swift began touring in March 2023.
Stars including Filipino-English singer Beabadoobee and US star Sabrina Carpenter have performed, while Gracie Abrams, who opened for Swift at the beginning of the tour, is set to return after the UK performances during the Canada dates.
Meanwhile, UK fans will experience several new costumes from Swift which were debuted at the beginning of the European leg – including a red sparkling bodysuit for the opening section of the show.
She is also expected to perform The Tortured Poets Department portion of the gig in a cream ball gown, with the on-stage visuals adopting a black-and-white theme.
The tour is themed around the different “eras” Swift has created during her career, with dedicated sets for each of her 11 studio albums.
