Taylor Swift<\/strong><\/a> fans have made a sport out of guessing which surprise songs she will perform during her Eras Tour<\/em> concerts, but her acoustic set at her London shows might be her most anticipated yet.<\/p>\n

The singer, 34, has three concerts at Wembley Stadium in London on Friday, June 21, Saturday, June 22, and Sunday, June 23. She will later return to the venue for another five shows in August, which will serve as the conclusion of the European leg of the tour.<\/p>\n

London holds special significance for Swift as she has centered multiple songs around the city where she lived during her relationship with Joe Alwyn<\/strong><\/a>, whom she dated from 2016 to 2023. On her 2019 album, Lover<\/em>, she sang of all of her favorite spots in England\u2019s capital in \u201cLondon Boy,\u201d which was believed to be an ode to Alwyn, 33.<\/p>\n

Swift subsequently put a heartbreaking spin on her love for the city in \u201cSo Long, London\u201d from her latest album, The Tortured Poets Department<\/em><\/a>. In the song, she seemingly detailed the breakdown of her romance with Alwyn, singing, \u201cI\u2019m just mad as hell \u2018cause I loved this place for \/ So long, London.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tSome Swifties have been luckier than others when it comes to the surprise songs set of Taylor Swift\u2019s The Eras Tour. Since launching her record-breaking tour in March 2023, Swift has used the penultimate section of her show to perform songs across her entire discography that aren\u2019t included in the concert\u2019s expansive setlist. On occasion, [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Swift also referenced a local London pub on her 11th album, naming her song \u201cThe Black Dog\u201d after the establishment. Unlike her other tracks, though, it may be a nod to her short-lived relationship with ex Matty Healy<\/strong><\/a> rather than Alwyn.<\/p>\n

Swift\u2019s mentions of London in her music predate her romances with Alwyn and Healy. She also name-dropped the city in two songs from Red<\/em>: \u201cCome Back\u2026Be Here\u201d and the vault track \u201cMessage in a Bottle.\u201d<\/p>\n

Prior to Swift\u2019s London concerts, Alwyn broke his silence on their split<\/a>, telling The Sunday Times<\/em> in a June 15 profile that he \u201cwould hope that anyone and everyone can empathize and understand the difficulties that come with the end of a long, loving, fully committed relationship of over six and a half years.\u201d<\/p>\n
