Taylor Swift returned to the stage for her Eras Tour stop in London after canceling her Vienna shows due to a foiled terror plot.
The “Lover” songstress appeared radiant and energized as she stepped out for the first of five shows at Wembley Stadium on Thursday.
She surprised the sold-out crowd with a performance with her longtime pal Ed Sheeran, whom she introduced to the audience as being “like a second brother.”

The two jammed out with their guitars while singing a mash-up of their songs “Everything Has Changed” and “End Game,” along with Sheeran’s “Thinking Out Loud” track.
Sheeran, 33, has notably been featured on Swift’s 2012 “Red” and 2017 “Reputation” albums.
His appearance at Thursday night’s concert has Swifties optimistic that the 14-time Grammy winner will drop her re-recorded sixth studio album “Reputation (Taylor’s Version)” sometime this week.

Swift, 34, has re-released 2008’s “Fearless,” 2010’s “Speak Now,” 2012’s “Red” and 2014’s “1989” since losing the rights to her masters during a dispute with Scooter Braun in 2019.
Aside from “Reputation,” the pop star has yet to re-record her 2006 album, “Taylor Swift.”
Meanwhile, Swift made a comeback to the stage after canceling her three shows in Austria last week over terrorist threats.

On Aug. 7, local authorities in Vienna announced the arrest of three teenagers, who pledged allegiance to ISIS , and reportedly “wanted to carry out an attack” outside of Ernst Happel Stadium to kill “as many people as possible.”
The suspects, aged 15 to 19, allegedly planned on using homemade explosives and knives in the attack.
While Swift hasn’t spoken out about the foiled terror plot, she attempted to lift the spirits of her tour staff by throwing a wrap party in London on Monday.
