They mixed together the song End Game, on which they both worked together, and the track Thinking Out Loud by 33-year-old Sheeran. This seemed to signal the introduction of her unexpected songs.

During her unprecedented Eras Tour, the 34-year-old artist spices things up by switching out surprise songs at every show.

She didn't talk about the cancelled shows in Austria because of a supposed terror plot, or the stabbings that happened at a yoga event inspired by Swift's music.

During the 2013 Capital FM Summertime Ball at Wembley Stadium, Sheeran and Swift teamed up to sing Everything Has Changed together.

He has sung on Taylor Swift's The Red Tour before, which took place from 2013 to 2014. In 2022, he collaborated with Swift to release a new version of The Joker And The Queen as a duet.

During the performance, she mentioned that he was "like family to me" and praised his successful career, noting that he frequently performs at Wembley Stadium. She emphasized that playing at such a prestigious venue has become routine for him.

"He has put in a lot of effort and he must be really exhausted, but he decided to come and perform for you. Let's applaud him for that."

After Sheeran finished his performance and exited the stage, Swift asked the audience: "I had such a great time, did you enjoy yourselves?"

Afterwards, she performed a mix of Reputation's King Of My Heart and The Tortured Poets Department's The Alchemy, which is thought to be a nod to her boyfriend, NFL player Travis Kelce, as the second unexpected song.

The American singer changed her outfit multiple times and at one point wore a T-Shirt that said "a lot happening right now" as she performed on stage following the cancellation of her three shows in Vienna due to a reported terror threat.

Speedy performance on the Wembley Stadium stage

Before, Swift appeared during the 22 wearing a shirt with a message stating that there are many things happening right now.

Ernst Happel Stadium in Vienna canceled Taylor Swift's three scheduled shows last week due to security concerns regarding possible terrorist attacks targeting fans outside the venue.

She often wears T-shirts in size 22 that are popular among fans. In the middle of the performance, she hugged a young girl with blonde hair dressed in a light blue sweater and gave her a black hat.

During her performance of Enchanted, Taylor Swift wore a purple dress that transitioned from a lighter shade at the top to a darker shade at the bottom.

In 1989, she chose a pink top with a green skirt for her outfit. But for her performances in Folklore and Evermore, she decided to wear a moss green outfit.

The Ernst Happel Stadium in Austria cancelled all upcoming events due to concerns about potential terrorist threats targeting fans outside the venue.

Prior to the start of the Wembley Stadium show, the Metropolitan Police commander, Lou Puddefoot, stated that officers were ready for Taylor Swift's five concerts in London.

Swift sang a song with Sheeran called Everything Has Changed. She started off singing a verse by herself and then brought Sheeran onto the stage, which made the audience cheer loudly.

They mixed together the song End Game and Ed Sheeran's Thinking Out Loud.

While standing next to Sheeran on the stage, Swift expressed, "He is like a brother to me," as she wrapped her arm around him.

She thought about the time they worked together and said: "Now he's performing at Wembley Stadium every week. It's become a normal thing for him."

"He has put in a lot of effort and he must be very exhausted, but he still wanted to come and perform for you, so let's show our appreciation for him."

After Sheeran finished performing, Swift asked the crowd: “I had a great time, did you all enjoy yourselves?”

Next, Swift performed "King Of My Heart" followed by a rendition of "The Alchemy" as the second unexpected selection.

Swift usually concludes her Eras performances by surprising the audience with different songs each time.

Recently, the singer who has won a Grammy award honored the individuals who lost their lives in the Southport attack. Three young girls tragically lost their lives in a violent stabbing at an event inspired by the singer.

She didn't bring up her cancelled performances in Vienna or the tragic incident involving three children in Southport while she was performing.

The BBC announced that Swift has reached out to the families affected by the Southport stabbings in a private manner.

During the first of five shows at Wembley Stadium, Taylor Swift closed out the European leg of her Eras Tour. In attendance in the VIP section were notable figures such as actor Idris Elba, Ella Richards (granddaughter of Keith Richards), and Jameela Jamil.

Security around Wembley Stadium has been increased, as hundreds of security personnel are stationed outside the venue to ensure a smooth entry for fans.

However, the increased security measures did not diminish the excitement of the fans, who passed the time before their idol's arrival by creating and exchanging friendship bracelets.

The venue issued a notice to fans without tickets before the show, stating that they would not be allowed to gather outside the stadium, preventing a popular tradition among the singer's followers known as "tay-gating."

The Eras Tour by Swift, worth a billion dollars, brings fans through her previous albums, featuring popular songs from 1989, Red, and Midnights.
