Taylor SwiftThe Eras Tour will be honored with a special memorabilia after breaking a record previously held by MichaelJackson London.
Earlier this week, Swift wrapped up the European leg of her world tour with the last of five shows in a second series of sold-out stops at Wembley Stadium on Tuesday, August 19, making her “the first solo artist to enter the iconic stadium eight times on a single tour.” The record was previously held by the King of Pop, who played the capital’s massive arena seven times during the 1988 Bad World Tour, as first reported Time.
To honor her “record-breaking performance,” the stadium announced that it had gifted the 34-year-old pop superstar a “custom-made guitar.”
“The special gift was presented to the singer’s team ahead of her final show on Tuesday, along with a note from the stadium team and personalised guitar picks,” Wembley said in a blog post. “It has since been delivered to Nashville in America as Swift returns home.”
On Friday, the stadium celebrated the “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” singer’s performance, uploading several photos of the personalized teal and black guitar to social media.
“In recognition of her becoming the first solo artist to play Wembley Stadium eight times on a single tour, we’ve gifted Taylor Swift her very own personalized Wembley guitar,” the accompanying caption read, before ending with a nod to the pop star’s song “So Long, London” from her latest release. The “Tortured Poets” section. “Bye, Taylor. It’s been a lovely #LondonTSTheErasTour.”
Outside of Wembley, the Eras Tour has broken numerous other records, sold over four million tickets, grossed over a billion dollars and is expected to attract more US fans to Paris than the Olympics – and that’s thanks to the “Taylor Swift effect”.
