The pop star also promised to return to the country for future performances.
Taylor Swift came to Stockholm, saw Friends Arena and conquered the stadium’s all-time attendance record, as shared by the pop star in a new post on social media.
Sharing a quartet of photos from her three Eras Tour performances at the venue on X, Swift thanked her Swedish Swifties for showing up and showing out over the weekend. “Stockholm!!!!” she wrote. “Thank you for being the most generous, excitable, magical crowds, and for breaking the all time attendance record for the stadium all 3 nights.”
“Can’t believe this was our first time playing in Sweden,” she added. “But it won’t be our last… 🇸🇪 🥰”
In the photos, Swift sports a few of her newly added costumes to the Eras trek’s three-hour-plus runtime, which now features songs from the 14-time Grammy winner’s latest album The Tortured Poets Department. The singer first premiered her reimagined show at Paris’ La Defense Arena earlier this month, restructuring past eras to make room for TTPD songs like “Fortnight,” “Down Bad,” “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?” and more.
Swift didn’t specify how many fans were at each of her Stockholm shows, but she did address the attendance record while she was onstage May 17. “They gave me this crazy news earlier today,” she told the crowd in disbelief during her opening Lover set, as captured in a fan video. “Not only is this beautiful sold-out crowd here to dance with us and sing with us tonight, but you have made this the most highly attended show ever in this stadium.”
The “Anti-Hero” singer will spend the rest of the summer touring through Europe, with her next shows scheduled for May 24-25 in Portugal. In October, she’ll return to the U.S. and Canada for a second North American leg.
