Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift recently made headlines by mentioning her former boyfriend, Joe Alwyn, for the first time during her highly acclaimed Eras Tour.
The 34-year-old pop sensation, who first met Alwyn in 2016 and enjoyed a significant six-year relationship with him, surprised fans by including the song “London Boy” in her setlist during her Wembley Show in London.
“London Boy,” a track from Swift’s 2019 album Lover, is widely known to have been inspired by Alwyn.
In the song, Swift reflects on the various experiences and pastimes she shared with him, such as watching rugby in a pub and enjoying afternoon drinks in Soho.
The inclusion of this song in her tour setlist was unexpected, as fans had previously speculated that it might not be performed live.
The Wembley Show marked the first time Swift performed “London Boy” during the Eras Tour, and her revelation created a buzz among her audience.
Addressing the crowd before the song, Swift shared, “I’ve never played this on the Eras Tour before,” which only heightened the anticipation and excitement among her fans.
The response from the audience was overwhelmingly positive. Fans took to social media to express their enthusiasm and emotional reactions. One fan tweeted, “She’s singing London Boy?” clearly thrilled by the unexpected performance.
Another fan wrote, “Yeah, she’s officially healed… I’m crying,” suggesting that the inclusion of the song was a sign of emotional resolution and growth.
A third fan commented on the poetic juxtaposition of the lyrics and venue, noting, “Singing ‘You know I love a London boy’ and then I’m shining like fireworks over your sad empty town at Wembley is crazy.”
Swift’s decision to bring “London Boy” into her live performance repertoire not only thrilled her fans but also highlighted a significant personal chapter in her life.
It served as a powerful reminder of the lasting impact of her past relationships and how they continue to influence her music and performances.
The move added a poignant and personal touch to her Eras Tour, further endearing her to fans who have followed her journey through various phases of her career and personal life.
